Pencil mods....

[jcmiro]

Been reading about pencil mods to reduce resistance.....Buts how to I measure the resistance if theres no electricity...(Im a noob dont knwo anything about electric stuff) so if I pencil down 20-40 ohms, will the voltage reading in bios go up, would it be an option to increase it or would it bypass bios settings and do bios+lower ohm rsistance..
Stock vmch=stock bios
Option 1: actual vmch=bios setting
Option 2: actual vmch=bios setting + ohm reduction (pencil in a little bit, bios reads 1.5 but actually is 1.55v)
cheers...
confusing but if you try youll get what Im saying.....(you guys have to dumb it down a bit for me!!) lower the iq pts and think like your girlfriend to interpret my question....

If you buy yourself a digital multimeter (pretty much a must-have if you intend to do any hardmodding), it will be able to measure the resistance of any two points. it dosn't need any electricity running in the circuit to measure this, so you can do it while the motherboard is shut off, and safe. Just keep penciling until you reach the desired resistance, then boot up and measure the actual effect. Go in very small resistance steps to be safe.

As for what it does to the BIOS, I am not sure. The BIOS measurement will very probably be accurate, and when you decrease the resistance you will probably end up getting more voltage than what you ask for in the BIOS.
