Fixing a graphics card using oven! (8800GTX)
Loading...
Uploaded by ShadowUGZ on Oct 17, 2009
This fixes microfractures in the solder and reconnects the problematic chips (GPU) to the board. This also called solder reflow. This procedure can be done with most graphics card and motherboards with instability problems. It can even be used to repair a PS3 that has a YLOD or a Xbox360 that has RROD.
Things you should check before baking.
1) Make sure the fan is working correctly
2)Update/reinstall drivers
3)Make sure the heatsink is not full of dust
4)Reapply thermal paste/pads (if the card is overheating)
Procedure:
-Remove heatsink
-Preheat Oven to 200C / 385F (gas mark 6)
-Clean GPU and ram
-Elevate using aluminium balls
-Stick in oven (PREHEATED!) for 10-12min
-Let cool for at least 30min (preferably 1 hour)
-Reinstall heatsink (with thermal paste/pads)
Thanks to MaXeEmOe for pointing out a typo in the video. (285F instead of 385F for baking temperature)

What happens when you overclock your GPU too farby sonnytiger190,023 views
My PC boot faster than yours. Which is a pentium D 925 and without graphic cards : / you should put your whole PC in the oven.

Done this to 8800 gtx first time before 2 years, and doing it just now again - fifth time overall. The life of card is shortening every time I oven it. Last time was before 2,3 months. Just wanna let you know that, kttnxbai.
