How to make boot times faster on Ryzen 7000.

In this video I go over bios settings that will improve your post speed on Ryzen 7000 compatible motherboards. My particular board is the TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI. By default the BIOS will have "Memory Context Restore" set to auto. What this means is that the memory will retrain every time you boot your PC. If you enable this setting your post times will go from 1 minutes down to around 15 seconds. Hope this helps!

Great vid and thanks for the help, reduced from 60 to 20 seconds. A little update to anybody using a Asus rog strix X670E-E; if you make the change that is demonstrated in this video and are then unable to post, this is very likely because the option 'power down enable' (just above memory context restore) is set to auto. So don't panic, your board is fine. But you will now have to use the CMOS button to reset your bios, then enable EXPO again. Let it boot once to make sure everything is okay (takes a good minute or so). Then follow the steps in this video and at the same time, make sure to set the 'power down enable' from auto to enabled and enjoy your new speeds :)

First time I tried this my PC was unable to boot, and I had to do a clear CMOS to resolve the issue. A few days later, I made the decision to replace my XMP Corsair Dominator RAM sticks to the EXPO version equivalent. This adjustment was successful, as my system finally booted with the memory context restore setting without any complications. Notably, this change resulted in a considerable improvement in boot time. Thanks for the video!

Brother, thank you! My ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PPLUS had the same problem with slow loading in EXPO. After following your instructions, the download became fast. Thank you!

With some motherboards, Power Down is not automatically enabled when you enable Memory Context Restore. If you enable the latter, you should make sure you enable the former, especially if you encounter a bsod like I did. In my case, MSI B650 Carbon.

Context restore is in two places in the bios...one is in DRAM Timing towards the bottom, & the other is under the advanced tab, , /amdcbs/umc options/ddr options/ddr memory features/context restore

Worked. Thanks a lot. (b650e-e, 7950x3d, 7900xtx)

Bro💀my boot time has reduced to 4 seconds, appreciate it i was kinnda worried about why it taking so long to post after updating my bios

[treloarw]

At first you said it would reduce it from 1min down to 45 secs and I’m like “well that’s kinda worthless. Then it reduced it to 5 or 10 secs. WIN!
Thanks!

thank you some much! i have the same motherboard TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI with ryzen 7 7800x3d and 2x16gb 6000mhz and this make my post time so much shorter. Thanks for the video

This can destabilize some systems FYI.

[WolfpackDentist]

At 2:26 I misspoke. Your post time should be 15 seconds, not 45.

[hessammehdizadeh]

Thank you so much! After about 6 month of having my new PC, I brought down the whole bios + boot time by roughly one minute.
Motherboard ASUS rog crosshair x670e hero
DDR5-6000 set on 5800 for stability.

dude i have the same motherboard with a 7800x3d and my boot time just went from a minute to less than 20 seconds! thanks a lot

[piotrkordowski]

Thank you!! startup from 59 sec to 8 sec. Cool!!

[darkaheart]

Hellz yeah! This worked on my MSI B650m. It used to take me about 90 seconds to hit the desktop and now down to 35 seconds

[wheeledwanderer]

worked like a charm! R5 7600x+ B650E-E + Gskill 32gb DDR5 6000m/t Cl 30. Thanks!

Thank you very much, tested with my current setup that i recently upgraded which is:

Case: Phantek Eclipse P500 Air Mesh (Black)
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GAMING X TRIO
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12-Core
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz 64GB
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI
Power Supply: ASUS ROG Strix 1000w PSU
Storage1: Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2 PCIe SSD
Storage2: Kingston A2000 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
Storage3: Samsung 870 QVO 2.5'' SSD 4TB

my boot time went from 65-75 seconds to 13-15 seconds! absolutely amazing, it would only boot this fast WITHOUT the AMD expo profile disabled, thank you very much. :) love the simple explanation of it all aswell and visual guidance!

[Ryosiek]

Thanks mate. After following the instructions I've reached 13 sec boot (before I had to wait over a minute)

[gooseuk]

Just be careful reguarding expo at this moment, alot of information about this at the moment and chips killing themselfs and taking the board with it. Asus want you to update to the latests bios which is 1409 for this board.

So I believe this has to do with memory training for AMD systems. AMD motherboards have this enabled by default(usually)to ensure that the the CPU can use the best timing/speeds of the RAM every time the computer has a new boot cycle. Disabling this also disables memory training. While this will speed up the boot time, your system will not be optimized or memory trained on following sequential boots.

Personally I like to leave it enabled to ensure the communication between my CPU and RAM is always optimized. I hit the power button, go grab a cup of water or a snack, and let the memory training do it's thing. I usually only do one or two boots on a given day anyways.

To each their own.
