Voltage mod question

[supraway]

I did the voltage mod on my Abit KT7-E motherboard, and it worked great for about 2 weeks. Yesterday, one of my friends was over here and got drunk, yanked on my Intellimouse, killed the mouse cable, and moved my case about a foot. It froze. I restarted, and upon bootup, got lots of registry errors and such (at the time it was running at 1073 mhz @ 2.01vcore). So, I clocked it back down to 1ghz. Got into Windows without a hitch, and immediately started up Hardware monitor thinking it was temps, and was surprised at what was happening. My vcore was jumping anywhere from 1.7 to 2.01v all over. I opened up my case, and it appears that my solder job to the mosfet came undone (I used the 30k ohm ground to mosfet mod). It was a s**t to get soldered, as the solder wouldn't stick to the chip, so after getting the solder to stick, I used hot glue, but I think as the chip heated, the hot glue came undone.

Is there a better solder to use, or a better way of doing this?

cant you wrap the wire around the mofset then solder the wire to itself as long as the wire is tite there should be good contact. if im not making any sense ignore me ...........its been awhile since i seen the pics of the mod

Makes perfect sense.

In fact, you don't have to ground the resistor to the mosfet. You just simply ground it to the "common ground", i.e. any metal part of your system (even the case) and the ideal place is the mounting screw of the motherboard.
