    I've had my 9550 for a few days now and love it so far.
    The boot time isn't as quick as I thought it would be for a i7/16gb/512gb/fhd model.

    Does anyone have any tips for faster boot ups? Apart from disabling startup programs.
    Any bios settings or options in Windows?

    Regards
    Chris

    How long is the boot time? You could check to see that fast boot is on in the bios. It shouldn't be taking more than around 10 seconds to boot.

    It's taking around 25-30 seconds.
    Just tried turning on fast boot and still no difference :-(

    Bios loading is dog slow on DDR4 chipsets so you may find more than half your boot is the BIOS?
