whoa that wire mod looks sick...
do you think w/o an overvolt that more consistent voltage will help HW% errors drop and thus a bit higher clock even at stock voltage? cuz that mod seems simple enough.

Yup.  JFET transistors act like tiny capacitors when they're closed - the current doesn't actually stop flowing until the capacitor is 'charged'.  And of course more volts means faster charge time.

On the other hand, of course, it means more heat, and more risk of damaging your chips...

Can you post voltage readings on each chip since doing the wire mod? I wanna know how much its improved as far as being consistent voltage.
Any chance you can attempt OC just at stock volts using just the wire mod?

My avy, so far, using newest 0820 firmware is capable of 363-364mhz @ 1.7% HW, around temps of under 40C ... at night my avy max temp goes down to less than 35C ...
