ASRock X670E motherboard takes up to 6 minutes to boot for the first time
Now the computer starts up very quickly, except that the first time the BIOS needs to be checked, it will be slightly slower, but the first boot of AMD’s new AM5 platform will likely be a lot slower than the current platform.
Twitter user @9550pro released a photo of the ASRock X670E Steel Legend motherboard, this motherboard has a sticker on the DDR5 memory slot location. The top half of the sticker is to teach users how to install DDR5 memory, and which memory slot should be used when installing 1, 2, and 4 memory, these are normal. The lower part of the sticker shows the time it takes for the motherboard to start up for the first time when different amounts and capacities of memory are installed.
Such a long startup time is mostly because the motherboard is testing compatibility and stability, and may even be doing a complete memory self-check. Otherwise, the startup time will not be long as the memory capacity increases, and from the description on the motherboard, the first startup time seems to have nothing to do with the matching CPU and memory frequency but has a greater relationship with the memory capacity.
It is not known whether it is the X670 of the ASRock family or this is the commonality of AMD X670 motherboards. In the AM4 era, the boot time of AMD’s motherboard is indeed slower than that of the Intel platform.
