I'm currently converting a video with Handbrake and my virtual machine has slowed to a crawl... The has been converting for 2.5 hours and ETA to end is about another hour... I look forward to the extra two cores. Lol

Yes, that should take you all the way down to just 2.75 hours or so......

Well, hey, here's a convenient little shell script. What it does is run and get the temps every 5 seconds. I have another one that just writes the output to a log (sh gpu2.sh >> log.txt). You can run the script individually by changing the parameter after the while to any number of seconds you wish. Currently it's set to 5, but it could be set to 1,25, 250, or whatever. May be helpful for some....

I'm not a programmer (its not my script, I just downloaded it and customized it a bit), so I'm sure it could be improved. I run it by just doing a "sh gpu2.sh" (without the quotes) in terminal.

You can use the Emulated NVRAM uninstaller:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/clover-emulated-nvram-uninstaller.368/

Then grab the latest Clover boot loader installer from SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/files/

Pay attention to what is installed by the Clover installer.

I am guessing that the Emulated NVRAM uninstaller AND the Clover v4741 are done without a reboot in-between or is there a reboot in-between?

Use your old config.plist. Use your old kexts. Make sure you don't have duplicate kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ and /Library/Extensions/.

Thabks for the extensions tip! I had copied the kexts and config. Removed duplicates. Now when I try to boot mac os it just very slowly goes to 100% mac os progress bar ...hangs at 100 and then just restarts ; ( and the boot backup that I made shows an / half way through the loading progress (it did that for the last two weeks)

Not a good week

Where would the shell script be placed?

Just put it in the top or highest level of your user directory. That's what I've done, and it works for me.

You don't need to reboot.

Please post your EFI folder.
