DLD:

TieSkey>>>Spot on! The general tendency in the contemporary world: small people getting smaller and big brother is getting bigger. Companies show less and less care about customers' needs and demands. Society is being more and more supervised, controlled, directed, instructed on what to do, how to feel... H. David. Thoreau, Jack London, F. Kafka, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell (to name a few) alarmed us in time, but the inherent logic and the dynamics of the development of the civilization are hard to beat.

Oh DLD, if only humanity was a little bit smarter...I always wonder how we got so far...

I disabled CSM after I upgraded from Win7 to Win8.1. I don`t understand about what greed DLD writes.

as far as i am aware i still have that enabled on 6700k build, not sure why though, pretty sure i kept enabled for reason but it not for dual boot support cause i dont do that.

Unfortunately i am that old to remember that setting stuff with switches (i am 41 btw), in fact i have couple of old Pentium 1's now that i am playing with 🙂:) just so i don't forget good old days

Nostalgia... 😎 But you was not able to mod the BIOS yourself. And now you just need proper tools and proper UEFI modules extracted by enthusiasts. The benefits of unification.

Mostly it is about Operating System - fully compatible or not. May be about device drivers too. But main point of CSM is to be able boot in legacy mode (from legacy formatted partitions).

that might be why i left it like that i have boot options for uefi usb stick and usb legacy only thing i can think of as to why i have enabled still, where as my old x58 system it took me 4 years to fiqure out why i could never boot off usb stick less it was fat/fat32

What about dropping IME & AMT?
