i have pretty good soldering skills, but when i look at the qsb boards for the nand-x the solder points are pretty small and then i look at my iron and the tip just looks to big, are there smaller tips that are able to be bought? or should i get a new soldering iron?
Quick Question about what hardware to use for soldering

depending on the type of iron you have you should be able to buy new tips for it,or get a smaller 20watt iron thats what i did
I use a 15 watt iron and I never had a problem. You can pick a cheap one up from a Radioshack. No need to buy a really expensive one unless you really need variable temperatures. But you can also solder the NAND-X directly without the QSBs.
Yea i used my 15 watt solder iron, but like the point you have to solder to with the orange cable for the coolrunner, is ridiculously small, i finally got it good, but it was pretty hard to solder to it
You mean right next to the HANA chip? I don't know I never had a problem with that. Guess I'm just used to solder tiny points like that since I actually have fun installing ps2 modchips.
