Just built my system and wanted to check that this is normal. My average boot up time is around 30-45 seconds which i think is crazy but im wondering if there is something wrong? It seems my board gets stuck on the gpu led for about 7-10 seconds then it goes through everything fine.

Video to show you what i mean : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZH6ZOqOxHYs" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZH6ZOqOxHYs

All new parts :
Motherboard Asrock z790 sonic
Gpu XFX 7900xtx
Nvme : kingston fury renegade
Bios version : 2.06

Stress tested everything and works perfectly fine. But as you can see from the video it just sits on the VGA led for a while. Also the fans spin really fast until we get to the asork splash screen. Not sure if this is normal etc but its a new build so just really want to know if something is wrong
Thanks

This is normal behavior, the more hardware is connected, the longer the boot process will take.
But lets be honest, how many times a day, do you start your system.
Is it really that big of an issue.
I have seen comments like this many times, and only when all day long You just power on the system, shutdown, and power on again, it would make a huge difference.
More important is, if the system runs stable, ir yes, don't bother to get the boot time down, it's a waste of time
