Anyone who has done the pencil mod can you be as kind to upload a few pictures of the lines on what parts how thing etc to do the lins. Thx in advance.
Where the white line is where you want to use your pencil on the
side of that resistor. Don't waste your time doing it on the top. There is some sort of coating that the graphite wont stick to.
did the pencil mod jumped to 2.62 from 2.29. my hub has 9 be's and one red fury. i am using a 10 port aitech black all aluminum hub with a 5amp 12 volt brick. before the mod my k-watt meter was 34.7 watts it is now 35.1 watts. i did 3 pencil rubs with light pressure. i need to get more sticks. but .4 watt = .4gh boost not bad.
I went back traced the spot 3 more times now read 2.73/2.62/2.51. the power went up some more and a fan is a must. but looks like running this at 2.6 is possible with pencil trick.
I did the second mod hot since I am a bit more comfortable with doing it. I am thinking ten of these at will pull around 38 watts at the plug hashing at 26gh. pretty good numbers
