I recently upgraded my motherboard from an ASUS ROG Strix B550-A to an ASRock B850 Steel Legend WiFi, along with changing my RAM from Corsair Vengeance to G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Neo Series DDR5. I also upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 9 5900x to a Ryzen 7 7800x3D. My BIOS boot time has increased significantly from about 12.5 seconds to 25.9 seconds, which seems excessive. The only thing set to start up is the "securityhealthsystray". Does anyone have tips on how to reduce my boot time? Even cutting it down by a few seconds would be great!

The longer boot time could be due to RAM training, which usually happens once. Sometimes BIOS settings might not be compatible, causing it to try incorrect settings before reverting to defaults. Have you reinstalled Windows after making these upgrades?
It's likely due to the DDR5 memory training. Check your memory context restore settings in the BIOS; enabling that might help speed things up a bit.
Make sure to enable memory context restore in the BIOS. This is a common issue with AM5 setups and the longer boot times you've noticed may be because of the new DDR5 RAM.
