Ok, so he cut the pins off the CPU so they will not connect to the mobo? Hummmm, I have a couple Epox 8K7A's that shouldn't read the internal diode. Would it work if I used the back of the mobo instead or are these connections still used for the diode under the CPU in the middle of the socket?

Now if you blocked this connection somehow will the mobo react wierd? Is there any monitoring in the bios that requires a connection from these pins or it will not boot, ect..? If not you could just cut the traces on the mobo, or dremel them out? I am up for destroying some stuff!

Sounds like a very interesting project. Might be cheaper than the die simulator I have in the works and you could test on a actual computer.
