the worst thing was when the cutted-off piece fell into the socket - i hardly got that thing out of it!

when i was cutting those 2 little pieces of plastic i was close to getting a heart attack :unsure:

Yes, my motherboard works just fine with X5460, but i need to update bios and wait untill new cooler arrives (the stock intel cooler from E4700 obviously can't handle 120W X5460). I bought the cpu for 220 PLN, wich is like 60 USD so i have no regrets

What do you think about modding socket 775 mobos to work fine with socket 771 Xeon CPU's? Just some thoughts, advice etc.
