ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-I Gaming WiFi Motherboard Review

Boot Time

So as I mentioned, benchmarks are for the most part pretty useless, especially when all boards on the same platform, using the same CPU, GPU and memory, perform within a range of each other with the only benchmark that we did that actually shows something being the boot time as this really is board specific, especially with the way they work with DDR5 through the memory training they have to do.

The more features a board has the longer it tends to take to boot, and it’s fair to say this one is pretty packed, so it’s not too surprising to see it being a slow booter, along with a few other ASUS boards for that matter.
