Asus Rog Maximus Z690 Hero BIOS setting greatly affecting game load times

[rattosama]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

Upon trying to find the optimal settings with the MOBO mentioned in the subject, that wont degrade my CPU, I experienced that by using some combination of settings (related to core clocks/voltages/PL1/PL2 limits), there were occassionally boosted load times with Windows boot and game startup/level load. I mean they loaded MUCH faster (around 5 times faster) than with the Intel  Extreme&Intel FailSafe profiles and the majority of custom combinations I use.

Does someone know which setting boosts the PCIe transfers so greatly?

CPU: 14900k

RAM: DDR5 6600 XMP1 always ON

Windows ->  PCIe 3.0 drive

Games -> PCIe 4.0 drive

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello, @rattosama 

Thank you for initiating this discussion.
If you want to shorten the boot period by altering BIOS settings, we recommend sharing more details on the current BIOS version, the entire model and specs of your RAM, and the installation slots.
I've relocated this discussion topic to the "Overclocking & Tweaking" section in order to get more relevant comments to your query.
Also, if you prefer, I may transfer this conversation to the "Intel 700 and 600 Series" section.

Thank you.
