I am looking to build a Linux gaming machine with open source firmware and Intel ME disabled. Is this viable?

While many comments here are correct that it would affect less than you'd expect, there are things that may not be covered.

For example:

  • there's no setting for hyperthreading
  • no way to disable SATA drives, in case you'd like to be selective
  • you'll need to reflash the BIOS if you want to change boot order permanently

Also, make sure you have the correct video BIOS.
