New Processing CHIP for extreme gaming

[Alhanelem]

You are right if you assume that people upgrade often (which most do, I guess). For me however, I buy once and use it as long as I can.

You know, a lot of people say this, but in reality, the bleeding edge CPU doesn't last that much longer than the less expensive model, making pirce/performance an almost irrelevant statistic.

I'm bound to shitty AMD chipsets which still have problems booting efficiently (aka "I'll stop booting for whatever reason and sit there doing nothing for 15 seconds").

I've never had a problem like this. You must have gotten a bad board or something.

Definietly not. I tried 4 boards of different manufacturers, all of them had the same weird booting stop.

And I'm definitely not alone on this, just do a "sb750 slow boot" google search, you'll find loads of posts about it. It's more likely you didn't notice the issue because you are used to it.

edit: just an example

I'm using the SB950 and boot in 13 seconds flat in AHCI, unless i'm using the on board raid then it takes around 7 seconds to initialize each drive plus the 10 second controller initialization time which is typical of all software raids.

Are we talking about the time it takes from pressing the on button to desktop appearing here? I'm not using raid, ssd is the crucial m4. My brother has a similar boot time as you with the same SSD but Intel's Z78 chipset. My booting time is about 24-31 seconds.

yes 13 seconds, until the PC is in the ready state using Intel 320 SSD.

That is interesting. Which board do you have? BIOS or UEFI?

BIOS, i find that UEFI likes to hide many settings.
