Does it just put a cool pencil mark on your card? Or does it actually do something?

It's the poor man's way to volt-mod a card

Anyone want to take bets on whether or not the OP's 17th post will entail RMA procedures or "burning smells"?

yes, use a #2 pencil.

 

[keidanny]

the pencil mod is to up the voltage for the memory.

YOU MUST USE A MULTIMETER TO MEASURE HOW MUCH RESISTANCE IS REDUCED AFTER THE PENCIL MOD!!!
if too much resistance is reduced, then you can fry your card!!

Can't you just redo the bios for a higher voltage?
