No fair, my raid card has a check stage thats like 15 seconds right thar :P

Same with mine Kal :(

Mine takes a little longer than 15 seconds apparently LOL
Very impressive boot time tho, even with all those apps installed Ricks.

My system clearly needs to be fixed up, reformated and fresh install. SQL server and all the tools is also slowing me down LOL

[DrNip]

Too bad I can't get my Sata 3 to jive as it would be a little quicker. Running a single C300 on Sata 2. Soon as the o lady gets off her computer I will see what it's about.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked mine did as well as that. The Silverstone HDDBoost really works! :)

56 seconds stock 920 setup. 2x 150GB vraps raid0 128K stripe hmm 4K cluster?


Boot racer same setup runs 22 seconds. (measures windows boot time not system restart time), 16 seconds on a single vertex2 SSD :)

Full restart races are silly. Everyone knows that BSODs crash it instantly. No need for "shutting down programs" :p

That one was when I swapped chips and had not loaded lan drivers yet...about 4 seconds difference.

Well, it's time to crack open the a/c and see if I can find the thermostat/temp sensor and fool it into thinking it's warm.

xp boots faster?

[Neuromancer]

It should I was running sub 30 seconds boot times in XP back in the mid '00s. Little OCing little tweaking no raid... just A64, 2-2-2-5 ram and a VIA K8T800 chipset (man what a lickity split setup that was... 35ns mem latency at ~250MHz :) )

Windows loading bar made 1/4 of a pass before disappearing :)

[rickss69]

xp boots faster?

That is Tiny 7...

There seems to be a problem here. If you watch Les's video the time between when he clicks on the app to the result is about 35 seconds. My run on the other hand is done in under 20 seconds. Where is this being timed from?

[rickss69]

The amazing thing is the 2600K is only at 3.5GHz in this Biostar TH67B+ mb. I will put something together for you but there really is not much tweaking going on here. I thought Two of the ssd's in RAID 0 would fly but it turned out not to be so.

Google is my guide atm:

Install OS on ssd with SATA configured to AHCI

Enable Superfetch/prefetch

Enable quick boot in bios

Kill startup/services

hmmmm .........

best I can get was 32 seconds .....

I used basically the same set up ???

must be the theme ???

I was on Aero ....


have to try it when I get my board back

My i7 on the big bang with triple channel and ssd restarts over 10 seconds slower than my single core Opty on my DFI LP with regular sata drive.

Something ain't right I'd say.

[Neuromancer]

My i7 on the big bang with triple channel and ssd restarts way slower than my single core Opty on my DFI LP with regular sata drive.

Something ain't right I'd say.

Its not about the SSD, although that helps.

AMD boards were the SHIT back in the 939 days. Sub 30 second reboots on them easily :) VIA chipsets were really good at that. NF were more full featured and hence slower but still better than modern systems

WD - Go into msconfig and tick noGUIboot and disable startup/services and run it again. :)

killed 4 seconds
Already had the start mune killed except anti vir

[ny_driver]

Why does my computer restart slower with a freshly formtted ssd and xp on the 1st 10 GB and triple channel, than it did with my old Seagate barracuda configured the same with single channel?

It makes no sense and I'm very dissappointed.

[Neuromancer]

Same motherboard?

If not, that is why.

Otherwise, fresh installs are slow until everything gets sorted. I always restart 3 times when testing boot speed. 3rd is usually the fastest.

[ny_driver]

Same everything except what I mentioned. I've installed the chipset drivers, the gpu drivers and restarted a couple more times and it's still almost 10 seconds slower. 60 seconds it is taking, and only have 1 storage device hooked up too.

I can probably tweak it down, but I think it should definitely be faster to begin with.

EDIT: diagnostic mode takes 76 seconds to load less stuff....hmmmmm??

re-EDIT: selective with the 2 startup items removed got me 45 seconds........hmmmmmm

Now I tried ticking noGUIboot and disabling services and it added 30 seconds to my time.

Did you install the OS with Sata configured to AHCI? Critical for best performance with a ssd.

[ny_driver]

I didn't know anything about it.
Thanks.
Guess I have more to do than I thought before I bench.

EDIT: either get BSOD or can't detect any storage devices.

[ny_driver]

I gave up on AHCI for today, but the restart time is getting better.....down to 41 seconds this time.

[rickss69]

I have had problems myself with Xp trying to do AHCI - Go Win 7 for your fastest boot time.

[ny_driver]

Not really the goal.

Just trying to get my HD set up best for benching and decided to test out the restart time.

There are ways to do it.........I need to make a dvd with TinyXP and the necessary AHCI drivers on it. Or have a floppy drive and a floppy disk containing them. I don't have a USB floppy so I have to do it the other way. Tomorrow I'll buy some more DVDs and try it.

[HybridChiller]

i had yesterday a Fusion-IO Xtreme 80Gb in the house, only for few hours, friend visited before he did go to taiwan on holiday and had a nice toy with him.

Asked him if i could run it one time to see how it works, but he didn't had a lot of time.

So i did run Pcmark05 en whanted to run Pcmark Vantage, but Vantage did give constant error.
Anybody knows how this comes ?
For Pcmark05 it's HOT, goes like hell, responsr and IOPS are crazy, this is a tool musthave for Pcmarks.

http://hwbot.org/community/submission/2149739_hybridchiller_pcmark_2005_2x_xeon_x5550_33 171_marks

unfortunally no Pcmark Vantage, i did go crazy.

Boot time i can't say because i used if fast as second drive where i did say to pcmark to run test on that one.
But i think for boot time......... FAST

Boot ime : 63sec with a velociraptor hdd, still waiting and saving for a RevodriveX2

I sound mad because it was 32 seconds the time before.:cool3:

[Neuromancer]

Going to have to pull that score. Its easy to to get 1st place when you do not follow the rules :)

220MB XP startup is the limit. Gotta copy a file to the drive before running 05.

[HybridChiller]

so if you're hdd is to fast , you have to slow it down ?

that's b*****it.

So if i buy or test the best harddrives in the world like say an Angelbird Wings,
i need to slow it down ?

What a kind of rulez is that ?

[Mr.Scott]

It's the rules you have to follow.;)
It won't take long for that to be blocked, so you might as well take it down yourself and at least look a little less like a noob.:D

[HybridChiller]

but how when you have such a fast hdd, don't get more then 220mb ?

if you're drive is so fast, why make it slower for you're score?

is unrealistic

I'm not saying you're not right. I have guys running raided I-ram's that have to do the same thing you are.
It's not my rule, but it's the one you have to follow.
