Just built a new system with the following specs. Boot times are very slow. Loaded latest bios and it take ~43 seconds to boot to windows logon screen.

System specs:
Motherboard
• MSI PRO X670-P WiFi ProSeries Motherboard (AMD AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Wi-Fi 6E, HDMI/DP, ATX)
CPU
• AMD Ryzen™ 7 7700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor
RAM
• CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5600 (PC5-44800) C36 1.25V - Black
SSD
• SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD with Heatsink 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Heat Control, Max Speed, PS5 Compatible, MZ-V8P1T0CW
GPU
• ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 V2 OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card ROG-STRIX-RTX3070-O8G-V2-GAMING (LHR)

Look like it's a common problem on X670 platform, and right after clearing CMOS, it can take up to mins to boot properly :mad: I do hope future AGESA code can improve that though

I don't know why people fall over each other trying to grab Rev 1 boards. It's like buying a Rev 1 console, there's GOING TO BE KINKS, no matter how much testing was done, because it's impossible to replicate what each end-user is going to do/has done.

Sorry, but that's bs. Yes there are going to be kinks, but this doesn't qualify as a 'kink' anymore. Everybody is experiencing (very) long boot times on a daily base, no matter which brand of motherboard they are buying. No matter what their config is (basic to complicated). EXPO wasn't tested very well & people are playing beta tester on hardware they spent a fair amount of money on, just because AMD rushed their new chips. On top of that, new buyers won't easily find info on this issue because it is regarded as being 'normal' by people who think it's ok that Rev 1 hardware will have its quirks. It is NOT. Big companies need to get their sh*t together. Strange that Intel isn't experiencing this with their new 13th gen cpu's and boards..:rolleyes:

I have always build and used AMD systems, but this is exactly why i'm waiting to upgrade my system to a 7900X. And if it takes AMD as long as it did with AM4 to work this out, I might just switch to Intel. After all this years they still haven't figured out that they need to match Intel when it comes to soft- and firmware stability.

I'll just leave this here : Reddit 7000-series boot speeds

Fair enough, I was just saying I wouldn't have even given this upgrade (AM4>AM5) a second thought for at least 6 months. But that's just me. When AMD does fix it MSI does come in pretty fast and hot with the patches, so I don't blame them. I still would have waited though.

I took one look at the price and went no not for a bit plus only one MSI AM5 Board suits my usage, and that is the Carbon X670E as it allows Raid with all Six SATA ports All the rest only allow for Four of the Six to be in a RAID

I have the X670 Ace with a 7950X G Skill RAM at 6000 Mhz. Takes roughly about 40 seconds to boot. So perfectly normal, I'm just used to it after a month now. Hopefully BIOS updates in the future will speed it up.

I have enabled "memory context restore" takes around 2 seconds like on previous generations.

And all it took you was to enable Memory Context Restore and Enable Power Down ? Maybe you can share your BIOS settings, might help out a few people :biggthumbsup:

The only changes I make to my BIOs are to disable the integrated graphics, enable EXPO, memory context restore set to enabled, manual VPP voltage to 1.8v and SOC voltage to 1.2v and thats it. What M.2 drive do you have, perhaps that is a factor?

I just have ten internal SSD and two External SSD So not likely to be breaking any speed records plus I'm in Raid Mode
