Imagine it wouldn't be hard. I do find however it gets more difficult to remove old solder. Esp those from machines and not human hands. IDT you will need a desoldering iron but just make sure it isn't a 30W soldering iron.

Best wireless gaming mouse?

Is Logitech the only one out there? I have the G403 but it is my work mouse. Currently using 3 different Mionix. The NAOS 7000 is my favorite but really tired of wires.

Yeah, it seems like people really love the wireless Logitech mouse. People are even using it for competitive fps play now.

I've had a G602 for a few years now and I love it. Hardly ever runs out of battery

I have the wired version and it's great. It gets thrown several times a week and just keep working.

I like the mouse but don't love it. Something feels off for me. Not as comfortable.

What is the difference between the G403, G603 and G703?

I like the 603 more than the 403 because it has a more tactile feel with the buttons. They're essentially the same mouse.

The 403 has a built in battery while the 603 uses AA batteries

There’s one of those near me for sale for about the same price.

Dude says all he did was hook it up to text a rig and that’s it who goes and buys a 1060 just to test a rig?



Just looked again and it’s a 1070 for $270

Maybe what they had in stock at the time?

Before this 2nd wave of BTC mining, cards like the 1060 and 1070s used to be back up cards for most. A GPU you kept on the shelf as a spare.

So I’m way the hell behind with a 660.

Found a 960 for $120. You think that’s worth it for the time being while hoping for prices to drop? I’m on a pretty tight budget.

Or are the 1060/70’s for $300-400 just that much better to justify it?

960 is better than the 660, but a 1070 is muuuuuccchhhhh better than a 960.

Yep, he said I could come by and see it working in his PC before buying it.

MSRP was around $400 before the mining craze.
Tom's Hardware has a GPU hierarchy chart.

I have a 960 but only have a 1080p monitor anyway. Still, I'd like a 1070 but not at the current prices.

I'd be really happy if someone developed a line of cards specifically tuned for miners, and gamer cards could come back down in price.

Just messaged the guy about that 1070. I feel like it's a too good to be true type deal so that's why I'm antsy about it.
