I am running Yosemite with a i7 4770K, Gigabyte x97 Gaming 5 mobo and a EVGA GTX 970 using Clover. When I first set up this rig, I used iMac 14,2 as my system definition initially, but I changed to 3,1 in order to install the Nvidia web drivers. For a while, I kept the 3,1 definition since everything was running flawlessly. Then I got greedy.
I had read anecdotal comments about greatly improved performance using a more modern system definition, so I changed back to iMac 14,2. Now my Hackintosh spontaneously reboots itself at least once per day. I would like to revert back to 3,1, but I have some concerns about the impact of this change on iMessage and the possible blacklisting of my machine by Apple.
My understanding is that when you make a change to the system definition, you must generate a new serial number compatible with that build, along with a new board serial and RT variables, etc. If this is accurate, that will mean I will have to reauthorize iMessage, Facetime, etc.
This would be the third time that I have changed serial numbers, etc., over the past few weeks and I am very concerned that this will result in Apple blacklisting me for purposes of iMessage or even blacklisting my SmUUID. I have seen references to blacklisting several places, including in this excellent Reddit guide for setting up iMessage:

Any input on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
