May 29, 201511 yr If you want to see how HPET influence your PC just use DPC Latency Checker, it should be a flat reading without spikes, if you see spikes that's what is giving you stutters in your games. Test this with HPET ON and OFF and see what option is giving you the most flattest reading! *-you should see some random spikes when you open a browser or running a game, but for the most part it should be a flat reading. By way of a data point, I tried this tool with HPET both enabled and disabled in my BIOS (Was always off in my Windows 7 environment) and generated a result extremely similar to this one regardless of my BIOS setting. I guess that is to be expected since I didn't really notice any difference in FSX either. Was hoping for a magic bullet! Oh well!

May 29, 201511 yr In some assus motherboards the HPET have different name and for some reason it is named PCH Configuration. When you get in to the configuration menu there you will see high precision timer enable/ disable and in explanation part of the screen you can read that this is configuration menu for High Precision Event Timer HPET=PCH in asus maximus IV extrime

It controls Data Paths and Functions in relation to the CPU AFAIK. In the ASUS BIOS, HPET is located in the PCH section. Ric Elmore
June 5, 201511 yr I have the underlying technical knowledge to evaluate it and classify it as such. Jim I thought the only trolls around your age actually lived under bridges.. No offense btw! I just think if people don't agree with something there are nicer ways of putting that across. Ok so either it doesn't work for you, or you just can't be bothered doing it. Fair enough, but let the people who want to have a crack at it do so without being a condescending little you know what about it! At first this post was a bunch of guys having a technical discussion about something and it turned into a high school argument. On a personal note, I've just switched my BIOS setting to 64 and left it off in Windows. Will report any radical changes I find. And keep the geek flag flying high folks! It's people like you that push the boundaries we so dearly seem to cling to! B) Intel Core i7-6700k CPU Overclocked to 4.50GHz - 16GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce GTX980ti 6GB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit
