I happened to have two motherboards laying around that I got as throw aways with sockets LGA 775. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Core/Q35/C2SBC-Q.cfm links to the first motherboard and the other motherboard is an intel desktop board. I decided to go ahead and attempt the LGA 771 to LGA 775 mod with an intel Xeon x4560 and I went ahead and modded everything and plugged everything together. It did end up booting fans were spinning but for some reason there was no display no matter if i used integrated gpu or an external gpu vga/dvi did not get any signal to my monitor. My assumption is that the xeon is incompatible with the motherboards i am using or I installed something incorrectly. If anyone has any thoughts that could help that would be great.
