  1. I bought a used Hakko 937 temp-controlled station in great condition for 40 euro. Works perfectly. It even has a chisel tip for common solder jobs and a fine tip for the small SMD, etc.

     

    In any case I do recommend a temp-controlled station and 80W if you plan on modifying VRMs. And use a soldering flux!

     

    Gluegun is very handy, also I recommend jumpers for mod circuits. For VRs, take a look at the mods. Usually a good quality 100K and 10K variable resistor does the job.

  2. I once had an Asus P5K that could only run 266MHz FSB. When I set 267MHz, the board would not even POST :).

     

    Beat that!

     

    I had a P5K-E that couldn't do more than 330-340 FSB IIRC.

    So as I was a bit mad, I said WTH and out of fun and madness put 420MHz FSB in BIOS, pressed F10 and there you go - it booted fine, all benchmarks and stress tests passed. So you see, FSB black holes do exist :P

     

    TL/DR : FSB in the range 330-410 wouldn't POST, below and above was fine,

     

    Beat that!

  3. Imagine all the people battling for TOP 15 on a livestream-camera. That would be intense! Flames, sweat and liquid nitrogen or just a bunch of dudes in pants surrounded by smoke looking at a screen :P

     

    Anyways, congrats to all that made it out alive.

     

    Luckily for me, I bought only one GPU. It was brand new from a webshop, but judging by the marks, someone had it. Oh and with a burned GPU reactor as a bonus with bent and melted pins :P

  4. I get what the organizer, MSI, would want from this, but c'mon!

     

    Many (IMO most) people looking forward to this are left with a sigh.

     

    I plea for some kind of a painkiller - one lucky draw spot, ban Ivy for all regions ... something! Make it somehow worthwhile for people without spare 1000+ euro. We deserve it!
