After reviewing your other posts, I now understand catwhiskers reply. It is a bad idea to trim gold finger cards in general. I have never viewed the trimmed class as a penalty class, just representing that most GF cards don't have high stand alone value. However, I almost never trim cards of their fingers, and never in the case of a card with the long row of little fingers that is described in the gold fingered card video. In the video on high telco Chris shows a card at time stamp 2:13 that has obviously had some gold fingers trimmed. However, the fingers were a small part of a really big board. At the same time as Sharkscrapper has said, having gold fingers on a lower quality motherboard does not raise it up to gold fingered card, so trim away. Having the gold fingers does not bring a card like this down to gold fingered card if it stands on its own as a higher class. I think with the gold fingers was a large socket mobo or high telco. Without, maybe there is a penalty?? Maybe send your picture(s) of trimmed cards to Chris and ask him to chime in and settle this.
