In the second method shown where you 'pop the top' off the socket, I wouldn't mind doing that. The fact that you can do it w/ a ginsu makes it that much easier (and funnier, GINSUMOD HAI!), although I'd probably still use my dremel just for the hell of it. It also seems like there would be no long-term downfalls to it (proc. not level, etc). It seems like the process is kind of like popping the shim off the 9700 pro, in terms of socket removal in that pic.

I've soldered on my board (epox 8rda+, learned how from amdmb.com forums

), vid card too, and it's easy, besides the fact that the same soldering job can take 5 to 30 minutes for me, because of my shoddy technique (I haven't fried anything yet

)
