Well, back in December MSI released a beta BIOS for my X99A SLI Krait Edition board, that apparently fixes enough of the microcode to let 1809 install with HT enabled and no BSOD's... would rather not risk it borking my main (and basically only) system.

FYI once the microcode on the CPU is updated it won't revert back, so you could load the new BIOS on and have it update the CPU then drop the BIOS back down to a more stable version. Result would be CPU with up to date microcode and a BIOS version you trust.

Make a system backup before install the update. 

 

Macrium Free or AOMEI free backupper is handy.
