Hello, im thinking of modding my x58 mb to accomodate a westmere Xeon x5690.
I been reading abit on the forum and found some success stories but i really wanna make sure on know how to do this before i attempt soldering the mb.
 
Could anyone help me with this? like how to officially do it in clear concise steps please?
 
(p.s.: i asked the tech guys at evga and they said they couldnt "recommend" anything about modding, the only thing they can do is to tell me to send the mb there so they mod it for me... but somehow i think with the right info i could pull it off myself)
 
MB descriptions:
EVGA X58 SLI Classified
Part Number: 141-BL-E760-A1
Rev 1.0
Thanks guys!

    These are the pads you need to short for the mod. Use the search bar to save time next time you need information because these pics have already been posted in multiple older threads.

    actually if that works, it would be an amazing option and much simpler than modding or sending back my board, 
     
    great question bill!

    So, anyone around still capable of doing this mod? I want to get my Xeon 6 core working on my E762. It won't post with my 6 core until I can find someone to do this mod. I've reverted back to my older Xeon 4 core for now. Hit me up in PMs and we can negotiate price.

    you have the pics (assuming your e762 is the same as the pic), you should check about for a local shop to do it.
