Overclocking Thread about LGA 771 CPU on LGA 775 Mobo

Man, you are insane like me.

I've been thinking about this several years ago but the pinout vs mechanical keys placement confused me.

This mod is not my original thing, just like what I said at first

Maybe think about something more crazy next time, like 1155 and 1156 EX-mod, just kidding.

You mean - not bad?

[Spectrobozo]

that's pretty good

I had no idea about the existence of this mod.

I mean 'not good enough', I want Bus Speed 650+ on air

THX, now you have found it

I just used other people's achievement and posted in Xtremesystems, maybe better saying is 'Chinese guys are genius'

First post was April 1st....It took you posting for me to take a look.

Kinda fits the "xtreme" description doesn't it.

Great Info, well presented, wytiwx.

I told a buddy who is pretty PC savvy about this today and he said "It ain't FING possible"..
I said "Yea, I would have said that too and we both are wrong!"

Looks at topic: You guys are idiots...
Scrolls: You're serious right?
First screenie: What THE F!
By end of the page: You guys are geniuses!

I admit it you've done something awesome here, just wow

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?

[s0lid]

Well since E5440s are dirt cheap on ebay(uk) I decided to get one to revive one of my GA-EP45-UD3P's for that ^^
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.

Get some 771 Xeon s before rise in price

I have a more crazy idea to mod 478 Socket M/P to LGA775... but that's really really difficult for me

Yep, wish I could make something like this.
