should have worked though either way unless traces got cut around the board

we shoulda tested the card before removing the resistors...i'm thinking it got wet...so hopefully baking it helps...

i dont think the traces got damage...the lone resistor was ok....the adjacent resistor removal was the tricky part...

Solder points tested ok, traces not broken around the 3 resistors....

I will strip the card, solder the 3 resistors back on and give her a try on stock air!

Honda looks taller in that picture than he did at the Asus event.

thats not me...the smiling pot smoking mofo is v2-v3

i'm asian

lol j/k i knew that bro. I see you guys used that stupid little fan that comes with the R3. I stopped using that thing cause it would frost up so bad that it would stop turning. lmao

ouch. I hate when that happens.

we just connected it...we used 2 80 nmb supplementary fans...temps were finger safe..as it didn't burn our fingers as compared to the passive heatsink...

I'm going back to water cooling the nb/sb. It seemed to help out alot on my last R3. could be my imagination though. But hell, i paid alot for that waterblock i might as well use it.

EPIC LOL :)

ya he has that rare disease like Michael Jackson but from Asian to white :)

Mobo went from burning hot to warm when we added the lil NB fan
