Do Ryzen chipsets have slower post times?
Hey there, I see you're looking to upgrade your SATA SSD and are curious about how it affects boot times. It's true that your current system boots in about 3.5 seconds, which is pretty standard. The slowest part seems to be the post-boot phase that takes around 12 seconds. I found out that AMD systems often have longer post times compared to Intel, which usually finish in under five seconds. This might be why you're noticing it more with your current setup. It's not uncommon for AMD boards to have slower boot options, especially with models like the B450. Your Ryzen CPU might also play a role, but it's not the main factor here. Keep exploring and let me know what you discover!
I went through the same upgrade from z370 8600K to B450 3700X using the same SSD. My Ryzen boot times seem to have nearly doubled. It’s not a big deal for me since it still takes under 20 seconds from turning on to launching the OS. But I definitely noticed something unusual at first.
I upgraded from an i7 4770 to an R5 3600, but I haven’t seen any slower startup times yet—I’ve never timed it before.
You're on a 1600 and possibly the latest BIOS. The chipset drivers should work fine since they're part of the OS, not the hardware itself. Using Linux means the chipset drivers are in the kernel, which shouldn't interfere with BIOS updates. I'm not sure how things work exactly in this setup, but the long wait times used to happen with older software like MichaelSoft.
