Ok so this is strange. I'm running an Asus Maximus Ranger Z97 board with a 4690K and I'm dual booting El Capitan on one SSD & Windows 10 on a seperate SSD. Everything seems to be working fine, I can boot either OS from the clover bootloader without errors or bypass the bootloader entirely with F8 and they both still boot without errors. My only issue (and this isn't really an issue its just severely ****ing with my OCD) is that for some reason whenever I boot from the drive with clover on it, a new duplicate boot entry shows up when I press F8. After a couple restarts my boot priority list ends up looking something like this:

The only way to remove them I've found so far is to unplug the sata cable from the SSD with clover, boot into bios, shut down again and plug it back in. But the process repeats itself.

Can somebody help me it's driving me bat **** crazy

Try the following:

In Clover -> Add Clover boot options for all entries

In Clover -> Start EFI Shell

In EFI Shell -> type these commands

Code: 
bcfg boot dump
This will give you a list of all boot entries.

Delete all entries starting with PCI, do NOT delete those starting with HD, using this command:

If a PCI entry is 02:
Code: 
bcfg boot rm 02
Be aware that boot entry 03 will now be 02.

When you have removed all PCI entries, use the same command until you only have one HD entry pointing to \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI

Boot into OS X, mount your EFI partiton and RENAME the EFI/BOOT folder to something else like BOOT.BAK

Now you should not get any more entries.

My understanding is that this is caused by a bug in the AMI UEFI, which is adding a PCI boot entry every time it sees EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI, but by adding the /EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.EFI (which is the same as the other) and removing EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI, we are circumventing the bug.
