That said, I am pretty happy that I was able to get UEFI bios working on this board and get 10.13.1 installed. I used UniBeast and MultiBeast to do a clean install. Now if I select the USB it boots normally and does what it is supposed to do. If I select the OSX drive it boots only with the usb present, and even then only intermittently. Most of the time I get to the Apple logo but no progress bar appears. If I have my windows hdd plugged in I never even see the Clover bootloader, Windows just takes over and boots first every time.
 
I was wrong about my windows drive taking over. It won't boot either if Clover is in control. If I unplug the MacOS disk, which eliminates Clover, then my Windows disk boots flawlessly.
