What's that smell? Are you cooking chicken?

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

The initial smell is more like burning hair.

Depends on the temperature setting

Smells like bacon when you rest your arm on a hot weld.

But yeah soldering burns usually smell like hair, though I’ve never burned myself for very long that way.

Hm I've had motherboards that only tab open from one side, but I haven't seen memory slots positioned so far away from the CPU socket. Maybe on a server board.

Yea, that mobo arrangement is the biggest red flag. That is a ridiculous layout I've never seen even on server mobos, and the details just get worse.
