You really put me in the mood of vmoding all my components now!

Amazing Job!

awsome mate i was searching for lots of info on this an solved most of my doubts i'll keep reading

cant thank you enough, just started my voltmodding quests and must say really good guide :D

whoa, that was a lot of work, thnx a lot. i'm looking to start my first project and this helped me a big step forward :D :woot:

No P ..

how would you solder something such as a variable resistor in or something to that nature? jw. I've looked through the guide before sry if I missed it now.

because supposedly the pencil mod for the X1900gt rev2 only works for around 2 mins before the graphite either comes off or something.

Very nice guide.

I just noticed this, awesome work Thrilla! :)

Thanks a lot m8 just burned a hole in my motherboard......only kidding, very nice guide

kick ass thrilla, tought me a few new tricks ;) Liking the site now!

Super guide, Thnx :) my soldering was a bit outdated :)

Very nice guide Thrilla. This is just what I needed to find before starting to do Vmods :up:

Great write-ups and pictures, thank you :)!

this is a good guide!

Nice guide! Usefull info...

When soldering a hole mount I would stick the legs of the component through the holes and then bend the legs a little, so the component doesn't fall out.

That's the only thing that came to my mind, your guide pretty much covers it all :toast:

Good guide, and good read.

Me and my Weller WR 3M loved it very much :)
