You can speed up the BIOS POST times by going in to the BIOS and on: Advanced > Onboard Devices Configuration and then disabling any unneeded things.
I have these things disabled:
Azalia HD audio
bluetooth
ASM1061 Storage.

"ASM1061 Storage" will stop the two extra SATA ports from working, and only the six intel chipset SATA ports will work. Not sure if this affects the code cycling but once the monitor finally turns on and displays the ROG screen that part will go quicker.

Speaking of the bluetooth, has anyone found a way to make it work during posting? At the moment I'm using my old Logitech keyboard with a USB dongle. Without the dongle I'm only able to use the keyboard within Windows and with the dongle, it works during post enabling me access to the Bios Just seem strange it doesn't work prior to starting windows. :s

Init is skipped here, to save time and prevent long waits or timeout occurences with BT. if its really needed then an option may be made to select 'enable BT init'

OK.. Where this option? I don't see it anywhere. Maybe I'm just blind. ><
