That is how I will do my next install and tweaking which involves much back and forth with the images.
Maybe NEWEGG will have a sale on a small capacity SSD and I can copy that final image to the new SSD.
That is such an obvious and GOOD idea!!! But who is surprised by good ideas from you? I have come to expect them.
Got my desoldering stuff yesterday and tonight I start practicing removing video chips from unusable MB's. Can't wait to hear what this will do in combo with minimized WINDOWS together. At the same time I hope to finally install a P24 linear supply I have tinkering with for months (years?).
Thanks!

I bought a 1600W adjustable hot air gun and can now remove chips with this gun and a sharp plier. I just heat up the chip directly for about 15-20 sec, pick up the chip when the tin solder melt. It's hot, need to wear clovers.
Be careful with removal! Remove the audio chip first and then network.... Good luck.
This one is cheap and looks like it has a good nozzle size.
Can't beat the price!

I prefer small nozzle ones, but I couldn't find them. In the list above I would pick 1000F or 1100F product to ensure rapid heating.
The MAKITA heat gun has an accessory nozzle that is 9.5mm in diameter so I got one of those thinking I need all of the help I can get from the heat gun to not ruin the MB.
Not sure if the nozzle could fit on any heat gun.
There were a few other companies offering nozzles.
THANKS again for the help.
Any recommendations (again) on this hot air gun?
Do you think that any adjustable 1600 watt gun is as good as another?
Thanks,
Mine is, again, a cheap Chinese product @USD30. It has a nozzle smaller than regular ones, not too small though. I think there are 2 nozzle-size and I couldn't find a smaller one. Adjustment is made by turning a cap at the end of the gun. At maximum power, the heater power increases and air flow is slightly reduced. The product claimed to produce 1100 degrees C hot air.
This one is very hot, much hotter than the previous one I used. After experimenting with this gun, I gathered that very hot air produced in a streamlined nozzle will heat up a chip very rapidly. Heating up at close proximity, tin solder securing a chip will melt quickly and I could see it. I just picked up a couple of chips by a forceps. Much easily this way, and very neat. Less works as the caps and R could remain intact.
I must warn that it is very very hot. Wear 2 cotton gloves in the hand which holds the forceps.
The gun is not with me right now. I'll take some photos tomorrow. As to recommendations, I picked up the one because of its 1600W power which is adjustable, 1100C and with smaller nozzle. It turns out to be the right choice. There were a couple of others with similar characteristics and I picked this one for its price and supply of replacement heater coil. Pick one with similar characteristics and you will not go wrong.
Hope to be posting results soon.
