Ok,

I want to try something different on my next build, and to do so I need to de-solder the 20 pin plug iirc? and the cpu power plug/s on a motherboard..

I'm a top soldererer but never had to de-solder anything.. (I solder 8 hours a day for my job)

So far all I have used is the solder wick.. Is a solder sucker better or a constant suction as 350 or so deg is not good to have on a board long..

Finally what could be the consequences of putting iron to board?

I don't want to spend $ on a new board to have it @##$'d

foR

PS

I have just spoken to an electrical engineer that shares my works building with, solder wick is NO and a suction/iron station is the go..

But in saying that a mobo is what 6 layers? and you have to have EVERY pin free to get the plug out and you wont know what pin is loose or not and also risk damaging the inside of the hole (forget the correct name he used)
