I wanted to reiterate my question about the max safe voltage for the 285, what I'm wondering is, since voltage basically just increases temperature, would just keeping the temps down be a safeguard against card death, or is running 1.3+ volts damaging in other ways? I'm sorry I'm really uneducated about volt modding and electronics in general.

also, for the pencil mod - what type of pencil should we be using? I have several 2hb pencils
