DFI Infinity Vcore Volt Mod

The DFI Infinity has established itself as the greatest nForce 2 FSB overclocking board, and boasts an impressive array of stock voltage options.
It has one drawback voltage-wise however, that being a comparitively low stock Vcore limit of 2.0 volts. Here is a quick step by step guide to an easy Vcore voltage modification for this board, which will allow you to feed your chip as much Vcore as you want
Please be warned that overvolting your processor can be hazardous, and can cause permanent damage to your chip. To stay safe, try to avoid exceeding 2.2 volts on standard cooling for extended periods of time.
Here are the materials which you will need for this modification:
1. A 50K Ohm Variable Resistor (also called a Linear Potentiometer, a VR, and a Pot)
2. A Soldering Iron, and some fine soldering compound
3. A Hot Glue Gun
4. Some sturdy wire (fan plug wires will do the trick)
5. A 3-pin fan plug, with the ground (black) wire still attached
(optional) 6. A Pomona Grabber. I highly reccomend that you use a Pomona Grabber, as it is easily removeable, and makes the modification a lot easier to do without killing your board - as there is no direct soldering neccessary.
If you plan on raising your Vcore voltage above 2.1 volts after the modification, you will also need to do the VSENSE voltage modification for this board. You will need a second 50K Ohm Variable Resistor, as well as more wire, a second fan plug, and a second Pomona grabber (if you are reluctant to solder the modification).
