Hey guys, I just want to share what I have done to my board for the past week.  It has been a hectic 2 weeks putting in my watercooling setup and my phase change retention system.  But what I think most of you want to know is to mod a motherboard without ruining your warranty. 

When people say volt modding, people think it is un-safe and they will think of warranty if anything goes wrong.  Well there are pencil mods, where you add resistance but drawing lines - which is not very reliable.  And then there is a tool called grabbers.

In this guide of mine, you will need these things:
- Digital Multimeter

- Pomona MiniPincer and Micrograbber

- A molex connector (preferable female  sweat.gif )

- 2 x 20K pots/variable resistors

- Soldering Iron 15W or 30W, wire cutter and a wet sponge

- Hot Glue gun

- some wires(preferable colored - black and some other bright colors)
- a steady hand
- and of course a board as your victim

Keep in mind not all VMODS can be done with grabbers.  Some of them don't leave u any choice but to solder them to the board, voiding warranty.  So make sure you know what is required for your mod.

Now on to the next post.........
