Asus M4a79 deluxe up close and personal
I thought I'd document some shots and work on this.....
I usually post a board before I tear it apart as my warranty is preety much void the first time I turn it on.......however this time I pulled it all apart due to a poor mounting job on the mosfets. It was literally not even touching on one side......as you will see from the pics.
I will follow up with thoughts, results etc etc next week, I have a big weekend planned and I need something I'm a little more comfortable with for those plans.
Onto the picture show...
