It is the remaining solder. I will give this a try. Check back if I have more questions.

Make sure to do it in a /very/ well ventilated area. Breathing in the smoke, particularly the volumes you'd be exposed to by desoldering large computer PCBs, can give you a killer headache that'll persist for days and scoff at pain relievers.

Strange, either there's suddenly been a huge increase in the number of cheap switches available, or I was looking for something similar, but not a 360/PC switch, a few months ago.

I was looking at things for £50 (cheapest) and up.

Also, get on MW2.

i have a fucking gay habit that i've had since i was about 14 and into 'pro gaming', that whenever i buy a new piece of hardware/peripheral/game and im waiting for it to be delivered, i compulsively watch youtube videos about it and hype myself. luckily i don't do this about games anymore (because they're all shit anyway), but fuck me i'm still terrible for doing it with gadgets and hardware. this is what life is like after finishing uni? i need a hobby

Terrible habit, I hate researching a part for awhile, reading reviews and deciding on it, then when its on the way finally finding a review that shits on it, or points out one unacceptable flaw.

I'm sick and tired of PC gaming and its shitty antics. Wish I hadn't built my rig and had gotten a console instead.

So, which one then at similar price point with better performance? With CUDA.

yep, if you want to spend 380 on a card.

Edit: if it's new.

Also at the moment you can get 2x 6870s for the same price that will out perform it.
