I had this same problem with out-of-control boot entries.
System:
Gigabyte Z170MX Gaming 5
i7 6700K @4GHz
32gb RAM (Crucial Ballistic Elite)
Storage:
500gb SSD (Sierra + Clover EFI) [for work]
500gb SSD (Windows 10) [for games]
4tb HDD (Storage in Sierra)
2tb HDD (Time Machine backups)
Solution:
Updated mobo firmware to version F5e. No more multiple boot entries after several boots to Sierra and Windows. Clean as a whistle in both BIOS and Clover Shell. I took no other steps.
Notes/issues:
No problems with my internal Time Machine backup thus far. Have only run one backup since though so we'll see after a few restarts etc today.
Now to remove the extra windows boot options (legacy etc) from the Clover GUI!

Notes/issues:
- I avoided F20 (latest) firmware because I read that others had big issues with this and Sierra and reversion is impossible. Is anyone running my mobo with F20 without issue?
- Enabling XMP Profile with new firmware now causes consistent boot failure (before reaching Clover). I've read others with my mobo have had this problem with F5e. I think I'm going to have to put up with RAM running at 2400 rather than 2666 for now. Not sure there's that much of a performance benefit there anyway.
Is ANYBODY using an internal drive as a Time Machine backup of the boot partition? If so, are you still experiencing multiple boot entries after having followed the steps here to fix the problem? IOW, after fixing the issue, is it OK to use an internal drive as a Time Machine target for backing up the OSX partition?
