Quick question for you guys, do these work? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R4.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.X771+.TRS0&_nkw=771+to+775&_sacat=0

Yes the little stickers do work, all you need to do is short two of the pins, but make sure you short the correct two pins.

Yes, they do work, and they have massive performance benefits, like using very high performance 771 cpus on traditional 775 boards. just make sure the pins you short are the right ones or you could risk part damage.

yeah, just make sure you short the right pins. you don't want to accidentally destroy your powerful cpu because you accidentally shorted the wrong pins. also i would use a small piece of double sided tape so that doesn't fall off per se.
