Just got my new raptor and things does appear to be faster, but boot times still seem kind of slow (5 bars for windows to load). I was just wondering if installing the nforce ide drivers will help with boot times and overall performance. Personally, I've stayed away from these drivers since the nforce2 days and just stuck with the windows drivers. But it's been a while, and maybe they've improved. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
nForce IDE drivers needed?

Shouldnt have much impact on boot times, I dont use them. I would however check your boot order. Check it in the bios and also check your boot device from the post screen.
Id also suggest you run msconfig and see what all is loading. It seems every program you load wants to own your system. Too may check marks makes for a slow boot.
Oh, and dont forget to do a good defrag.
