Computer and electronics dorks come complain about stuff here

[EdgeOfSanity]

I know it sounds famboyish but I haven't had an AMD CPU since the 1600 in recent times and I probably won't be going back....too many weird quirks and Intel seems to be more stable, despite sometimes being more expensive, slower, and having some weird security issues that don't affect me.

Exactly why I won't be going back to amd again. Too many stupid little issues.

I thought it was boring af.

If I didn't use CO, my Ryzen system would be rock solid.

Aside from computers, I wish I was better at soldering. Any tips?

What do you use for an iron?

Nothing wrong with Weller, especially if you use it once a month or less.

That Hakko is pretty sweet though. Separate desoldering tip would be nice to have.
