    Avid recommends turning these off but of course they are only referring to pro tools. Can anybody confirm for a windows 8, K processor gigabyte x79?

    Well some of these issues came up in a thread here last Summer, but the thread as a whole degenerated into a pissing match. If you have the patience to pick through it, you might be able to find what you are looking for.

    I built a new system last summer (see my sig).  The UEFI BIOS is at default (except for fan controls).  Same way with Win 7.

    All that garbage was basically for older motherboards and wasn't really conclusive for all applications anyway but some of the mythology around it all still remains.
     
    Leave it all as is and select a high performance power plan (W7) and let Windows take care of it if you turn that stuff off from the BIOS you'll lose any benefits of Turbo speeds.  Turn off any unwanted device stuff from the BIOS like any onboard audio, superfluous network entries etc, you don't plan to use.  I also make sure any USB stuff is prevented from going to sleep via Windows too.
     
    Aside from setting up my memory manually my BIOS is set to it's high-performance defaults.  I don't want to get into the HPET thing after that last thread other than to say mine is still turned off.
