    Hi Rayton Fine electronics silver solder with built in flux.
    first of all here is a idea
    Soldering is tedious so I like to use something to be my heat sink when I am soldering as close to the mother board as you are .

    Do you know how to unsolder ? Radioshack has desoldering wicks I call em and desoldering suc bulbs .

    You may want to practice fine tip soldering before attempting this as it is easy to over heat or have solder run and ruin your motherboard .
    Radioshack has great fine line silver solder .

    I've been doing crazy electronics for over 30 years it takes a steady hand and the right soldering tools . Take your time and I reccomend a fine tip 15 watt soldering iron pointy tip ok !

    Good luck
