Asus X670E Gene - slow boot time with 2x48 configuration

PhantomR · Jun 4, 2025

Is anyone else experiencing quite long boot times (tens of seconds until boot logo) on X670E Gene? I am using 2x48GB sticks. Is it possible that my RAM settings could be causing this? For reference, I have memory context restore enabled + power down mode disabled; I read that this combination was causing issues on some boards, but it seems to work.. or maybe CMR doesn’t actually work (even though it says so, and PC does not crash), and this causes the long boot time?)

Also, has anyone with 2x48GB tried the new 3003 or 3104 BIOSes? Do these improve boot times in any way?

I'd say try the newest BIOS and report back first? The 48GB DIMMs are newer after all, aren't they?

@LazyGamer I think they're about a couple of years old by now (EDIT: 64GB DIMMs are new AFAIK, maybe you meant those)

. But you're right, I should try. Maybe I should've mentioned this, but I'd also be happy to hear other people's boot times even on other RAM configurations.

48GB DIMMs are still relatively 'new'; 64GB DIMMs are still in the realm of unobtanium, depending on where you look and what sacrifices you're willing / able to make

(Microcenter and Newegg in the US only list the trashy Crucial / Micron 64GB DIMMs that barely meet JEDEC speeds and timings)
