I went from a 4670k to the 5930k and my boot times increased by over 1 minute. I assumed they would be longer because more cores need to be checked and initialized, but that is quite the jump. Is this normal?

edit: I realize it could be motherboard as well.

4670k to a 5930k? So you changed motherboards. Are you using the same OS? If so its likely a driver issue, I doubt x99 is going to be using the same drivers as what you had before. Reinstall the OS, your lucky it boots at all this could cause all kinds of issues from performance to blue screening.

I definitely reinstalled right after putting the new parts in. I even put my older parts in a build with all around worse parts and it still boots a lot faster.

What is the total boot time? Are you using an SSD? If x99 does boot slower than say z97 then it would probably be no more than a second difference certainly not a minute even my aging AMD rig boots up in 20 seconds or less. Im thinking something in your bios is set up wrong. Any issues after it boots? How is performance?

Total boot time is roughly 1 minute, 19 seconds compared to the ~10 seconds with the other CPU.

I am booting off of an SSD. What's even weirder is I am booting off of a 950 Pro on my X99 PC, an 850 Evo on the z97. (I had the z97 booting of the 950 Pro before and it was faster so it isn't the 950 Pro)

After it boots everything runs fine. I have not encountered any issues yet other than occasionally a pop up appears saying that a USB device was disconnected when it wasn't. (It did the same thing with the other board. I think it actually may be an issue with my case)
