Hey hey I just purchased my mobo and put everything together and it worked. One catch is that on boot up the POST is taking a very long time. Once I get the mobo splash screen it jumps to windows 10 and destroys the startup which is great.

Timing it takes 25 seconds and up for the post to finish. After that 5 seconds to get into windows desktop. I was playing around in the bios and saw the Xtreme bootup option and enabled it. Sadly on restart it only boots to the bios over and over again until I disable that option. I am watching the debugger for clues and looking at all the bios options but I can't find how to bring that post time down.

Any ideas since you have one would be great, I would be forever in your debt.

P.S. To reiterate the PC once booted up is great and my specs are below.

CPU: i7-7700K

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 SDRAM 3200

Video: ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX OC

HD: SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5

Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H105

Mobo: z270 Gaming K6
