It takes 20 seconds for me to even see the splash screen on my ASUS X-99 Deluxe from a cold boot. Last time I'm ever buying an ASUS motherboard. Seems like this is an issue with the latest motherboards where they take a lot of time to initialize.If you are running Windows 10(64) with a Skylake mobo and cpu can you tell me how long it takes to boot to the desktop when you hit the power button?
I am getting about 25ish seconds uefi boot
My Os drive is on a Samsung 850 pro.

My Alienware 18 laptops takes like 5 seconds to get to the desktop from a cold boot.

Some of us has power bills to pay, my two TV cable boxes (9W and 12-15W) contributes to $170/year. Think of what a PC idling at 30-45W would add yearly.People boot computers still? Mine turns off a few times a year during a power outage maybe.
Oh the Intel SSD just adds even more time to the whole picture. But there is an initial lag of 20-25 seconds.I thought you had already determined that this is due to your Intel 750s? Has nothing to do with Asus themselves.

Ridiculous. Your cable boxes at 24W combined for 24 hours a day all year round is about 30 bucks for me at 14 cents per kWhr. In order for those two cable boxes to cost you $170 a year at 24W non-stop your electric rate has to be 80 cents. I call shens.
2 cents x 24 hours = 48 cents, x 30 days = $14.40 x 12 months = $172.80 in a year. My rates are $0.08/KWh for step 1 ($0.11 step 2), that's not including transfer and usage fees which is $0.17/day.Ridiculous.

You have cheaper rates than I do, so if your boxes are pulling 24W combined there is no way they cost that much per year.
Where is the 2 cents per hour coming from?
24 watts * 24 hours/day = 576 watt hours or 0.576 kWh/day
11 cents/kWh * 0.576 kWh/day = 6.336 cents/day
6.336 cents/day * 365 days/year = 2312.64 cents/year, or $23.13 a year.
You don't include transfer/usage fees in that since you pay that regardless of the cable boxes.
VirtualLarry is probably at least partially right about usage, maybe when running they are pulling more than 24W combined and that 24W is only at idle.
