I've already tried to disable all fan control options and have added each device one by one and seen if it has some sort of effect on the POST speed . The only thing that increases the POST speed is when overclocking (and it does so dramatically). Even by just manually setting my RAM timings to 4-4-4-12 (which is the speed they are supposed to run at). Without overclocking anything else, or changing any other settings - that will lead to slow POST.
