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...

Just the wire mod for consistent voltage risks damaging the chips?! ... I would think the more consistent voltage has little / no chance of damage to chips w/ stock cooling..

I know its obvious a mod like 1.34v risks damaging / overheating chips if not properly cooled, but wasnt thinking about doing that. Just the wire mode for tad more clockspeed cuz of the more consistent voltages.
I think my cooling setup should handle it fine (5k rpm 250cfm fans)

Just adding a wire (assuming done correctly) will have no chance of damaging your chips. However if you have never soldered to electronics before I recommend leaving the board as is.

where exactly have you soldered the 2 points? i dont see the r10 resistor anywhere on the first pic.

If you look closely the resistor in the exact center of the image is R10. It is an 0603 size resistor with a 0402 sitting on top. << look closely, its there.
