What is your current BIOS version? https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27057/eng/BN_0050_ReleaseNotes.pdf Yes I read the notes. Not sure if the changes make a difference. I have 0046.

Version 47 includes a microcode update to fix a problem with hyperthreading. You want that fix unless you turn hyperthreading off. Usually, I don't update the BIOS unless I am having a problem. You can google for more information about the Skylake/Kaby Lake hyperthreading issue. Got it. Thanks. I'll look into it!
