My backup image but I may try to boot to see what happens.

When you had yours, did you find that with Power Saving disabled in BIOS, CPU frequency gliding still happened (down to 550MHz at idle, unless you set Power Plan to a minimum CPU usage of say, 50%?. Then the CPU frequency stabilises at around 1GHz during audio play. I have not this this before on other PCs for example, the PIPO X7.

Curiously, my power supply current is rock stable at 0.3 A or thereabouts, whatever the frequency.

I am using it as a NAS not a player. I have not done anything with power settings in the BIOS. When I tried to install an OS the flash card was not available. I have not done too much else with it yet.

    I did not get that deep into it. I did not see the card available so I could not install an OS. I could try creating an image to see if it would boot but it was not a priority for my current use as a NAS.
    
    I normally use my main Synology NAS for music storage but this small one was an easy way to get some low power fanless storage. Not the same but something similar from QNAP is around $400.

    My Intel NUC has a complex "visual bios" with various settings such as you mentioned. This has caused me to lose a two Grub boot loaders after Linux system updates, probably bad bios settings. This was easily fixed, but if it keeps happening I will have to track down the cause as it is annoying to lose my "headless" machine and have to connect up a display and keyboard to recover it.
    
    I gather the UEFI mode is needed for the BIOS to support disks that are larger than 2 TB.
