Did I just waste some money??? all the talk about 60 watt irons to recap, and I sent off to all-spec.com and bought a W60P3 Weller three-wire ... which I discover came with a 1/16" 700deg tip... which sounded too hot.. when I look for the lower temp tips (600deg lowest) they are nowhere to be found... did I screw up or can I get in and out with 700deg and not destroy anything... I've dont a lot of soldering before - buss bars to SMD, but need some advice... billl

Re: Weller W60P3
If it is F not C, then you are actually a little cold. Most stations go to 850 F. How much did you pay? -
Re: Weller W60P3
true enough... it's F... it's supposed to regulate temp... gonna use Pb/Sn with it... there is tip for it that goes to 800F... probably should pick one up huh?? paid 60 something $ for it...billlLast edited by parttimebill; 08-31-2006, 05:46 AM.Comment

Here's an unusual one...
This is a Gallenkamp oven, used in a laboratory space, goes up to 220 Celcius, but is usually maintained at about 115 Celcius. Used for drying glassware, molecular sieves, and so on. Oven is in excess of 20 years old.
It heats up fine, there is an orange light on the front that indicates that the unit is heating, and when it reaches the preset temp, the orange light goes out. All good so far.
However, after the preset temp is reached, the temperature continues to rise, power to the heating elements isn't cut off.

Hi to all, my motherboard (bought second hand as faulty, but now working after cleaning the ram slots) have a strange failure that shows 0 Celsius degrees in BIOS, because of that, the CPU goes to protection mode and gets stuck at 800Mhz.
Since its a 8-9 Intel generation, I know the CPU temp is the hottest temp of the cores (as i have read in intels documentation) so its not a diode or sensor on the board.
External temperature (motherboard temp) is working OK, 27ºC more or less
In windows, all the software I have tested shows correct the Core temps

Is 98C vram temp are safe? Less demanding games goes 80ish.
Funny thing, there were old non stock thermal pads very botched, so i replaced them. After, temperatures remained the same, but performance (fps) improved significantly. With both thermal pad application GPU core temp was similar.
furmark goes about 104C, amperage keeps rising so do temps. -
Someone gave me two of these 100/140w weller soldering guns. Yes, I know it runs current right through the tip, but might be nice to really get some heat into some big wires that need to be soldered.
So, worth a place on the bench, or chuck it?

Dear BC,
Today, by luck & chance I found a used Weller WD1 soldering station in my used local market for a very good price and I couldn't say no
The seller sold it as it's with no warranty and no return, I accepted his t&c since he gave it on my asking price, only the station nothing else with
My question, is there a way to mod a T12 with this station or someone did like this modification before
Thank & waiting your replies
