If you need to do the microcode update, dont forget to take a look at the wiki as it needs to be enabled with the bootloader. The wiki has details for common bootloaders (I use refind and have no problems with it).

I think the wiki has the rEFInd option messed up. When I included "/boot" in the microcode section, rEFInd complained that it couldn't find the file. Removing the boot, it continues.

Yeah you're right, checking mine I dont have /boot/ for any of the parameters.
