Windows 10: High precision event timer

I read that disabling high precision event timer in bios and windows can improve games fps, input/output, micro stuttering and dpc latency (nvidia cards) . I disabled mine in windows, only slight improvements. I further disabled it in bios, still monitoring the result. Any opinions on this ?

HOW do I turn off High Precision Event Timer ??

It's exactly as it sounds. A high precision event timer. It's supposed to be more reliable than programmable timers and the real time clock. It's basically dedicated hardware for hardware interrupt timers with a high level of precision and accuracy.

I also just looked through the manual for the Sabertooth 55i and there is no mension of the HPET. Maybe the board forces it to be on, in which case you're out of luck.

Why do you need to disable HPET anyways? It's best to keep it on.

Just go to Device manager and expand the "System Devices" section. Look for High Precision Event Timer. Right click on it and click disable.. It should do the job.
