Yes, but done right can yield awesome results.

If you can't solder/not very good or you know nothing about electronics, I wouldnt even bother touching it :P

Yeah but there is nothing like puting $500 on the line to speed up the learning process haha I killed so much hardware when I first started the overclocking shit

lol i think i might just stay with the normal overclocking, print out this mod and keep it in a drawer. when it comes about time to upgrade, i'll just whip out the conductive pen instead. and who cares if it ****s up then

i'll probably only upgrade it when it falls below the min specs for new games :P
i dont think any one would want to buy it then!

The only hardmod I would go near is a pencil mod since pencil marks are erasable when it comes time to RMA...

Alcohol can clean off the conductive paint.

ink would be fairly easy to lift off wouldn't it? just a bit of turps or kerro or something?
edit: damnit

Dont use turps or kero - they are corrosive. Use metho.
