Be advised, if you are using an i7 or other HyperThreading Skylake or Kaby Lake processor, you will need to update to your motherboard to the latest BIOS version. (It's a good idea to always update your BIOS to correct undocumented bugs.) According to the above article, all Intel motherboard manufacturers were required up provided updated BIOS with processor microcode fixes.From what I read at one of the tech sites was that all MB manufacturers April updates included the hyper thread fix. Just asking and I don't know.

Updating to the latest BIOS may "break" NVRAM memory over reboots on some motherboards. Thanks to macbookair, here's a test to see if your motherboard keeps NVRAM over a reboot:
If this test fails to show "MyVar" is "TestValue", then NVRAM is not saved across reboots. To correct this problem see slim.jim's guide's Problem/Solution #6, or use MultiBeast v9.1 with just selecting the following selection, install and reboot:...[a] command to test nvram, in Terminal type:
You will see:Code:sudo nvram MyVar=TestValue Then type this to show the current NVRAM: nvram -p
MyVar TestValue
After rebooting, type nvram –p in Terminal, and, if you can still see the previous result, then your NVRAM is working...
Bootloaders > Clover v2.4k r4063 UEFI Boot Mode + Emulated NVRAM
If you have a question on the above procedure, please open a new thread in either slim.jim's thread or the BIOS/UEFI forum section.
