are these pics clear enough

[asa_sniper]

Just wondering if these pics are clear enough for a tutorial.. Let me know so I can uppload them..Note not all pics are here. I picked a few I thought where fuzzy.









Edit Should have gotten a manicure first lol

Hey Sniper,

Those pics look great, the only one I could find any fault with is the one that shows you putting the memory in, maybe a higher angle so we can see more clearly where and how the memory module goes onto the board.

[asa_sniper]

thanks..There is 3 pics of me putting in memory this is just one of the views for thatpart of the tutorial.. The orthers show the clips and the last shows a birds eye view

[upgrader]

cool so you are making a tutorial, sounds good. All the pics are great, i do agree however with asa_sniper on the first pic posted.

There is a bit of unfortunate flash refelction in the one showing the power-switch connections (pinouts)... do you have other (closer-up) shots ?? While these things --of course vary greatly from system-to-sytem-- it is one of the most questioned things for beginning builders. Great detail of your example-- with careful explanations of what goes where and why...seems a necessity to me.

[asa_sniper]

ya I got a close up of all the connectors then where they go.. Ya I am doing some over because of the reflection. House is a mess since kids and wife are gone till tuesday so trying to pan away from the mess lol

Glad I had an extra cpu to show putting some artic silver on it because my new cpu is kind of stuck lol to my heatsink and fan...3500+ was extra

Attack of the dreaded "white goop" --that stuff is useless. Can be destructive if you leave it there for too long... first thing I'd do is remove that garbage and replace it w/Arctic Silver.

I wish manufacturers wouldn' t do that . If I can replace my CPU-- I can decide what compound to use...!

[asa_sniper]

Lol I know what you mean.. No its stuck because of the arctic silver.. I burned the cpu in for 48 hours and Im sure not going to try top pry the cpu off

Hey guys...just a small comment on the goop ****
Having worked in a PC production line before..i can safely say that building 22 computers in one day is only possible due to the fact that many Heatsink and Fan comes with the crappy white goop already applied.

PS. Those photos are fine.

sniper..do you have any problems with that chipset fan? i've replaced mine with a zalman passive cooler.

[ih8bills]

Arctic Silver stuck? It does thicken over time...but it's probably just suction effect holding the CPU on. 48 hours or 48 days-- it's not supposed to dry out-- Garhar?? What do you think?
I guess you are right regarding the goop... A-S would be impractical in an assembly-line setting.

[GaRHaR]

yea...i'd go with suction...i've had artic silver not release a cpu from the Heatsink and Fan, but twisting it instead of pulling it works fine...
