Fix your 8800gtx Graphics Card (STEP by STEP) by Baking it in the OVEN.

[UltraNSC]

You really can be happy that this Card works, cause the Card was FACE DOWN in the oven... Normaly the Chips would fall down :P

[alianstuff]

Also if you dont want to waste electricity put pies on the next shelf

[hayel2ko]

it is parallel to the ground not perpendicular

[codenamepigs]

(EVGA 8600 GTS) i put it face down and all my capacitors came out. I have 2 big capacitors and 3 small ones now. how do i know which one goes where (i didnt take a picture of it beforehand)"?

[Hangshai]

This is a great tutorial. i really would like to try this since I have 2 evga 8800 GTX cards that BOTH are doing the red lines/artifact thing. Ive heard that it is not good to put your card in the oven bcs the odor you mentioned when it bakes could contain toxic vapors from the metals in the card (lead, etc). Do you know anything about this? I really would like to be able to game again, any info would be appreciated.

[DJDrew2006]

Thanks a lot, this worked perfect for me!!

[TheUrzur]

never drink and bake!

[ultimateako96]

Pizza, now with extra graphics card! XD

[MrCraigphilipporter]

WOW this totally works! I thought I would have to sell my laptop in pieces because my graphics card was stuffed, but this morning I tried it and it works! Thanks so much!

[scar1343]

@MrCraigphilipporter You sold it?

[coolhead97]

so cook it intill golden brown

[Dwaithy]

Worked like a charm :O Thanks for the video

[Dwaithy]

Worked like a charm :O Thanks for the video

[uuuaaaaaa]

facing down? if you are lucky enough, the components will fell off!

[phantom5613]

@uuuaaaaaa Yea if it really did get near solder melting temp. The caps would have blown and the IC's would have parted slightly from the PCB, if not fall off completely.

[lilsleepy59]

Testing now

[Willaras]

You know the the show, the F word? He said once, If its brown its cooked if its black its f@cked

I assumed you meant 380 degrees Fahrenheit but did I bother to check? Of course not...

I put my experimental broken gpu in the oven for 10min at 482 Fahrenheit... And of course 5 capacitors popped the pcb has bulged in places and the bit where the fan plugged in competely melted. But I must say, I shall be atempting this a few more times with a little pile of dead cards I have, will post the results

[brunothebarb]

@Willaras 385F for 8 to 10 minutes is shown in the original description

[Aimanrulez]

@brunothebarb is it safe putting it in the microwave i have a xfx hd 5450

[decimat777]

@Willaras just get a cheap heat gun hold it above the chip for about 2min and it will do the same thing without damaging any of the components

[thecosmy1]

CAN I DO THIS WITH A GEFORGE GT 220 ?

[Willaras]

@thecosmy1 No reason you cant, just be carefull. And 380F is 200C. Just in case you make the same mistake as me.

[jumperlaur]

ram and some other stuf no het stuf

[psyhokinetik]

you must disassemble the fan and clean it from the dust inside , if you don`t do that your graphic card will overheat again ... and put thermal paste also on the memory dimms !

Also you have to put some coolers on your pc case for a better air flow .

[scar1343]

@psyhokinetik Its not smart to use themal paste on the memory dimms. use those pads or thermal paste. but dont use both.

[presario934]

f.ck the graphics card

I love that oven!

[CAKEwasTRUE]

Cosco pizza is the best!!!

[TT3LTU]

I'm having the problem with my MSI Geforce N9800GT Zilent version. It starts good but after 5 min it freezes and then deskop goes with pink dots. Will it work on my version of GPU?

[scar1343]

@TT3LTU This can work on almost any GPu. Give it a try if you want.

[perskarva123]

Do you have to use thermal paste or can it also be normal glue?

[Willaras]

@perskarva123 NNOOOO!! It has do be Thermal Paste!! Therma paste has fantastic thermal conductivity, so it gets the heat off the cpu and in the heat sink. Glue will just stick the thing together, and probably boil after a few minutes of operation.

[Gravintho]

Hats off to the ingenious Yankees. I cooked my NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB today, face up, following these instructions, and it works fine again on my Mac Pro desktop. My only concern was that between several of the components on the card and the fan unit there were pads made of a woven substrate overlaid with a white material. Some of them fell away when I took the fan unit off. I got them back again after cooking, but one or two looked a little the worse for wear. So it's fingers crossed!

[SergeantNugget]

My graphics card still works, but it frezes all the time, would this solve it?

[longbeach225]

What's for dinner? 8800gtx !!! ummmm.

[SergeantNugget]

@longbeach225 lol

[gvolkermord]

Worked here, revived my EVGA 8800gt, I upgraded my card already but now my HTPC has a great video card. Been working for about a day with no problems/artifacts with furmark. Also you can get thermal paste at best buy or computer stores. Was it just mine or did everyone's card have a crazy amount of paste on it? Looked like the guy that put mine together used an entire tube...

[MKSoldierAllTheWay]

First of all, do I need to remove the fan from the GPU because in the other video, the man just dashed everything in the oven?

Secondly, what could I use instead of thermal paste... I don't even know what that is or means?

[gvolkermord]

@MKSoldierAllTheWay Nothing, just get some thermal paste from a local computer store, best buy, amazon, newegg, tigerdirect... etc. And don't use too much, you need just enough to put a layer on the top of the main cpu (gpu in this case) you don't want it squeezing out the sides and creating hotspots.

[berezker]

if this works ill make 25 accounts and subscribe to u

i rly miss my Geforce 8600gts

its soo awesome can run Cod black ops perfectly on high

[EmilyMancusoDesign]

my question is - after this is all baked/reassembled/installed is there anything else that should be checked? My card quit suddenly in my Mac Pro (from late 2008) so seeing how much the older cards are, I'm thinking of doing this

my concern is after its re-installed, is there a risk the vid card could affect other important aspects of the hardware, like the logicboard or the processor? I'd faint if the card worked then fried some other hardware in the machine. o__o I'm a noob, but learning

[EmilyMancusoDesign]

@EmilyMancusoDesign btw... my card is the 8800GT, not the GTX. Guessing it's not that much different.

[DonDionid]

IT WORKING! But i havent got paste so i use that was was there before and it steal working!

[Framiga57]

lets see! this way is as efficent as killing a rat wirh a bomb! :-)

[foxfoobar]

I would desolder the capacitors before doing this...

[hyderalishahcom]

Noob or no noob, card was bust so thought what the hell I'll give it a try!

This works like a treat!!!! For the UK peeps its gas mark 6!

@brunothebarb Thank you! You saved me a few hundred pounds! :D

[paulb4uk]

Superb fix i will be doing this to my old nvidia 8800 gts card ,

[martin633]

Yeah! It works! My 8800gtx showed a lot of yellow and blue vertical lines and it only supported 1024x768. I put it in the over for 9 minutes (196 degrees Celsius). After that I turned off the oven and left it there for 30 minutes (oven door was open). Then I put it back in with some new Arctic Silver. Great! Thanks!

[docgmark]

It worked for me perfectly. I repaired my completely dead laptop VGA (ghosted image on internal monitor and dead the external monitor) on a Clevo M570U with the GeForce Go 7950 GTX on a Clevo's proprietary module!!!

[scar1343]

to be honest with you it isn't such a smart idea putting in the oven. if you use a heat gun to just heat up the gpu and not the whole thing like the capacitors it can be a better fix.overall just giving another good idea if you don't want to do the oven trick.

[ImmortalUniverse]

i tried it with the bread toaster, since it was toast already .

im sorry ,but i think you are fooling people.

i dont believe any card will survive 10 minutes in the oven.

i have to seee with my own eyes .

but im not stupid to try amateur solutions .

[pcgamergod]

@ImmortalUniverse oh it will! I fixed a XBOX 360 ring of death with this fix ;-) this trick makes the solder on the board 'fluid' again and covers the cracks that it has made over time by heating up and cooling down so much ...

sorry for the bad english ;-)

[ImmortalUniverse]

@pcgamergod i bought broken xbox 360's and fix them and resell .

i also have a modded myself .

only noobs use bake tricks like this .

i fixed my xbox360 with new reflow of cpu, a bigger GPU heatsink with fan and a bigger cpu heatsink with fan .

the fans are from xcm and very silent when you mod them on 5 volt .

it also has a better cooled black chameleon case of XCM .

overheating can at best cause a temperarly fix .

but you screwed the other parts .

so your xbox is doomed anyways

[brunothebarb]

@ImmortalUniverse yep am a noob - don't have components sitting around all day long like BIGGER GPU heatsinks and doing New Reflow stuff. Sure there are better ways to do this. Bottom line, is if you want to research and buy extra stuff and then have someone like you explain step by step then more power to you. Otherwise, if you card is POOP already, and you want to try this. With as many people this has helped, there is no point to call someone a noob. make a non noob video then.

[ImmortalUniverse]

@brunothebarb ofcourse there is a point of calling you a noob. cause you are a noob and giving dangerous examples to others . you shouldnt be doing that at all. buy a new or let it repair by a Pro. im not gonna make a non noob video. because noobs dont have the right tools anyways. figures why you use a damn bake oven , stupid. besides ,im not paranormal'. who says it needs a reflow anyways , a cap might be busted aswell or the GPU . you first need to find the problem noob

[horace9338]

Thank you so much. I followed your video and managed to fix my Nvidia 8400M of my Acer notebook PC. Thumbs up !!!

[SolgerLemp]

hi, i was just wondering what's wrong was with your VGA for you to fix it ?

[kalonjikalonji]

btw thanks. this actually worked :s wtf

[mariusws]

Thank you for the post! Fixed my card! You rock.

[kalonjikalonji]

i don't have any thermal paste. can i use something else? or what to do

[TheAldeward]

@kalonjikalonji Peanut butter did the trick for me.

[kalonjikalonji]

@TheAldeward lol are you serious??

[TheAldeward]

@kalonjikalonji Very serious.

[horace9338]

@kalonjikalonji

I bought one small tub from Ebay below $2 with postal charges included. Search for 'thermal compound'.

[1978nikolai1978]

@kalonjikalonji it cost 3$ at radioshak

[wimthetim]

I followed your instructions to a T on my Zotac 8800GT amp. Worked a treat!

Thanks so much for the clear instructions. Cheers!

[spaceboy3101]

Addendum: I should add though, that if baking bottom side up, if the heat sink isn't contacting all of the chips/parts on that side, they could drop off on that side as well, but it would seem that's a risk for every card, as they're all going to have surface mount components on both sides.

[spaceboy3101]

One other thing I'd like to add. By leaving the heat sink on, you can bake it bottom side up, which would actually be better, imo, because if one of those surface mount components on the back, that are the size of a flea's nose, were to fall off, you're in trouble. You need surface mount equipment to reattach those, so, consider leaving the heat sink on for the first try, and bake bottom side up!

[spaceboy3101]

This vid, combined with other tutorials I've read, have helped me fix my BFG 8800 GTS! In my case, there were so many thermal pads/paste attached to other chips on the card that the heat sink would not budge one bit. I decided to leave the sink on, pulled the plastic covering off the sink, removed the fan, set it up on a couple of large L brackets: @390, @10 min., @30 min. of cooling, and.....Success! Card went from unbootable to good as new! :D

[gamescita]

next day i tried it again with the same procedure just let it cool down faster and buy new thermal paste. Same problem. So i did it with the chip down and the cooling 10 minutes crack open, than 10 mins full open and then take out and let it cool down totally for another 5 minutes out of the oven. New bigger layer of paste and it worked. Thank you so much man, especially when Skyrim will be released and i cant afford to buy new GPU.Thanks a lot!!!!

[gamescita]

I just tried it. pre-heated oven for 200C, put it inside for 9,5 minutes chip up leveled od 4 foil balls, then truned off and crack open and let it cool down for over an hour, then re-assembled and tried.

result: artefacts much worse but i manage to reach the normal run of OS and played Just Cause 2 with no problem, just the colors were tragic. So i think i did some mistake so i will buy more paste and do it again tomorrow and hope i will be completely ok. thanks for your video.

[kicksoffs]

come on just do it already

[alexcoro]

so the oven doesnt have to be pre heated?

[wimthetim]

@alexcoro ... in my case i preheated the oven so the temperature was correct when the card went in. I guess if u dont do this it might not work

[rimantasj632]

Baking my msi9800gtx+ now:D. If its not gonna work, Ill add some potattoes with extra pickles and ham >:(

[GamingForLife96]

@brunothebarb plz tell me what games u play with that ancient graphics card... i would go crazy trying to use it..

[demonbaker89]

is that an alienware cpu

[jolareng]

Thank you for good instruction !!!

Baked my 8800GTX in the oven at 195 degrees Celsius for 7 min. + 3-4 min. to cool down with the door open.

Bafore baking the card it had a lot of strange characters when turning on computer. In windows there was many small blue dots together making vertically stripes.

After baking it works like new !!!

I`m gonna notice if the card gets faulty again.

[bbsheppo]

Mine died about 4 days ago and tried this yesterday and now works perfectly. many thanks to bruno.

[mikejmcc]

Brilliant. I had nothin to lose today so I gave it a bash. Works a treat. Thank you very much indeed

[Quiche81]

Just tried this on a 9800 GTX, suffering from Artifacts and it totaly worked, nice tutorial fella :)

[MrYingtongGB]

UPDATE:

Its been a couple of weeks since i tried this and im happy to report that my video card has functioned fine since the "bake off", the key thing here is to let the card cool in the oven as directed leaving the oven door slightly open for 10 mins or so then out of the oven for at least another 10 to 30 mins before you re-assemble the heat sink/fan. Thanks again Bruno :-)

[Mariospaok1989]

really thank you!!!!

[EliteSpetzNaz]

Does not work with 7800s lol. Ahh well, needed a new graphics card anyway. Thanks for the help though. :-)

[ThaMysteryMask]

i just tried this on my 8800gts and it didnt work :( any time i turn on my computer it makes a long beep and i get no montior signal.. but the computer boots just no monitor signal! damn!

[jolichja]

Just got a broken 8800 gtx from a freind today for free so i tried this out and now it runs perfectly :)

[Billy982810]

I LOVE YOU.. G-Force 8800 mac back in action. I did exactly what you said. I cant believe it. Thanks so much..

[snoopy210190]

Wasn't toxic or smelly at all.

[snoopy210190]

Preheated oven for 10 minutes 195C. Then i put my card inside the oven, on 4 balls of tinfoil so it's evenly leveled, GPU upwards. Cooked for 8 minutes, then turned off the oven, kept door closed for 1 minute. Then slightly opened the door and let it cool there for 1 hour. Works like a champ now.

[snoopy210190]

@MrYingtongGB i'm having problems with my 8800 gtx as well. was the process toxic - u used home oven or separate one? and how's your card, still working?

[MrYingtongGB]

Many thanks Brunothebarb :-)

My video card failed this morning with windows displaying error code #43.

I did this with GPU upwards and followed your instructions, baked my BFG 8800 GTS OC for 10 mins.

Been working all day now with now issues, many thanks dude :-)

[NeelkeRs]

TR0LL it fixed my GeForce 8500GT thanks L

[Madrox145]

Thanks man!  I trusted your video the most, and it seemed to work for now! Im just crossing my fingers it last me through the winter cause I cant afford anything new this time of year, so im hopeing maybe with the cold temp's it will make it last longer who knows lol.

[renkacena]

thanks for the vid! i want to try that but i only got a standard oven here that doesn't indicate temperature. it only has a timer. what can you suggest?

[kantonick123]

\m/

[Mudoglav]

thanks a bunch man, I managed to fix one card and the other is having the same problem after second baking, tomorrow Ill try to bake it from the other side

[Mudoglav]

can wait to bake my 8800gtx, both are fucked up. I am seeing blue striped all over my screen and yellow also

[chillzaa]

This totally worked for me, thank you so much for such a comprehensive tutorial. I did it with an old nVidia 8800 GTX with artefacts/corruption in bios. I did the baking GPU FACE UP at 190 degrees for 10 minutes. I then let the oven cool naturally with the door open a crack for at least an hour.

[hiephoi058]

i just tried this once and it didnt work..

i have used it with a zalman cooler always and never got hot...

maybe i try it another time... bybye sli

[hiephoi058]

my 8800gt died but i didnt see artifacts.

iam gonna try to bake it, thank you for this tutorial :-)

[ThePoosje]

well i've got a GeForce 9800GT; and it's f*cked up.. and i'm willing to try this as well.. is there a risk of trying this or...?

[ThePoosje]

@ThePoosje

it worked for me :D

[Vagenson]

Dude what can i say, i love u haha, it worked perfectly i was using my crapy onboard and now im using mi card again really thx for the info!! ( i was about to throw it it was on the trash ahah )

[JayKayz0r]

Really worked for me at Asus 9800GT , not gonna keep it thought! gonna sell asap!

[wimthetim]

@JayKayz0r : now that's not exactly the right thing to do is it? I hope when you next buy a used graphics card... its been baked!

[schuegrafma]

I can't believe this. It actually worked! You feel like a retard shoving your beloved card into your oven, but hey, it works. I had a massive amount of artifacts, all kinds of lines, boxes, colors. It was what I imagined an LSD addict experiences when using a computer. Now there is absolutely no image contamination whatsoever. Incredible.

[c0axial]

Nice Oven...

[Naiveclone]

can someone please tell me what the deal is with fan assisted ovens? should i just turn the fan off, does it make a difference?

[NoGufff]

Most of these vids are for 8xxx series, but the same method should work for 9xxx shouldn't it ?

[Nefus1988]

I have tested this today and it works!!! :D I have pictures if you don´t belive me! Before the screen was black with some white zigzag pattern. Now theres none!

[asadmari]

I had 8600 gts, the problem was that there was no display and but the card was working, so i did ur trick, it didn't work same thing so time to get a new one for sure :D

[brunothebarb]

Although the video indicates face down. There is a note to do it FACE UP right under the video. This was based on some expert user comments...

[xandrohermoza]

Works amazingly. !!! tried 3 times. --1st time oven not hot enough, --2nd i didnt let it cool properly and didnt put enough thermal paste ( the layer was too thin), although the card started, the laptop would shutdown after 5 mins. --3rd time i preheated oven 10 mins. at 200celsius then placed chip side down for 10 mins. then opened just a gap in the oven to cool slowly for 10 mins, then opened all the way for another 10 mins. cleaned and put a better layer of thermal paste. JACKPOT!!

[xandrohermoza]

works beautifully, gpu temp is at 45 constantly, cpu responding well. played games, watched movies and havent turned the pc off yet,(personal habit), my laptop is always on. so far since the gpu baking, pc is on for over 30 hours. before baking my pc would boot and i'd remote desktop into it, as the gpu wasnt loading so the display wouldnt turn on and any attached tv or monitor wouldnt work either..Now everything works flawlessly. Card must be down. I have a CLEVO M570TU - GPU NVIDIA 9800M GTS

[krisisbob]

i saw on a thread the guy put his 280 facing down and the gpu fell off

[desertfish74]

I found your video when my 8800gts fubared and I went searching for some tips to fix it.

Watched the video and thought "heck, card's broken now anyway so it won't hurt to try this shit". Made the mistake to place it face down at first: a part fell off the PCB because it was melted loose :S Redid it face UP with the little part placed carefully on the connection that it fell away from.

And IT WORKS AGAIN LIKE A CHAMP! Thanks for the great video!

[chavka2000]

its working ajajajaja iwe done this to my geforce 8800gts 512 and works fine eawen in 3D mark 05 gone treux like a melody thxxxxxxxx man for help thxxxxxx

[cruisingcody]

holy shit, I thought this was a prank video, it actually works

[Zencur148]

I did this yeasterday to a Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT and it worked! thanks man

[xekay619x]

does it work for galaxy gt 520 graphic card???

[plustheMIC]

I did this to my 8800 GT over 2 months ago and it still works perfectly.

[cadkins90]

This worked on my but after more than a month, it started happening again. I will re-bake it.

[vipermasse]

It works!!!!! :) Thank you!!!!

WOOOOOHOOO!!

My Asus GeForce 8800 Ultra is alive again!!!!

[vangstaz]

Does this have any relationship with a Code 43 by the way?

[leeraymond75]

@vangstaz Yes it does, code 43 was the error code i had before i cooked my card.

[leeraymond75]

Made me laugh when i heard about this method, but i thought what the hell my cards fu**ed anyway, WOW hats off to you, i just followed the video step by step, within a hour i am back up and running. many thanks.

[keverinkarama]

are you a technician? how many times have you done this?does this work the same way for my 8500gt?

[CamoPeng]

just baked my ATI 3870 and it worked! 200 Deg C for 10mins does it!

[omgrongmeh]

Ok so I was given a couple 8800 ultras from a friend who had them work without issue for 2 years. I ran the SLI setup for about 5 months before one card started to artifact. I took the bad one out and ran only one 8800 ultra for another 4 months before that one started to artifact aswell. Well being out of warranty they sat in a closet for 3 months bare; I didn't give a crap what happened to them. So today I am looking up info to fix capacitors for an ATI allinwonder...

SLI ONCE AGAIN SON!!!

[jfdenotter]

Tried this with 2 8800GTXs. One was having major artifacts and the other wouldn't POST. Now both of them don't post after baking. So that is one big fail for me. Ahwell, had some fun and didn't really lose anything. (they weren't even my cards :P)

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

do not!! i repeat do not put the card in chip down..

this fucking guy did and lucked out!!

chip down capacitors and shit fall off

i hope mine works after trying to figure out how the fuck to solder them back on

[o0oGOKUo0o]

me doing this and work

watch?v=4PFMr8N0DMw

[TheHappilyInsane]

Worked like a charm!!!!

[o0oGOKUo0o]

hi man i have 9800 gt dead one in the stratup there many green lines and some thing like $ all over the screen dose this will fix it anyway i have nothing to lose

and by the way dose the oven is the micro wave i dont konw if its the same ?

thx in advance

[Nookster]

Another success story, OEM 8800 GT (rev 1) from a Mac Pro.

Used your video, and with the exception of baking it chip side up, I followed it to the letter, 200 C - heat off door and closed for a min, then 25 - 30 mins cooling with the door open.

Put on a tiny bit of thermal paste just enough to cover the G92, used the same thermal pads (pads are a bit wrecked but more or less intact). Popped back into the bottom slot and working like new again, still in disbelief.

Thanks for the great vid :-)

[piratemanwill]

besides leveling it with the foil, you have to tell everyone the foil needs to be on the ends held up by either the capacitors or chips, because if the foil touches the circuit, the solder has a chance of stickin

[mu4me1]

شكرا

i mean thank you

i will try it on my EVGA gts 450

[o0oGOKUo0o]

@mu4me1 السلام عليكم

لقد رايت لك تعليك تقول انك ستجرب طريقة وضع كرت الشاشه في الفرن فهل نجحت معك ؟

وما كانت مشكلته في البدايه ؟ وساف علي الازعاج

[mRsxmANGo]

My 8800 gtx has loads of artifacts and vertical lines. Going to bake it right now. This is the first time i'm doing this. I'll let you know after it's done. Wish me luck :)

[95TurboSol]

Had artifacts galore and red lines all over my screen on my 8800GTX, then I followed everything you said in the video and now it works like new again :)

Try it guys this can actually fix your video card.

-Matt

[spacep0d]

Thanks for the step by step! I have a dead Quadro 1500 (very expensive) and am hoping to fix it. Doesn't even post now so probably not much to lose.

[spacep0d]

Thanks for the step by step! I have a dead Quadro 1500 (very expensive) and am hoping to fix it. Doesn't even post now.

[snaguoonkee]

Can I not apply the thermal paste afterwards? And where can u buy them?

[snaguoonkee]

What happens if you don't apply the thermal paste afterwards? Will it still work or will it fry itself?

[TheCoreLogic]

It became obvious when I disassembled my 8800GT video card that I would need to replace the thermal pads as well. If you replaced the ones in your card, what thickness pad did you use and where did you purchase them?

[kalit001]

I got a 8800gtx fan spinn w/ black screen from a friend a couple of months ago, its been sitting on a shelf since then because i fried my Macbook logicboard by istantly removing it from the oven. In retrospect this seemed stupid just after i put it back in the computer as a poping noice went of and it was completly dead.

Im gonna go over to the store and by some Silverpaste and bake this badboy now. Tell yall when im done to se if it works!:D

[brunothebarb]

@kalit001 Did you attempt the fix on your Graphics Card? If so, did the baking work?

[IceColdSeeker]

Holy crap this actually worked. Great vid. Thanks a lot.

[brunothebarb]

You are right. I was never sure which way it should be up or down. I just note some people do it face up some do it face down.. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for the TIP on the Flux Liquid. This is the technical detail needed to make this process better. I had used face up in the past and it worked but it didn't last long. (It could be because I didn't cool down Slowly. However, so far things are cool on mine since the video. Not a flaw. I will try FaCE up in the future w/ SLOWCOOL

[pandarello]

Hmm this needs sorting dude. Firstly NEVER EVER EVER put the graphics card with the components facing DOWN. The way this works is to melt the solder. Gravity will make the components fall down meaning they reflow twisted. Put the card down in the oven with foil under it FLAT with the dull side up. Also, get some flux liquid in a squirt bottle and pump it under the main GPU chip itself.

[rezzamrkool]

i already did it ....And my graphic card melted and wrecked.....I do it for only 6 mins....already remove the heat sink and the fan too as you told so....now my graphic card is in garbage.....trying to buy a new one....

[Pendemic]

Have you ever heard of this working with cars that don't show any picture at all?

My old motherboard killed my 8800GTS and it doesn't show anything on the screen...let alone any artifacts.

[brunothebarb]

@Pendemic My Card was initially BLACK screen and I tried it and it fixed the Card. If the Card is DEAD in the water, what do you have to loose?
