How to speed up slow AMD DDR5 Boot times
Some DDR5 systems take so long to boot into windows due to the system constantly trying to retrain the RAMs timings and that is a real pain, but it can be disabled to make your system boot almost as fast as DDR4 systems with a quick change of a simple BIOS setting.
This video shows the MSI version using the MSI B650 Tomahawk WiFi but should be similar across various manufacturers and platforms.

Instant post on AM 5 here, made two changes:

1. Downgraded the ram using EXPO 1 on my motherboard, it allowed me to choose 5600 instead of 6000. I have seen a few benchies and the performance difference is very negligible.

2. Enabled memory training.

The first time it was a slow post/boot, the second and hereafter it was instantaneous. I am in windows after about 5 seconds of pressing the power button.

You are my new hero !

My system is comprised of Asus ROG Hero X670E, Ryzen 7950x, DDR 5, 6000, 64 gb 4 dims, rtx 4090.

My boot times were 60secs plus, and on expo 1 and 2 errors every 4 boots.

Now my system is booting in 15 sec and you brought me back to 5950x boot times plus no errors

Thank you !

Thank you so much Mike!
Boot time improved from 80-90 seconds to 22 seconds for me.
Subscribed Sir!

You sir are a legend, just followed your video same motherboard 7950X CPU. Went from 70-80 second boot time to 30 seconds. With 64 GBs of RAM too! Holding steady so far!

[terramidiad]

I went from 45s to 9.5 seconds with this setting on my 7950x 64gb, thank you very much.

[UserInstall]

I was at around 2 minutes and 30 seconds to boot to lockscreen now im at 36 seconds. Bless this man.

Actually, if you enable MemoryContextRestore, you have to enable PowerDownEnable also to prevent BSOD.
For Gigabyte board, they enable both MCR and PowerDownEnable by default, which is why Gigabyte board boots faster than Asus and others.

Went from a consistent 73s to 13.5s after enabling MCR on MSI B650M-A WIFI.

Thank you sir!!

I don't know why it took so long for me to find an answer to this problem. I've searched far and long I've tried different settings through BIOS receding my ram multiple times testing the individual sticks. No answers until this video right here. Thank you very much! I've had this issue for just about 2 years now with no resolve until now.

[Aucklander-jc]

Thank you, Mike! I've been struggling with my new build (Ryzen 7950x, TUF Gaming B650-Plus WiFi, 64gb TeamGroup DDR5-6400 ) boot time improved from a min and half to less then 10 sec! it's just mind-blowing.
cheers!

Currently using an x670 Carbon wifi motherboard.
This method lowered my boot up time from 52.8 secondes, to 19.9 Seconds. Thank you!

[VagabondGFG]

Almost a year and MSI still didnt fix this.

[WindAlx]

You're a legend man! Thank you so much! I went from my booting times being 2 mins+ to less than 10 seconds! New suscriber for sure!

[Chromixxxx]

This is legit went from 3 minutes to boot thinking something was seriously wrong with my PC a power issue or a faulty cpu or something but after this it went all the way down to legit 10 seconds to boot amazing thank you lol

[apprajwalkumar]

Thank you, previously the wait time was around 2.5 minutes and after this settings change now the boot time is reduced to 12-15 seconds

Thank you

[uglybob]

I bet that over time this video is referenced a LOT !

[MatheryYT]

Just upgraded to a B650 Edge Wifi, took around 1 minute and 20 seconds to boot before, sometimes longer, sometimes didnt post at all. After your fix, it now loads from completely shut down to Windows in 30 seconds! Still slower than my old AM4 motherboard, though. Remind me to never buy an MSI motherboard again😅

[der_Mou]

Man you helped me out even End 2024 - 1 year later! Coming from over 2 min to just 30sec booting time. Amazing.

Specs:
MSI B650S Wifi
Ryzen 7500f

Changes in BIOS:
EXPO 1
MCR enabled

Thanks!

[machineman]

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks!! My old startup time was 70 seconds, and the new startup Time was 16 seconds!! Tysm!
