Hmm. Only one leg is on the mobo. But i could use more tin and try to connect left leg direct to the rest of old cap.

Hello! I have a problem guys and I need your advice. I really did a shitty move. I wanted to clean my PC and when I wanted to take my GPU out i have destroyed a capacitor (stupid mobo manufacturers, who puts high capacitor near pcie? -.-) Soo. I bought capacitors and tried to swap them. It's not possible with my current equpment. My soldeing device is to weak (~10 - 15W) and it's not possible to solder Tin with other metals. No go here. My current rig is i7-3770k / Asrock Z77 EXtreme 4 / 8GB DDR3 2400MHz / GTX 1080 The worst thing is that i bought new 'old' CPU (i7 3770k) in april and sold i5 2500k because of CPU bottlenecks with 1080. And i just bought new ram. Upgraded from 1600MHz to 2400MHz. It's such a waste So I have to options: New mobo. It's hard to find mobo from Sandy/Ivy. THere are some on ebay but I will just not pay 150 Euros for guy with 2 or 3 feeback - high risk of scam and zero warranty that it works. Second option would be to sell CPU/damaged mobo / memory (trident z is so nice ) / h80i aio and invest in new CPU/MOBO/RAM. What to buy? Again i5? Isn't i5 just too low for 1080? Or maybe Ryzen 5 1600? Or should i go for 1700? Or buy i7 7700k and good aio? Wht would you do? Buy just mainboard or whole combo (cpu + ram + mobo)???

I think we did not understand each other Im disappointed with the new surface. Same IO, kaby like is like non upgrade over skylake. They don't even include a pen I guess next time I will buy Dell XPS.

Im confused now. I said before that it would be nice to have Thunderbolt 3 because I could use external GPU and connect it with a device via Thunderbolt 3. But I can't. SP does not have thunderbolt and the new one does not have it either which is bad in my opinion. I can only use dGPU. I don't have driver issues

??? Ofc Thundebolt 3 will help. http://ark.intel.com/products/88190/Intel-Core-i5-6300U-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_00-GHz https://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-core @Edit. Even old GPU's like HD 6000 series can support up to 2560x1600 at 60Hz. Intel dGPU since Nehalem? Sandy? Can support QHD easly

I'm using now Surface Pro 4. Well I'm happy with it but with Thunderbolt 3 I would connect my GTX 1080 and 1440p 144Hz screen via mini dp and play games. I would not need big PC. I guess Microsoft after good SP4 series made nothing new in this series. I mean new Kaby lake? It's not an upgrade

Hi. Im from Poland but now living in Germany.

What I really hate about new Surface is lack of IO. I would love Thunderbolt 3.0 and at least USB 3.1 C.
