Thanks man

Thanks man someone told me the traces can tear or stretch easily so I got paranoid lol

When you flex a motherboard a half inch will it stretch the traces or damage them?

I have noticed Asus boards are sturdy and a half inch of travel is about all the flex it will do but while I didn't hear any noises, I know the traces on the bottom are made of copper and as the board is bent up is only seems logical that the traces sort of stretch. If the board worms should I...

OK yeah I put everything back together and it works. I've play a couple hours of bf4 on it I'm just a bit worried that I did damage that cannot be seen just yet or shorting motherboards life

Hey guys I have another noob question for ya. Last weekend I was putting together a new rig with a new Asus board. Everything went good but after everything was in the case and screwed down I realize I forgot to connect the wireless module the comes with the z77 Asus boards. After taking out all...

Right but the heat paste I'm talking about is under the ihs and cannot be changed without delidding, the sandy bridge cpus were soldered to ihs

I appreciate the input skitz and I don't mean to be annoying with all the questions but with what your saying, my 3770 paste will dry out in two years and be done? I just want to make sure if I spend $300 on another cpu that it lasts a good 5 or 6 years at least

A year an couple months ? Lol wtf

OK cool then why are people telling me that the paste will wear out in a couple years and kill a $300 chip

Right I agree sandy is a great cpu but my other rig needs new one and I want to know if ivy will last as long as sandy

OK I have a sandy bridge i7 that's 3 years old in my other rig and still think another 3 years easy so I was just wondering if it's the same for ivy despite all the bad paste talk

OK how long do you think it will last?

FYI I do not want to over clock or delid

Sorry for the bad title, auto correct on my phone, I want to go with the 3770 and hyper 212 plus but worried the past under the ihs will dry out and kill the chip
