    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.

    There is an annoying 5-7 delay of blinking "_" before it finally switches to "Loading OS...", and no amount of turning off additional components gets rid of it... None of the sort on my brother's GA-Z77X-UD3H

    im not sure what to tell you then, mine blows through the bios the moment i hit the power button i literally have to start pressing it before i turn the pc on. after post there are 2 flashes that aren't even a second in between then i'm on the loading windows screen.

    here's what i got.
    Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
    Phenom 2 955 @ 3.8Ghz
    16GB OCZ Fatlity Series 2133 DDR3 Clocked @ 1800 due to AM2+ Memory controller limit
    2x EVGA Superclocked 460's in SLI.
    1 intel 320 SSD for OS and OS aplications
    1 WD Cavier Black 2TB drive for Games and Storage.
    1 Creative X-FI Fatality Series.
    1 Intel PCI-E 1000/100/10 Pro

    Due to my setup i have no onboard devices enabled save for USB and the AHCI controller.
