Do you know what the different my C states do? Unless you know what you are doing you are better off leaving the bios alone. None of them effect performance like you are thinking of.

Leave it on the one highlighted. Assuming your psu supports C6.

Higher sleep states allow increased energy efficiency under light loads by enabling the CPU to reach deeper sleep states faster.

The main reason BIOS lets you limit C-states is because some PSUs struggle with the fast large PSU load transients generated by CPUs being able to go from deep-sleep (~0.5W) to full-power (100-130W) in microseconds.
