Man, you are insane like me.
I've been thinking about this several years ago but the pinout vs mechanical keys placement confused me.

that's pretty good
I had no idea about the existence of this mod.
When I saw the title I said :This guy is nuts" but after reading through the posts my mindset has changed to this guy is a genius!

Nice work. I've been missing the extreme mod stuff, thanks for bringing the spark back
BTW: Did you end up having to mod the bios and add the CPUID's or did it just work?

Also L5240's are dirt cheap 9USD, 3Ghz, 1333fsb and 40W tdp. And which i also got here
Edit: btw X5272 which is 3.4GHz dualie is 14.90USD on ebay

Excellent Thread. I don't recall when was the last time that I saw something like this being done. I think that it is VERY useful due to the fact that you showed a proof-of-concept that such type of Socket mods can work. There are many CPU families that usually shares the very same die on many different platforms (Server, Desktop, Mobile), so from a BIOS perspective should be supported, assuming that someone figures out how to route the pins and a physical way to attach it to the Socket if it doesn't fit and mount the Heatsink over it.
Nowadays many boards don't need to mod for overclocking, is it a little boring?
I didn't mod the BIOS, just update BIOS to latest version.
But for some 771 Xeon with 45nm and E0 stepping, like X5260 E0 and E5450 E0, maybe need BIOS mod to insert some codes, or you may lose some CPU features like SSE4.1, VT-x.
I have a more crazy idea to mod 478 Socket M/P to LGA775... but that's really really difficult for me

Something like this?
