Posted December 1, 2015 lets just take a moment to appreciate how gutsy Linus is. he hack sawed a friking 980 Cutting of a part that does nothing to performance and compatibility, and is really just an empty piece of PCB? Not really anything ballsy. QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION! When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks, But here was me thinking he was doing something really cool. Still brave though as now a days PCBs are layered and though you might not see any cercuts on the surface there may well have been something under the layers. Again though no dout the excess PCB was heat sing support. So get shot of the space killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
