Can I upgrade 2500K to 3770K without reinstalling or loading new kexts etc? El Capitan and Sierra?

Remember to boot without cache with El Capitan. With Sierra its no longer need to boot without cache.

Is there a special command for that to enter in Clover?

Sorry I'm a total noob. I haven't upgraded my system and was on Mavericks until 6 months ago, upon which I got El Capitan!

When you said to boot without cache, does that mean I need to boot with like a bootflag, like for example, PCIRootUID=1?

No. At Clover press space boot and you'll see Boot without cache.

To remove the old SSDT. Use Clover Configurator to mount EFI partition. Go to EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched.

So delete old SSDT.
Turn off machine.
Replace 2500K with 3770K.
Reboot without caches.
Follow your steps from previous post to create new SSDT.
Then reboot?

Is that ok?
