Is this board ATX or CEB?

Pro/SE is ATX. The Sage version is CEB. If you're considering buying this and don't use it on a server then disable the baseboard management controller in the BIOS. This will quicken your boot times.

Anybody else have this problem? This board seems to have an incredibly long boot time. It will sit on the splash screen for seemingly time without end. I have the ASUS STRIX X99 board which doesn't do this, which is the older chipset. Any suggestions?

Yes, I have three of these and they all boot up EXTREMELY slow. Like 20 minutes+. Running Windows 10 Pro 64. It seemed to happen until after some Windows update. It did not happen immediately after system build, and it did not happen all the time and now it is 100% every boot up. Fast boot is enabled. Updated to bios 0602 from 0502 and still the same thing. 20 minutes at the Asus splash screen logo. Computer runs great once booted up. Have not had time or energy to call Asus yet. You get an automatic update from Windows while working late and you are SCREWED. Other than this it seems awesome.
