Pic related : card now
Card : gtx 580
Please advice. Will the card work still, is the core fucked. Should I just get a new heat sync or summin.
TLDR: I blew my gpu heat sync up and need advice
>>46772557

Well you're supposed to strip the card down to the bare PCB before baking buddy
oh lawdy what have you done, OP.....
That card is fucked. As in, completely and totally useless now. I sincerely hope this is a troll thread...
in the future, maybe try re-soldering, without exposing the entire silicon circuitboard to extremely high temperatures.
put it in ur pc and show us what happens
babies first troll b8 m8
Op here
Not troll
When u say it's completely fucked do you mean as in won't function or unlikely to function
What could have actually been fucked on it
You need a new heatsync if you want any chance of it working again.
>>46772557
You should've removed the heatsink too, smartass.
>>46772736
How easy are they to get?
>>46772710
Unlikely to function, though there's no telling what'll happen, you might get lucky and it still works perfectly. Put it in an old PC and tell us how it goes!
What could have been fucked on it? Could be anything at all. After submitting it to high temperatures, trying to figure out exactly what's wrong is like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack.
Surprised this isn't troll thread, lol.
>>46772757
Putting it in with a heat sync that looks like it's someones impregnated robot fetish won't cause it to overheat and die instantly?
>>46772557
install gentoo
>>46772779
>sync
Stop that.
Just put the card on ebay WITHOUT THE HEATSINK as non-working. If they see the heatsink in that condition they'll know you're a tard who made it worse.
Should have put some butter on that bitch first.
>>46772754
You fucked it.

dude, it's done for
just be glad it's an old card you didn't pay for
>>46772557
you fucked up
you aren't supposed to pass above 200ºC for 8 mins. with the oven already preheated to that temp
It's
It's
Working
Using generic graphic driver downloading new one but I think it may be working
i'm glad you are doing this.
>>46772557
Holy shit dude everyone knows that if you rapidly cool hot glass or metal it explodes.
Did you not go to school?
Can't seem to get driver for it however fan seems to be going on it, slowly as well so not overheating.
Trying to get driver now but seems to be working. Or at least fan is

WTF am i reading
I'm sure the card is garbage now. Maybe a quick fix is putting it in the microwave. Take the model number, divide it by 30, and that's the number of seconds you need to microwave it for!
>>46772964
lol nice one :^)

Sure it may work, but without a working heatsink it will just shutdown under any amount of load.

If that's true then not for long. Without heat sync it will overheat and catch fire after some minutes.
Op here
It works
Somehow
Even with pregnant heat sync it running at 32 degrees
Going to benchmark now
>>46773123

Guy has a B85 mobo, hes clearly got a cheap build and a non oc cpu why spend money on a aftermarket cooler.
I rescued a whole motherboard with the oven trick once.
I put the mobo and a graphic card together and only the mobo survived.
Couldn't enter in the kitchen for a week though
That smell, metallic, the kind of smell you dont want to get inside your body if you are afraid of getting cancer. I guess is very close to what astronauts in the ISS describe as the smell of space
>>46773244
ahahaha

Why would you put the entire thing when reflowing only requires the PCB board? More specifically the actual processor not the entire board
>>46773313
>PCB board
>Printed Circuit Board board
200% triggered.
>>46773256
You do know that solder contains lead? And that solder is inside the oven and you are cooking with a toxic smell
>>46773325
Its common to say PCB board
>>46773337
Many people have eaten in my kitchen and gone onto lead healthy lives
>>46773362
Why would you consume lead vapors? The oven trick should be frowned on
>>46773034
/^!/
>>46773337
This whole solder reflow thing started because the quality of solder went down... because they stopped using lead based solders.
>>46773369
>lead vapors
>oven
>>46773385
>started because the quality of solder went down
Or improper heating and protection against said heat? And many owners do not think about proper GPU cooling

>runs cooler with a damaged heatsink
>>46773422
Lead free is easier to mass produce because of the low temp requirements when manufacturing
>>46773448
well i wouldent say its "damaged" its litrally blown like a ballon or something
>>46773337
The boiling point of lead is far greater than the temperature an oven will reach.
>>46773424
>literally retarded
>>46773453
> low temp requirements
usually lead free would require higher temps
>>46773464
Forgot to put lead-free solder vapors
>>46773469
Plastics have a lower melting point
>>46772797
Well, it syncs the GPU temperature to the air temperature.
>>46772557
Why would you bake it in the first place wtf
>>46773489
Lead free requires lower temperature requirements
Lead requires high temps but that comes at a cost
>>46772557
You're supposed to remove the cooler entirely you dumb fuck
>>46773441
Fo real?
>>46773441
Post pic of it running inside the case plox
>>46773516
Am I misunderstanding your post or do you have that backwards? When I use lead-free solder it takes higher heat to melt than regular lead/tin solder.
>>46773362
>lead healthy lives
underrated post
>>46773516
I seem to recall it being the opposite but i could be wrong, it has been many years since i did any serious soldering.
>Will the card work still
mfw
>>46773507
Baking a card partialy melts the wires that are used for either data transport or power and thus baking a card can fix the problem.
Wires on a vidcard can break from warming/cooling cycle of starting up the comp, play gaems and shutting down the comp or from short circuits (powerspikes).
>>46772557
>use canned air to spray and cool down
How did you even manage to graduate high school?
>>46773586

>>46773611
The US education system is a joke, they rush as many retards through as possible.
>>46773414
if you sell a stock gpu, it's stock fan should be adequate enough to cool any stock usage.
If the heatsink/fan combo they provided doesnt work well enough then we have a problem.
>>46773607
So they are melted in order to connect after breaking, like soldering?

He was talking about wires on a video card, and the only wires on a video card I can think of are the ones coming from the heat sink, but those are not present when baking a card unless you're OP. I assumed he was talking about the traces/solder points, so I decide to poke fun at him for the misnaming.

>>46772557
This is one of those threads, huh.
>>46773618
The primary difference between tin/lead and lead-free solders, from a rework and repair standpoint, is the temperatures required to form a proper intermetallic bond. For the most widely used tin/lead alloys such as Sn60 Pb40 or more commonly Sn63 Pb37 (eutectic), the melting point is 361°F (183°C). The most commonly used lead-free alloy, Sn96.5 Ag3.0 Cu0.5, commonly referred to as SAC 305, has a melting point of 422°F (217°C) to 428°F (220°C). The resultant increase in melting point will have the effect of reducing the overall process window and can change the traditionally accepted appearance of the finished product.

This is almost as great as that guy who couldn't get his CPU unstuck from the heatsink so he decided to fucking set it on fire, and the whole thing burned and all the old thermal paste was destroyed.
Then he tried using the processor and it fucking worked.
Is setting things on fire the new 'hit it until it works'?

>>46775119
don't be an idiot there no reason that card cant work
baking does work. not all the time. not the most recommended ether but i CAN work. i have done so myself 7 times now and 5 of them have been functioning flawlessly. the other 2 still work however showed no improvement. however i did have the common sense to remove the fans and the cooling system in it entirety.
>>46784774
actually i got my xbox 360 back from the dead using the same method. obviously you need to remove all plastic stuff and both heatsinks. and use insulation to protect stuff you dont want to bake. (on the xbox you usually go fo the GPU)
>>46784825
do you know what the problem was that the baking could have fixed? all i ever hear about the shitbox is how it overheats. and to fix that it was a thermal paste issue that needed replacing. also i never really insulate anything i just have some special legs i made to keep it off the pan and keep it even. other then that i dont know what else i can do to increase the success rate of the baking but most the card fix are high end newer models and i get them dirt cheap so its worth the gamble.

You're one lucky son of a gun OP.
Nvidia cards confirmed to still run cool after being baked and having their heat sink removed. It's over AMD is finished.
>>46784860
no dude, my box was one of the first models, the issue with these was that the BGA solderings broke by the intense heat the GPU reach. they improved the air intake flow and throw better heatsinks inside on later models, but the launch models were all doomed to failed by the same issue.
>>46784774
>don't be an idiot there no reason that card cant work
besides the fact that the heatsink was supposed to be removed and not to explode along with the card
