if you skip through you can see how much the board is bending from the heat, is this good?

[diditron1]

whitch layer does the flux go down in the bottom layer or the top bga layer??

[teaminitiation]

if you go to 2:50 then skip to 3;34 you can see his motherboard warp a little bit.....

Don't like your Method it's a really sloppy job and looks like it will only last you a few day or weeks if lucky ... But you do got one thing right which is the thermal paste artic silver is the way too goo and the heat gun should be set to 700 degrees plus you only warm up the board evenly on each side and the CPU and the gpu you have to keep both warmed up to about 30 sec each ! Then set for 25 to 30 min DO NOT BUMP OR TOUCH !!! & then apply thermal paste ..

Did you do this before or after ylod?

[therealfixmaster]

You people should be prosecuted for fraud.

[therealfixmaster]

Oh my god this is worst thing you could do. People do not do this. When these goes bad again it makes it harder for real tech to repair these the flux eats up the boards. People stop trying to be cheap find a reballer get it fixed right the first time where the system will last you atleast a few more years. Not months. I get these all the time. It makes it harder on real professional.

[DelSolSea]

Good application using the flux but you surly cooked your PCB and chips much longer than necessary good lord dude!
