Replace motherboard on a working Sierra installation.

I managed to fry my Gigabyte (B85, ALC892, Realtek LAN) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5013#sp

My system was running Sierra with Clover. A truly rock steady system. I am waiting for a replacement of my Mobo. Since the store I bought it doesn't sell it anymore I have the following options:

ASRock Z97 Anniversary Edition (Z97, ALC887, Intel LAN) http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Anniversary/?cat=Specifications

Gigabyte GA Z97P-D3 (Z97, ALC887, Realtek LAN) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5361#sp

 

If I would like to add a little money I could climb to:

ASRock Z97 PRO4 (Z97, ALC892, Intel LAN) http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Pro4/?cat=Specifications

 

I want to keep my current installation. So my question is if there is a way to safe boot to my new system and then change whatever necessary so that my hackintosh boots again with my new motherboard?

 

Thanks.

 

P.S. My CPU is Intel i5. I don't have a graphics card.

i think yes. remove dsdt, ssdts or use drop tables in Clover boot options.

 

Thanks. You mean doing that by booting in safe mode first, right? By the way, I hadn't patched DSDT since my system was steady and I didn't had the time to fully study the Clover wiki. Does that make things easier or is it irrelevant?
