So, first things first, is to look at boot times because as we all know, X670E and AM5 in general for that matter, isn’t the quickest platform on the market, due to memory training. So with each board set up using the same components, and set to their default BIOS settings, we performed a cold boot on each to see how long it would take to get to the first instance of loading Windows and the results were quite interesting, with the more expensive and feature-packed boards all taking longer than the rest of the stack. The worst board for boot time was the Gigabyte X670E AORUS XTREME at a whopping 51 seconds, followed closely behind by the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X6570E EXTREME at 47 seconds total. As we move further down the list, we can see some quite big jumps into the mid-tier, with the Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER coming in the quickest at just 24 seconds, which is a much more acceptable number in the grand scheme of things.
