VRAM upgrade

[parischloros]

Hi there nerds and geeks,

 

So there is a video on youtube where a guy is heating up the Vram chips, removes them, and installing new ones with a heat gun. 

So I was wondering where and how to get suitable GDDR5 VRAM chips for the R7 250 in order to "upgrade" it from 1 GB gddr5 to 2 gb gddr5. Also let me know if all this is real and the risk I am getting into.

 

Thanks in advance
