Good video, Goes over the basics of soldering SMD chips. They use flux a

solder on the hot tip to the smd component and the built in rosin
usually boils away.

One small data point:
Be carefull with MB choices, the Intel D525 MB is known to have good latency

I found that a Foxconn board that we used to sell had much worse latency than
the Intel DG41AN. No idea how it compares to the D525.
