RE: Jack Wong, your help, please





Your assessment is correct. Use a forceps.
1. Sound chip (easily blow off)
2. Network (bottom is soldered to the mobo, require more heating)
3. IDE controller (cut off legs by a cutter, it's easy. And then remove the residue by a paste of tin solder)
4. Regulator for 3 above(fear you might remove side components, so don't remove this one. But you may lift the legs on both sides of the reg.)
5. HDMI Video converter (bottom is soldered to the mobo, require more heating)
6. DVI Video converter (bottom is soldered to the mobo, require more heating)

Do not remove the mosfets for fans. It's unnecessary. Just cut off their legs.

Try 1 first. When you've done 1 and 2, you can do the rest. The only issue with removal of video chips is insufficient space to work it out. I've removed the block of connector for Spdif etc. in order to make space for work.

Again, good luck.
