Always wanted to have one of those interposer boards for motherboards that can only supply 5V Vcc to the CPU. Spent whole weekend assembling it from parts that can be bought basically at any electronics store and it eventually paid off. Though, I would not want to repeat same experience for the second time, nor I would recommend anyone to follow my example (unless you are into masochism). No PCB designing, etching, etc. were needed, just had to widen pin holes with a drill.
Soldering properly that Vcc wire was pain in the ass, probably the hardest part of all.
I'm currently using external power source (5V) from molex, If everything will be OKAY and it'll pass stability test, then i'll add power from the extra row of socket 3. So far, 4DPS posts, no deeper tests were done.
