Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I don't know what the Rosin ratio is. Spirit_Retro, what are the most likely things that will/could go wrong?
First time soldering :cry:
Going to try it with a 13 dollar soldering kit off of Amazon. I think that I have maxed out my beginners luck karma.
How can I do this with the smallest chance of fucking up?
I brought M.2 M-key 3.2 mm height sockets, and I will solder in on in 1 to 2 weeks. I don't have the laptop yet so I don't know if the resistors etc are also unpopulated.
In this thread, Formula.350 found an unpopulated M.2 M-key position on his MOBO. I have ordered these and a soldering iron in the hopes that the port works. I am going off of the reasoning that HP left the port unpopulated because they are greedy bastards who take money from Intel in exchange...
