lol, all of my soldiers are clean. But yeah, im done with the mod, got a 1gb 4870 (189.00 on newegg) instead of the headache. I figured the price of all the tools i needed to get the mod to work was too expensive for the gains that i got (almost $80 in tools/solder) so i returned all the tools. I see that you (natedog420) only overclocked your core to 700mhz (i understand why) to get your system stable, which converts to about 1.75 per 1mhz gain- i couldnt justify the expense for that kinda gain. Not talking down to you guys or anything, i love to see mods like this, but for me it just didnt work out. Best to luck to all you guys and your gpus.
