Question ASUS x99 deluxe long boot time despite of dram training disabled and fast boot enabled

[mike_]

Hi guys, I have tried this guide https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/fix-for-slow-boot-issue-of-asus-x-99-motherboards.2447240/ to solve the long ASUS splash screen by my ASUS x99 Deluxe motherboard, but I have only gained a difference of 20 seconds (before it took 1:20 min and now 1 min). I have disconnected all my USB devices and my second SSD hard disk Samsung Evo 860 but the ASUS splash screen still takes 1 minute to disappear to boot my windows 10 OS. Is there anything else I can try to reduce the long splash screen time?. My BIOS is the same as shown in the above link.

Have you tried the newer BIOS udpates? Also what are your full specs?

No, I didn't because I have read that this is a common issue by ASUS for this board, so I believe it is not necessary to play with the fire and do a bios update.

My system has the following specs:

ASUS X99-DELUXE II (socket 2011)
Intel Core i7 6800K @ 3.40GHz
ASUS Nvidia 1080 GTX 4GB
32 GB RAM 1066MHz
Western Digital WDC 4TB WD4003FZEX-00Z4SA0 (SATA )
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB
Samsung SSD 970 PRO 512GB
Windows 10 Home 64bit

BIOS updates do fix issues (and can improve performance).

How often do you restart your system? I usually only do after a major Windows 10 update, so something like a 1 minute boot up isn't something you should have to deal with all that often.

That is right but in this case, I have read while searching via google that this is an issue of Asus dependent on this board. On their page, I have seen that they have provided a bios update
for this board, the last time 07/2017 and I did my last update also then. So I don't believe that this would solve the problem. I believe more that there is a system self-check running which
causes this issue. The delay in most cases relates to hardware checks while booting the system. Maybe I will contact Asus and see what solution they provide (or not) for that issue.

I restart my system sparse times because, on my other disc, I am using Ubuntu (for machine learning dev) and I need only to reboot and go to the bios to switch my discs. I have installed every OS on a separate disc, because if I want to reinstall one of them then I don't want to touch the bootloader. Is there any way I can install the bootloader on a separate partition to not influence one of the systems if I want to reinstall in future one of them?.

X99 and x299 systems are known to have long post times, it's a HEDT chipset with tons of components that need to intialize. I am having a hard time taking out my x99/5960x guts and replacing them with x570/5800x almost feels like sacrilege lol.

Usually there is an option to download and flash from within the mainboards BIOS settings. I have used that many times on many different boards without any problems.

Also, if you check your manual I believe that board has BIOS flashback? So you can recover it even if it goes bad.

Worse comes to worse, there are various online vendors that will send you a new bios chip.

That is right but over 1 minute to wait until the self-check has passed is not acceptable. Is there any possibility to display any self-test on startup while the pc starts?

This is the rig I have, x99 AII , 6800K, GSKILL 64 (16x4)

Their newest BIOS is already over a year old. Reset to default helps with issues. This has been running quite fine for over 5 years.
