Is DEL even the right key to press on your mobo?

Is there some kind of thing that caches the POST results when you simply restart the computer with the Sabertooth? If I have to reboot for whatever reason the "hit del now" picture is only there for about a tenth of a second instead of the 3-4 seconds it is there when I cold coot. Asking because we have the same motherboard
It's pretty obvious that most people missed this, but:
a. This has nothing to do with SSDs.
b. But Asus' Z77 UEFI boots ridiculously fast.
I've had three different computers from Asus from their Z77 lineup (third being another Sabertooth Z77 that I've been techsupporting on for a friend), and only one of them didn't load up faster than I could sneeze (the one I'm techsupporting, which was probably just because the RAM was misbehaving).
Drunkenvalley/Notarget, mind filming the bootup of your boards? I'm intrigued to see just how long it actually takes to log into Windows from a cold boot.

Restart from desktop
Cold boot
Shitty camera work I know.
Galaxy SII held with one hand. Durp.
And GTX 680 Lightning you're hearing. Drivers seem to behave oddly with the card's fans.

To be more clear, I went downstairs to videotape the machine I'm techsupporting atm. Rather than reboot my own machine.
Regardless of sound levels though, rebooting in under 25 seconds is pretty awesome. When I was going through the installations of drivers and whatnot back in April it would reboot to the desktop in 15 seconds!
I could probably shave 3 seconds off the shutdown time by not using skype though.
edit:
Pressed the "on" button about 5 seconds after the video startedWow Butler, talk about LONG post!
If somebody breaks into the house and gets into my bedroom to take my pc, I have slightly bigger worries than him being able to start the pc.And you should password protect your computer!
