Ok thank you for this explanation.Clover is a bootloader to load UEFI stuff on your legacy BIOS machine like X58 motherboards. You can use any of these (clover, grub2, duet, refind...)
Clover r5150 version is what we used, you can use any latest clover version using bootdisk utility. Bootdisk utility has options to create clover bootdisk on usb or sata disks with one click.

Windows 11 supports nvme gpt disk drives and see a performance boost in games with some cache options. No more 2tb disk size limits using uefi/gbt papartitions., etc...
usb3, marvell sata, 1394, gbe all works without any extra drivers for gigabyte GA-X58A-OC motherboard Using windows 11.
My gigabyte GA-X58A-OC motherboard supports most of the energy saving options like s1 , s3 states. Sleep mode works always and loads quickly from sleep mode. Where as my other asus ws super computer x58 does not wake up from sleep mode. Rest all features working as expected.
Ismail bios mod is useful for mbr partition only on legacy bios for x58 motherboards, does not support uefi gpt partition. So you have to use separate usb disk based emulated uefi boot loaders like duet,clover, grub2...
I don't like to use usb drive to boot load my windows 11 on nvme gpt partion, so installed clover on sata ssd , so that clover efi bootloader can load windows 11 on gpt nvme disk.
Regarding clover r5150, is it as fast to load UEFI as my duet edk2020 refind in 1-2 seconds max?
Besides, it looks a lot like your bootdisk utility, with an .exe to create a boot disk in 1 click, never tested with a sata ssd.
Regarding my intel, marvell, Gbe, nic, jmicron, 1394, usb3 sata deactivation: no driver problem with LTSC2019 and W10Pro, it's just deactivating in my bios, except USB2 for duet, in order to optimize resources when i switch to my profil1: cpu OC and nvme 970pro.
Personally with my R3E I have no problem waking up and it's extremely fast, maybe related to my mod bios, also available the S1 and S3 power functions.
If I understood correctly, in the end I don't see any real interest in using this bios if I always have to use a boot loader. Eventually to test I could load it on the bios n°2. Moreover, I don't have the skills to inject the device hardware ID of my 970Pro and to remedy this I will need several hours of learning excluding tests, unless I send you my device hardware ID? but I think I understood that this is no longer the philosophy of the forum.
