should i disable or enable the power states? i disabled the c6 and c7 report. or should i just disable all the power states.

i have to disable c6 and c7 because my psu isnt compatiable for my 4690k. i just wanna know if i did it right.

so do i disable the c6 and c7 report? or do i just disable all power states?

The other power states are up to you, sometimes they can cause funky issues and other times they work like they're supposed to. Sort of like windows hibernate, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Definitely leave the c6/c7 disabled especially if you're running a psu that isn't made for it as it will cause problems. Trying to come out of the extended sleep state of c6/7, chances are high that you'll need to reboot to wake the psu up.
