Last night there were posts exhibiting such angst and frustration, that I hope this set of pictures showing what seems to be a very stable, (not overclocked), setup that works for me.  My setup is in my signature, and I don't claim to be an expert, and I don't even know what some of the settings in the BIOS are for, but this is what I've got.  I would welcome any comments/suggestions for improvements or perhaps pointing out any grievious errors I may have made here.  It may not work for all versions of the X79 boards or different CPU's, (your mileage may vary), but I hope it will give a starting point to some who feel as lost as I did when I first opened the BIOS setup.
 
I think I've got all the pages covered.  If I've missed one, let me know.
