Avilator Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 That seems like an interesting, and valid, concept. But there is also the risk of cooking your entire card.

EtherealN Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Aye, like they said: a last resort for those times when you can't RMA and you can't purchase a (better) replacement. Pretty cool though. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Experience? It works very well, I actually fixed an old GT7900 just a couple of weeks ago. It went dead over a year ago. Found it in my old "PC dustbin" and thought... what the heck, lets test it. I only removed the heatsink, nothing else, then put it in the oven for 10 min. Tested it in an old pc...and it worked well again.:thumbup: Won't use it as I have newer things now, but it's good if I needs an cheap upgrade on a server or so.

Pretty cool though. :) ^ That If you have a warranty, then use it. Only do this as a last resort, i.e when the thing, whatever it maybe, video card, xbox360 motherboard etc etc is already dead and out of warranty. The trick will only work for problems that are associated with lose connections, where the solder has come away from the join and isnt making a good connection. Fried gpu or fried memory modules on a video card caused by overclocking will not be fixed by this method. This type of fix is only good for problems that are caused by soldered connections that have failed for some reason or another. It isnt a magic cure all and as EtherealN says, its a Last Resort.
jerda Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I've heard of baking analog tape, but not graphics cards!

joey45 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Brings a new meaning to a 'cooked graphics card'. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
