My current daily use system is a
Motherboard - Maximus X Apex
CPU - 8700K, 5.3 binned/delidded CPU from purchased from Silicon Lottery (CPU quality makes all the difference)
RAM - Gskill Trident Z 2X8GB 4226 - this turned out to be my best overclocking ram kit, I can get it 4400 stable 4500 not so stable (using Raja's 4133 @ 1.4 volt preset with a couple timings thightened a little)
Drives - Intel pcie drives 900p for OS, 750, Samsung 960 Pro on DIMM.2 card, 850 EVO, OS backup, 4TB spinner
Video Card - EVGA 1080 FTW - converted to AIO - very quite (pcie 3.0X8 because I have my 900p in second slot)
Cooling - Corsair H150i, multiple fans (was using H115i but pump was getting week after a couple of years use)
Case - Corsair AIR 740 (I like this case< big enough for big motherboards but not to large for desktop)
I use AIDA OSD to monitor my system in real time all the time, just my preference
I am going to upload my UEFI (bios) settings that I run daily, PC runs cool and quite and very fast with these settings
The first thing I do in bios after first boot up is hit F5,save, make changes in bios that will remain the same at default speed or overclocked, like boot settings, fan settings, etc. save this so I can always boot to bios and hit that preset to get back to my starting point. Then overclock, test make fine adjustments and save as a profile.
Other Z370 boards will not have all the bios settings as the Apex but many will be the same
My 5.2 - 5.0 - 4226 adaptive voltage settings, if you have any questions about settings please ask, if I set something incorrect please speak up

I hope these screens look OK and make some kind of since
My memory timings, basically Raja's excellent preset with just a couple settings tightened, only because I seem to have a decent IMC and very good mem kit
Different model boards may or may not have memory presets, and the TOP end boards have more presets than lower grade boards, one of the reasons I always purchase ROG boards
These settings may not work for most people, I spent a good amount on this top binned 8600K, a very good CPU makes all the difference in the world
Yes I don't always use ASUS software

All pics are jpeg and visible on my end
I don't think I have an issue disabling Speed Step, never tried as I just don't think that is necessary, I disable Speed Shift because I believe it's more of a Notebook thing and just not necessary on a desktop, and I believe one of the reasons everyone says the CPU frequency is all over the place.
No motherboard can secure erase an NVME drive that I'm aware of at this time but would be a nice feature.
I never said my bios is set up better than anyone else's, it's just how I prefer, and I could have some settings incorrect, or could be better
OK you got my curiosity up. No issue disabling Speed Steep, why would you want to?
Speed Step Disabled - multiplier won't drop below 37
Speed Step and Turbo disabled - multiplier locked at 37
Is it supposed to work different?

Leave it as on the first screenshot and check:
The result, the EIST does not turn off.

It may show that the CPU has that feature but it reacted to disabling it as I stated so I guess I just don't understand what your point is.
