OVP mod on 8RDA. How hard to cut is the pin?

[afireinside]

Well I pulled out my dead nf7 and my box cutter and started hacking away at the chip thingey. I managed to cut a pin but it took a TON of force and I hit the PCB hard and gouged a nearby pin. Are the pins on the 8RDA easier to cut? What if I hit the PCB or gouge another pin?
And do I cut near the voltage chip its self or near the bottom of the pin?

I took a small pair of wire snips to cut the legs on mine...and I cut the leg in the middle...

Weird, mine goes up to 2.2 no problem... on air...

Not stable under load, but idle temps are in mid 40's.

Feel lucky...most had that issue...like most couldnt reach past 180+FSB without modding it to death...litterly most of the times...
