Yeah, yeah...impress me and beat it lol.

LOL your funny, I would try but it just wouldn't happen.

All jokes aside, this is the most ridiculously fast rig I have ever seen. The 2600K is at only 3.5GHz in this Biostar TH67B+ mb.

**smduff** · 14-02-2011, 20:21

Is that set by you or the board? Crank it up to 5GHz and lets see it work.

That is all the chip will do in the H67 mb. If memory serves me I don't believe an overclock has any bearing on boot times anyway. My second fastest rig was a Sempron 140 sometime back in the 20 second range.

What is all the hoop bu law about boot times. So, if it takes you 16 seconds to boot up and it takes me 45 seconds I just don't understand what you will do with all the time you saved. If you boot your system say two times a day for a week you will have banked about 2 minutes maybe. so that's 8 minutes a month, and close to an hour and a half in a year. OK, now you are banking some serious time for sure.

With an extra hour and a half I could take an extra **** during that year, now you have my attention. I need to work on these boot times, crap I never realized all the possibilities.

With the extra 29 seconds I had I answered the mass email Pam Anderson sent out first where she offered a free ****job to the first responder...

**Deton** · 15-02-2011, 02:30

(What does a installed game have to do with boot times?)

Steam would add to boot time if it is running in background. I think it is hilarious you have nothing installed and keep turning on and off your computer for 3 weeks straight to get an erection!(kidding) good times!
