for those with a e760 you need this point modded also, the other point is located to the right of the NB chip as all the other are. i missed this point and while it booted i was getting strange readings

Hi could you take photos of the mod please on E760 board. Thank you!

not sure what happened to the pics i uploaded but lets try again,
 
just short the pads with some solder, not much is needed. 
 
top location, above cpu

 
lower location, to the right of the x58 chipset, heatsink removal is a must. this says e758 but the e760 is the same
 

I ended up just soldering both points because there was another guide that said to do that for E760. Do I need to move the resistor on E760 V1? 
 
I contacted EVGA support for any guidance on what is correct method for E760 and they were not helpful at all.

you are fine, thats what i did with mine, dont think it makes much difference really

Awesome!  Thanks for your help. Even though I have a 8700K, 1080 Ti setup custom loop etc I still love my X58 platform it's so fun to tweak and overclock on. 
 
I'm really disappointed in EVGA support though they pretty much just told me to go on the forum's to find help lol. Thanks a lot! 
 
Thanks again for your help!

mine is most a backup rig that i do some video work on now, but still runs strong. As for support, i think this board came out when most of them were still in HS lol, its pushing 10yrs now, so the fact they will even talk about it anymore is crazy.

I am new to the board after stumbling on this gem. I was about to upgrade to a ryzen 2600x but am on an extreme budget and really thought it would be awesome to upgrade from my 920 (@ 4ghz) to the x5650 (@ 4+ghz). This is for the sake of gaming. I can get the x5650 for $20 on ebay but have a big question concerning exactly what to do to mod my e760 rev 1.0. I see that you folks are pointing to two sets of solder points that need to be bridged. I am needing clarification as to whether the lower two points just need to be soldered together, or do i use resistors at any point? I can upload a picture of my mb and if you would be willing to simply circle the points that need to be soldered to keep it simple or can you just upload pictures of what you did to both sets on your boards? The diagram image that was uploaded is a little confusing. Any jumpers or resistors used in this mid or just simply bridging the two sets of points?

Thank you very much. I appreciate your time and help.

All you need to do is short these two points with solder. That is all. No resistors, just solder.

So most of these mods that require moving one resister to the next, all you really have to do is short the 2nd one?  You can leave the first in there? Or does it have to be opened?
 
I might finally get to doing this on my x58 sli micro. https://forums.evga.com/x58-sli-micro-E756-westmere-mod-m2381933.aspx
