Followed this guide - everything works great thank you so much. Only thing I did not do was "9- Fine Tune, DSDT" But I have a i7 6700k, z170mx gaming 5 gigabyte motherboard, 980Ti, and sleeps, and powers off without any issues and no noticeable problems at the moment, is this a required step I should revisit?
