Z77X UD5H motherboard replacement question (SOLVED) !!

hi guys,

I built my hackintosh a few months back and all was running rock solid until I got unlucky and my motherboard died (z77x ud5h). I am getting a replacement board (same as before) today.

Just wanted to know whether I would have to do a clean install? I have 2ssd's running mac 10.8.3 and windows 7 respectively.

I do remember all the bios settings - but would it boot up without issues? Or would I have to manually do something to make my old install work? Just confused since I had a dual boot setup? What would be the best way to get my old install running? and is it advisable?

Any advice would be useful

Thought I'll reply to my own question since it may be helpful for someone else.

I simply changed all the bios settings to what they were before (before plugging in my hard drives on first boot) - using this guide posted for Gigabyte socket 1155 motherboards.

Didn't have to change anything else, and once I reconnected all my drives the machine booted straight into my dual boot setup.

I am pretty sure this would also apply to any other motherboard replacement - so long as the board is same.



My setup:
GA Z77X UD5H
i7 3770k
AKASA CPU COOLER
EVGA GTX 770 SC
32 GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE
FIREWIRE 800 CARD
750W DARK POWER PRO PSU
2 X CORSAIR 480GB SSD'S
2 X 3TB SEAGATE HDD'S
