The post times remain slow even after multiple boot cycles. When memory settings stay enabled, it still takes a long time. It appears posting speeds up if the RAM remains active. There might be specific configurations or hardware types that enable faster updates.
Enable Memory Context Restore in the Advanced settings > AMD CBS > UMC > DDR Options > DDR Memory Features. Some ASUS boards require a BIOS update for this to function, and adjusting the memory nitro mode can reduce training time but may cause instability. Choosing a smaller kit (like 2x16GB) is better if retraining is necessary, as it shortens the training period regardless of the brand.
I attempted the memory context restore about a week ago, but the system would freeze every time it tried to boot. It also kept flashing in the BIOS screen, making it impossible to save the settings. I had to wipe the CMOS to stop it from freezing in the BIOS mode. I have the most recent BIOS update. I’m not sure what the Nitro feature is. Speed appears to matter at 6000. If I set the OC profile (remembering it’s probably something like “AI”) to auto, the PC boots faster than when I enable any DCOP modes. I think my post times with RAM set to auto are less than half of what they are with DCOP enabled.
Yes, ASUS boards also offer a Power Down mode feature that can be activated together with Memory Context Restore.
It's the BIOS settings that manage POST duration. They're listed under Advanced > AMD Overclocking > DDR and Infinity Fabric Frequency/Timings > DDR Options. Activating Nitro Mode and setting the burst length to the shortest possible can theoretically speed up your boot times. Based on other boards, this works because JEDEC standards activate Memory Context Restore correctly. You might want to try a previous update to check if it improves memory context restoration. The newest version isn't always optimal.
