Default Pics of Variable Resistor
can someone please show me what a variable resistor looks like? i want to volt mod my card, and they say i should tune down the vr, and solder a leg to a point on the card and then to a grounded point (any suggestions on this) - how do i tune down the resistance on a vr?

tvm for the help...

You turn the knob pointing to the left to either turn down or turn up the resistance.

Yeah, those type are BIG though. I'd recommend getting the small blue rectangular ones they sell at radioshack..

For vmods they usually look like this (the little blue box with brass knob)

The one that is huge probably goes between something like 0-5v. That is WAY too much for your graphics card, make sure that the one you install will have it's max range inside of what is safe for your core or memory.

About what is ground and what isn't -- you should have followed your physics lessons if you want to do this

Either leg is ground, just as long as the other one is voltage.

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.
