Cut down boot delay for Kingbank Yin Jue DDR4 3600?
Man, every time I launched the game, I had to sit there staring at the motherboard logo for 20 seconds. It was an absolute test of patience. I analyzed the boot logs and found that the Kingbank Yin Jue DDR4 3600 XMP training was re-validating timings on every cold boot, which is just overkill. I tried enabling 'Fast Boot' in Windows, but that's just a facade—the actual time to reach the map didn't change at all, which was pretty laughable. I went deep into the BIOS, switched the memory training mode to 'Fast Boot', and disabled every unnecessary SATA port and redundant USB header. My boot time dropped from 28 seconds to a snappy 13 seconds. I did accidentally kill my external drive's connection during the process, but I sorted that out by re-enabling specific USB power delivery. The VRM temps are sitting at 40-46℃. I exported the boot logs to confirm the timing, and it's finally sorted.
