Super fast boot time with Intel SSD and Core i7 930 windows 7 machine

[gdialpha]

my boot up time is about 6 sec and it also depends on the ssd and sata connections speeds

[theyellowk123]

but my umbuntu boots in 5 seconds.. lol

[richardbirch2007]

Quite lucky my laptop does a very quick BIOS post so I get to the logon screen from a cold boot in 14 seconds.

[MrBen155]

7200rpm and i can load windows in 30 sec

[Sa1tant]

my win7 loading = 11 sec, my comp cost in Russia: 2300 $

[fu11fu]

Ohh cool, its just slower than my 13 year old computer running Linux.

[beyerballler54]

buy a chrome book. 3 second boot time

[davidwilkinson08]

doesnt it start quicker if you disable the windows logo on startup?

[FNGSAMNGS]

0:50 start of boot

[tino730]

Imagine this on a mac, That would be WOW!

[gamefreak964]

If you put this against an equaly priced Mac this would probably be faster

[gamefreak964]

and it probably costs as much as a Mac

[chargersfan1111]

Try it with no Gui boot or whatever its called

[Zoidbercules]

8 seconds to boot on my Macbook Air...

[kyleisreallycool]

you need a better gpu

[geekyloopholesfinder]

these things even GPUs doesnt last long "latest" , after sometime new processor or gpu is launched . like new 2nd gen processors intel.

but saw all i7 boot up videos , i wasnt impressed , becoz my AMD athlon x2 4800+

and gtx 460 boots up on cut to cut same time win7.

[ovidiupatronu]

mine was about 30 secs and i only spent 700$ for it... are the 10sec really important so that you need to spend a fortune?

[exploremagic23]

@ovidiupatronu Well thats only if you use an SSD as a boot drive. But they seriously make everything else faster if you put more programs on it.

[spino155]

When I bought my machine new, first boot was 30 seconds! Now it gotta be over a minute : )

[cyberbuddy707]

Lolwut? My i5 460m takes 32.6 seconds to boot up!

[cravedave01]

What type of monitor is that??

[goodha2]

While you were wasting your time and money trying to boot faster, I was enjoying "instant on", on my MAC :D

[InODependanceSyndrom]

im 5 seconds behind you = 25seconds. I have no ssds.

I do have Raid 0. And I have alot more space at almost similar bandwith. About 2x1=2terabyte.

But heck, you could place 2 SSD's in raid, but you didnt.

So you dont neccesarily have to buy expensive SSD's to gain similar performance.

Im just saying, and just google RAID on wikipedia if your interested. Do thouroughly read the downsides though. Its very easy to install on newer motherboards.

[MetalMilitia072583]

its called P.O.S.T. you actually never see the bios on boot

[Brandon02852]

I love how people keep saying "the BIOS is starting"..."that's how long it took the BIOS to start"..etc...etc...

The BIOS is the Basic Input-Output System....the computer is POSTing when you start up the computer...which means it is running Power On Self Tests...checking CPU, RAM, HDD, etc for anomalies before accessing the HDD to boot the OS.

[lucmitchify]

@Brandon02852 duh..people are stupid when committing when they say " Your computer is slow man. it took 50 seconds to boot... herp derp." when your supposed to time AFTER the POST screen to all the application booted.

[xHAZARD78x]

it might boot into windows fast, but it still took the bios like 20 seconds just to start

[carlusdarienus]

It boots up fast because its fresh try installing heaps of programs and do it again

[bigdrop18]

@carlusdarienus I haven't timed a boot up lately but I really don't feel like it takes much longer now than it did when I first built it. I just may post up a reply video and show how fast it goes now that I do have a bunch more software on it....

[rminb010204]

@carlusdarienus Go look up "Why I love my SSD." Boot up with 27 applications loaded at start, one minute 14 seconds.

[sdamir]

@carlusdarienus SSD doesnt fragment so installing more programs wont really affect the performance, one more beauty of SSD

[401Gaming]

@sdamir this may be true but he only has an 80gb ssd, not gonna be installing everything on that.

[RixxzIV]

@carlusdarienus

... Why would it boot slower because there's programs on it? Unless you have alot of shit set to start when Windows starts, but having that is fucking stupid.

[mastersesss]

@carlusdarienus Well as long as he just gets a HDD like from Western Digital Black series drives. for his differnt programs like games, and such put it on that guy and just put little programs on his SSD like Ventrillo and like music he should always have a fast boot time.

[MichaelJacksonwithJ5]

my is Athlon 5000+ 2.6Ghz proccesor, is that good?

[10cmsub]

@MichaelJacksonwithJ5 slightly better than mine

[enmanuel2403]

right now, my laptop can do better than it. even including bios post time.

it is not to criticize. but to let you know that yours can goo even 5 seconds faster.

look at my video response which not yet my best timing.

[Gollsodia]

I have a SSD, but I use it as storage for GTA:EFLC . I would love to use it as a boot drive. I'm just afraid having it paged as an OS will break it. I'm not to familiar with how much that effects it. Another note, I'm not sure how taxing running GTA:EFLC is for it either.

If anyone has any input on the situation I'd love to hear it. I do understand there is some kind of TRIM command I can use, but I don't understand fully how that works.

[10cmsub]

I have xp x64 on standard sata 2 hdd 2gb ram athlon 64 4800+ and it boots a little faster

[HeadouCompany]

@10cmsub idiot you XP this video Win 7

[psalerno123]

@10cmsub

i hve hackintosh /win 7 dul buut and it has 1600 mhz sdd 8gb ram an auh ati radeon 1366x768 720 resuloshin

but it takes ferevr 2 but :( cuz it has tons a software

[iRBigN00B]

Nice boot time, it's a shame about the bios boot, doesn't look as slow as my classified. It's really sad that my notebook with the intel 80gb from power on gets into windows in ~30 seconds where as my gaming rig with a vertex 2 takes around 45 seconds because of the x58 boot time. Both load from posting around the same as yours though. Instantly usable windows. wooo

[iAUZGAM3R]

u know, thats faster then what my brain can think

[spy96]

@compmaster13 Again, you cannot just add them up. Its like saying putting 2 engines on a car, it will go twice as fast. It wont, most likely will go slower. Hyperthreading isn't magically doubling your CPU either.

You do have a shitty laptop, it's nowhere close to a good laptop (Not talking about notebooks here). I have an i7 OC'd at 3.7GhZ, I'm not having a 29.6 GhZ processor, its just 4 cores at 3.7. The frequency isn't everything son.

[compmaster13]

@spy96 £1200 laptop ($2400) is shitty???

again, please put your windows experience rating for your processor.

If you don't post it, I will assume that you have a lower score than me (7.6).

[compmaster13]

@spy96 my chipset is top of the range and I have the best laptop graphics card to date (ATI Mobility Radeon 5870- modular so I can easily take it out when it gets too old ).

Try running Crysis 2 on your machine at max graphics then report back.

My laptop can run Crysis 2 at best visuals and it doesn't even lag (fps is 54).

[compmaster13]

@spy96 You are a show off, a liar and a n00b at computers.

Do you have the first Crysis? tell me your user ID then I could own you.

[compmaster13]

@spy96 btw, what is your CPU rating on Windows 7?

Mine is 7.6.

[compmaster13]

@spy96 I have a laptop.

It's one of the best laptops around and can play Crysis Wars maxed out without the CPU usage going over 25%.

You get Crysis and report back what the CPU usage is for you when you put it maxed out.

[xXMW2VideozXx]

My £400 computer is faster :P But then again its got a Crucial C300 :)

[abhispace4]

start the timer when turning on the machine from Cold Boot. That's your proper boot time.

[Chazillor]

@compmaster13 It's not effectively 13.6 GHz it doesn't work like that.

[fabknu]

INTEL/NVIDIA ftw ...

But you really think this is fast ? LoL

[anmolbagga]

load ur comp with ubuntu... it will be superfast like bullet!!!

[anmolbagga]

load ur comp with ubuntu... it will be superfast like bullet!!!

[bobctx]

I have Intel core 2 quad q6600 how much these for INTEL SSD?

[parkerreno005]

Why is everyone saying AMD? Intel FTW!

[TMNoob3]

Fail! Should have went AMD, could have gotten a more powerful GPU!

[jallen95]

@TMNoob3 And when it failed in a year he could have just bought another one.

[Xtclilium]

remove the windows boot gui and it will be about 3 sec faster

[compmaster13]

@Xtclilium not a GUI.

GUI stands for Graphics User Interface.

There's no graphics on the OS selection screen.

[Xtclilium]

@compmaster13 it say in the option "no boot gui" so tell microsoft they are wrong...

[Houstof]

people saying its not worth it... well... its not worth it to have faster boots... faster softwares load time.... faster games loading screens... faster copy past.... faster "shift del" on huge files.... faster live screen recording because of faster writing speed.... faster file saves on huge files on photoshop and many other softwares that handles large files.... and much more... well... its not worth it.... not worth it to still have a standard HD inside youre hood....

[incurableboy]

Nice monitor... I have the same one!

[darkcg79]

@incurableboy: No, that's a crap monitor. A "nice" monitor is an Eizo, a Nec, an high end brand. That's just huge commercial crap.

[gameplayernvidia]

Also costs 7 out of 10 times more lol

[Windows7UIRocks]

WOW thats fast, Faster than my PC

[HeadShot360IN]

my laptop with i5 2.26ghz 4gb ram, turn off the graphical boot (when it shows the windows logo and such), takes 10 seconds to boot :D

[awais142]

The final truth to the entire competition between amd and intel i7 core is x4 can load close to as fast and you dont spend as much money as i7 but i7 is faster but really why pay so much more to see a bit difference in speed you can equally have fun with amd and its great for gaming

[mcwiggles1213]

i use an AMD Phenom II x830 and 6gb DDR3, windows 7 home premium. takes maybe 15 seconds to load before you hit the login... fast enough for me.

[wrathattack]

my machine would be halfway done with windows loading while your waiting for bios.. And I'm running a regular HDD.

[SoundslikeDisturbed]

dude.. you can't put an i7 in a little tower.. would have been better if you spent those 200$ on a better case and some additional cooling..

[chiefmegadeth]

my comp takes about 40sec to boot, from when i hit the power button and im running on a old PC Amd athlon 64 X2 Dual core processor 2.40GHz 3gig of ram 32bit windows 7 op system,Sata 2 1.5TB harddrive and another 1tb hardrive for my evil downloads...

Im looking to rebuild a new PC,not going to spend alot...i like AMD because you can get 6core for $260 top of the line AMD compared too,i think it was Intel i7 6core for $1400 and i will get 8 gig of ram this time...

SSD seems like a good buy

[chiefmegadeth]

@chiefmegadeth Also looking to get like 6TB's of hardrive space...cause i love to download in HD everything,also not a PC gamer at all...i like consoles better,but thats just me

[mariokid2115]

24s from first press of power. thats fast but macbook air is still faster at 12s . I am not saying it is better just a faster boot-up.

[aaainaaaa]

ummm,, thats shit,, my pc with SSD an i7960, boots in 8 sec's from the point when I press power on, i dont wait for bios post. Go back to ya xbox noob

[travisbrummett]

@aaainaaaa you should post a video on that.

[PublishedProductions]

nice comp i have a i7 930 i need to get a ssd soon.

[fattymcgee123]

Sheesh some people are critical. If it's your first build and you had a budget, it's fine. I just finished my own first build, but i wish i had a SSD. Current hardware is P6T mobo, i7-930 with a tiny oc to 3.2ghz (no voltage increase, stable with prime/ burn test/ linx) 6gigs mushkin @1604mhz, 1tb caviar black, sapphire 6870, hx750w, hyper212+ cooler for cpu. Case is CM storm sniper. Think that's about it. Still, your startup time destroys mine. Friggen SSD.

[mississippi789]

nnniiiccceee i just got one 2 its a emachines et1331g with 4gb ram amd athlon II x2 dual cour 1.6 each and of course an ati radeon hd 5550 with 1gb onboard ram :)

[remondo]

lol shitty little heatsink

[Ravenex2]

Think I'll go for 120gig SSD/600gig WD Raptor for my next rig (currently having someone build me a budget PC).

[arex123456789]

20s?!!?! mój się włącza przez 3 min

[RavenholmHunter]

I have a question buddy should i get this :

Intel Core i7 920 2.66 Ghz (no OC)

or

AMD Phenom II X6 (no OC)

with these :

ATI Radeon HD5830 1GB DDR5

4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz ram ? Help me :S

[bigdrop18]

@RavenholmHunter i made my cpu and gpu decisions based on budget and the results i read on cpubenchmark (google it!) not a pro so i can't provide any solid information... in hindsight i should have gotten a different video card. suggest you ask some more people

[RavenholmHunter]

@bigdrop18 Ohhh i se, i know i7 is bit stronger but i was gonan make sure

[compmaster13]

@bigdrop18 There's more components to test to BIOS takes longer to load.

My BIOS on my $69 motherboard takes around 10 seconds to load from pushing the power button because there is loads of things to test.

Desktop:

Processor: AMD Sempron 140 @3.8GHZ (Overclocked from 2.7GHZ)

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1066, 2GB DDR2 800 (Yes, my motherboard can take both DDR2 and DDR3- It's also AM3/AM2+ compatible)

HDD: IDE 7200RPM 40GB, 500GB 5400RPM SATA, 1TB 10000 RPM SATA

Graphics: ATI Radeon 4350 512MB@ 600MHZ

[barcode625]

@RavenholmHunter i wouldnt waste money on the 920 when the 930 is the same price and slightly faster at 2.8, microcenter has them for 199.99 if you have that in your area. i have mine oc to 3.8 at only 1.27 vcore prime95 stable for 12 hours, real stout cpu.

[RavenholmHunter]

@barcode625 Getting 930 than thanks buddy :D

[asus3571]

@RavenholmHunter go for the 920 def

[RavenholmHunter]

@asus3571 Nope ill get 930

[asus3571]

@RavenholmHunter i would have sugested that but you said between 920 and x6

[RavenholmHunter]

@asus3571 oh thx for help i seen that i7 is better for HC gaming and thats excatly why ill use it fo

[kevtheforsaken]

@RavenholmHunter i7 920 for sure, intel is way better atm for gaming.

[RavenholmHunter]

@kevtheforsaken i7 930 is one im getting thx for help guys :D

[XPTeCstasy]

@RavenholmHunter Intel Core i7 920 has 4 cores and the AMD Phenom II X6 has 6 cores.

[RavenholmHunter]

@XPTeCstasy I know that, i7 is better for gaming so im getting i7 930

[wwyk1993]

@RavenholmHunter If you're getting a Radeon card with 4GB RAM, you should be getting the Phenom II X6. The Intel Supports triple channel RAM, not dual channel, which is what you chose here. And Radeon works better with AMD processors through my experience.

[RavenholmHunter]

@wwyk1993 So if 6 GB Ram i7 ? Thx mate :D

[wwyk1993]

@RavenholmHunter That's good.

[VickyH825]

@RavenholmHunter Go for the AMD, you will save money + ATI cards from what ive heard generally work better with AMD

[RavenholmHunter]

@VickyH825 Nvidia is too expensive ill get AMD thx brah :D

[Waterbirdz101]

@RavenholmHunter Core i7 920. Best one IMO

[RavenholmHunter]

@Waterbirdz101 Im getting i7 950, I cant find 920 here in easter europe.

[zasx20]

@RavenholmHunter intel, and switch your graphics to NVIDA

[RavenholmHunter]

@zasx20 460GTX ?

[stepxunit]

@RavenholmHunter NO 6 core.. there arent any programmes that uses 6 cores yet so why should u buy it :/

[RavenholmHunter]

@stepxunit You are right there buddy. Im getting i7 950 :DDDDD

[ShadowRSonic]

@RavenholmHunter ]

The Phenom II X6, it has a higer clock speed and has just as more cores than the standard i7, however, you may want to check that your mobo supports socket AM3 processors and 6 core processors.

[RavenholmHunter]

@ShadowRSonic Im getting new mobo. IDK i7 stuff is really expenisve, its mobo costs 350 $ but phenom oen costs 100 $

[stepxunit]

@ShadowRSonic Phenom = 2 times 3 cores.. there arent any programmes that uses 6 cores.. so why buy 6cores if you can't really use it except for bechmark crap.. also my i7 950 comes out 7/10 tests faster then the phenom..

[PeleGiannisGalpe]

oh im planning to buy same ssd and i7 950

[tazss159]

ur comp is shit, why does it take so much time at the bios, my 8 yr old machine comes up with the bios faster then that.

[bigdrop18]

@tazss159 ask evga

[tazss159]

@bigdrop18 yeah so you should time you're computer from the Bios cause that counts.

[wwyk1993]

@tazss159 Dude, computer these days have so many hardware that they need to post at the bios, of course the bios is slow....

[fabknu]

@tazss159 You don't know shit. More complex is the machine or the components, higher is the oc, longer the POST will be... It's normal it takes that long and its normal your shitty rig needs less time for the POST ...

[Natebeats]

@tazss159 Oh great you have a faster post, That means dick all. Retard.

[compmaster13]

@tazss159 There's more components to test so BIOS takes longer to load.

My BIOS on my $69 motherboard takes around 10 seconds to load from pushing the power button because there is loads of things to test.

Desktop:

Processor: AMD Sempron 140 @3.8GHZ (Overclocked from 2.7GHZ)

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1066, 2GB DDR2 800 (Yes, my motherboard can take both DDR2 and DDR3- It's also AM3/AM2+ compatible)

HDD: IDE 7200RPM 40GB, 500GB 5400RPM SATA, 1TB 10000 RPM SATA

Graphics: ATI Radeon 4350 512MB@ 600MHZ

[Keruaran]

Meh, I've watched an Amiga One boot in 9 seconds (yes they're still around) and my cheap AMD X3 system boots from a garden variety WD hard drive boots faster than this also... Nice system though, put Ubuntu or Arch on it and then show us how fast it boots. :)

[Kin632]

What I would do is put the operating system on an SDD and my programs on a HDD.

That's just my personal prefrence.

[DrewOC45]

SSD is superior. Nice

[sabrecool2140]

Throw that silly Intel Stock cooler out and replace it with a Corsair H50 or H70, OC your CPU to 4.2GHz and break a few world records :):P O n if possible get another SSD and put them in RAID 0. You'll get a 10s boot up time then :D

[ChronologieIV]

@bigdrop18 do you have the model of the LCD monitor?

[feverhigh]

my dell i7 740 takes more than a minute to boot! is there something wrong???

[birdman1265]

@feverhigh Dell sucks ass

[easternclive]

@feverhigh too much Pr0n

[thehostler]

Why a 930? It's basicly a higher clocked 920...

[XombieJer]

@thehostler Because that's the one being sold by most major manufacturers. I just bought a 930 with my build from newegg because I wanted to get all of my parts and not get everything and then have to wait another week on the cpu.

[thehostler]

@XombieJer in holland (where i live) it's the other way around. 920 is always in stock, 930 not.

[jackburton2009]

Nice and all but is it worth spending $200 to shave 10 seconds off of boot time? More a novelty than useful.

[bigdrop18]

@jackburton2009 you're probably right. but the benefits aren't limited to just boot up time. Large programs open super fast...everytime i'm on a machine without an ssd I'm reminded how fast having the ssd makes things and I think it's pretty sweet.

[Redeemed]

@bigdrop18 SSD is nice, but I believe at that price, you can easily get a traditional hard drive that can match, if not exceed, SSD's speed.

[conejoxxx]

@bigdrop18 Agree

[lelos14]

@bigdrop18 so what?i dont wonna spend 200€ on a ssd just because i wonna run CoD5,6,7 in 2 secs instead of 4..

[djshortsleeve]

@bigdrop18 Yes its definately worth it. I just built a rig with a Corsair 128 GB SSD. Think about it, if your OS is on SSD, everything you do involving the OS is faster. Opening highly used files, navigating the OS, web browsing.

[blakelocati]

@jackburton2009 That is a lot more than a 10 second shave off the boot time. That is insanely fast! I have a similar setup but a 5970 and a few different things (can be seen at my channel: blakelocati) but without the SSD and my boot times are around 40 seconds and don't forget the application start times also. Once booted, I have to wait another 15 seconds for my antivirus, msi afterburner, fraps, and some other driver programs to open so these things are really worth the price.

[darkcg79]

@jackburton2009: Yes, it worths. You can't understand how much it worths until you get one.

[compmaster13]

@jackburton2009 more exensive boards take as long to load.

There's more components to test to BIOS takes longer to load.

My BIOS on my $69 motherboard takes around 10 seconds to load from pushing the power button because there is loads of things to test.

Desktop:

Processor: AMD Sempron 140 @3.8GHZ (Overclocked from 2.7GHZ)

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1066, 2GB DDR2 800

HDD: 500GB 5400RPM SATA

Graphics: ATI Radeon 4350 512MB@ 600MHZ

[MetalPower86]

great build, but gts 250? you should have gotten a little better graphics card but still nice build, oh yeah and how big is that asus monitor? im thining of getting an asus monitor to go with my new build

[bigdrop18]

@MetalPower86 thanks for the compliments. I had a budget so I guess that's my excuse for the graphics card (i'm not big into games either)...the monitor is a ASUS VH242H 24"

[Keruaran]

@bigdrop18 GTS250 is still more than enough bang for buck for most people though. You can play Mass Effect 2 on it with everything turned right up and its sweet. :)

[thelegendbullet937]

ah mah gawsh that's my monitor! lol

[Axemasta]

Windows booted in 15 seconds!!!!

[jcam962]

what's the motherboard?

[bigdrop18]

@jcam962 EVGA X58 SLI LE

[azura13liss]

not really impressive, but okay, mine boot about just as fast, at a intel core 2 duo 8400. getting my 930 i7 this week, we'll see how it stacks up. you have a decent video card but not really high end. atleast a 260 would've been a better match up with your other components. imo

[rockgod2131]

@MacbookProUltimate Does it really matter? Those 4 seconds are really life changing huh?

[ApocDevTeam]

That CPU was born to be overclocked, you should really get a custom cooler like the highly rated Zalman CNPS9900A :)

[DarthSitthiander]

Have you ever had windows installed on a HDD with the rest of your current PC? If yes, how long was the boot time?

[Socketassault]

what case is that?

[bigdrop18]

@Socketassault  Ultra XBlaster Mid-Tower Case Black (it's not that great)

[Socketassault]

@bigdrop18 Oh, never heard of it...

[youngdones]

It usually takes my PC a good 3-4 full minutes from start up and into Vista 64-bit desktop with my C2Q 2.66 GHz and 6GB RAM.

[mightymelee]

lol stopwatch fail

[mitchthegolfer]

why are you using stock heatsink? corsair h50 water coolings are where its at

[bigdrop18]

@mitchthegolfer I'm lucky I got this thing working at all and I'm not much of a modder or super tech smart guy. Not sure if I really want/need to invest in water cooling as I don't (yet) intend to do much, if any, overclocking.

[fox20012]

yeah thats quick my takes about five minutes ... not joking

[LoftyCuber]

Hm, I have a OCZ Vertex and after bios it takes my Core2Duo 2.0ghz about 13 seconds to boot windows. Turning off GUI boot really does take off a couple seconds. I'd recommend it.

[SonEriccs]

impressive boot time, kudos. my IBM Intellistation Z Pro with dual 3.4 ghz Xeon's booted up with 1 bios ram check, 1 network adapter bios check and and entering the bios to check temperatures and booting into windows with 65 processes after logging in and signing into live took roughly 2 mins 45 seconds. give or take.

[djxxlaker]

nice... how many processes are run right after you start up..
