Here are some nice video guides for how to solder if you are looking to do a lil volt modding that I got off i4memory.com posted by eva2000.

Very kool, thx again drnip:toast:

thnx DrNip, I have never done soldering yet so this videos will be really useful for me

WOW talk about dry!!

But interesting and fascinating at the same time :) I've been playing with the idea of volt modding and really glad I found these before I tried it out.

Thanks DrNip

this is weekend entertainment!!! NOT :D

absorbing everydetail :D

HEh heh I was just cleaning up the desk for hte MM and soldering iron for tomorrow. And spent the last 40 minutes watching videos instead :p

Thanks Nip!

Good stuff Nip. Thanks!

OCM :thumbsup:

Thanks for bumpin this OCM.

Great thread.

Soldering is easy with the right tools and practice. Like all things though, a $20 part will not give you million dollar results. there is a reason that professional soldering station... Look cheesy, but cost $500. I can tell you for sure... BIG difference in ease of use.

Just saying that the guys makes it look easy, but is probably using a weller. Not a RS unit.

Tell you what, I'm no electrician. I'm a knuckle draggin submarine mechanic. Killed 4 gpus in the last 2 months trying to vmod. Watching these videos opened my eyes to what I was doing wrong. With a $5 Walmart soldering iron I was able to Vmod my Commando with great success.

These videos are a must to any new vmodder.

Again thanks Nips for the videos, watched them this morning and motivated me to mod the Commando. They surely helped me not bork the board!

Bump was truly deserved ;)

OCM :thumbsup:

I am a nub. Dunno. Weller stations were so much easier to use than my RS model. Then again... my RS cant handle 12 gauge wire either. So wish I had a solder pot.

Your talking over my head dude, keep it simple :)

OCM :thumbsup:

when he is doing the smd's vid3 about 6 minutes in, proves he is a master :D

+2 great vids

Very few can handle the micro stuff. Even with a glass and a tiny tip.

On 100+ pin ICs I knew guys that could fix the machines soldering.

It is a gift.

some have it some do not. I fall into the latter.

thanks dr!
