I've heard you can modify the X58 3X SLI CLASIFIED motherboard to work with a Xeon CPU. Would anybody be able to tell me if they've had any success, or destroyed their mobos with this before I start soldering?
 
Thanks in advance.

    Is your board still under warranty (It should have a lifetime warranty)? If so, I would contact Evga about it and get them to do the mods for you.
    If it's not under warranty, here are the two spots where you need to solder:
    (Same spots for the E759, E760 & E762)
     
    Above the cpu socket:

     
    Top-right of the northbridge:

    Westmere-EP cpu's should work after doing these mods.

    My board is second hand so I'm not sure if the warranty transfers over, but the images make it look so easy that I think I might not even bother sending it off. Instead I think I'll probably just spend 20 minuets doing it myself.
     
    Thanks heaps!

    Curious as well... hope he knows he doesn't need the mod with an e770 and he just needs a bios update.
