Hi im going for the ZigMod but i have one question my local store just had 16kohm 1% 0,6w and 1kohm 1% 0,6w axial resistors can i use them in row to get the needed 17kohm ? or is there a problem with the 0, 6 w ? ZigMod says 0, 125w does that matter or will it be ok ?

If you mean can you series wire them to add up to 17K, yes you can.
a fraction of or 1 ohm isn't going to hurt anything. Just make sure you place them in such a way that they cannot short out on the body if the top heat sink.
You of course do this mod at your own risk and expense.
Of course, you can always do the 49.9k + 5V USB fan wolfey mods instead Wink
Good luck!
