Why is the Fanxiang S910Max taking so long to boot in Unknown 9?
Man, every time I launched the game, I'd be staring at the motherboard logo for 20 seconds—it was a total test of my patience. Analysis showed that the Fanxiang S910Max PCIe 5.0 controller rescans every single channel during a cold boot, making the POST time ridiculously long. I tried enabling Fast Boot in Windows, but that was just a band-aid; the actual loading time didn't budge, which felt like a joke. I finally dove into the deep BIOS settings, forced the boot order to NVMe first, and disabled all unnecessary SATA ports and redundant USB 3.1 headers. Looking at the boot logs, the time from power-on to desktop dropped from 28 seconds to 12 seconds. I actually broke my external sound card after the first round of disabling ports, but I got it back by enabling specific PCIe power in BIOS. The drive now runs at 38-44℃, and the system is rock solid. I exported the boot logs, and my fan speeds are now humming along at 1400-1600RPM.
