Voltmodding Newbie

[Casheti]

Well, i have a site for a voltmod on an X1300 ( http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/...g/voltmods/133 ), but I don't have a clue about voltmodding. First of all, what does it do? Second, who does it (or who can do it proffessionaly)? And third, is it dangerous for the card?

If you have good soldering skills then modding a videocard should be no problem for you. What does it do, simply its used to increases voltages for GPU and VMEM so you can overclock it to higher performance. Voltmodding can be done by anyone with good enough soldering skills (pencil mods in my opinion are not good). As for dangerous yes it is, actually it is very dangerous if you dont have a proper cooling.

Im not too confident.

And what the f**k is a pencil mod? Does it by any chance involve just using a pencil?
