watch the video.
The guy does motherboard component level repairs every day he knows what he is talking about.
that's a genuine solution though.
even if you went over it with a solder you'd probably miss the hairlines

Enjoy your cancer, fatty.

Electrical engineering wouldn't exist if soldering fumes were so bad, because everyone would have cancer day one
>>54753694
For a month or two then dies again, then it dies in a month, then it dies in a minute, and you still have a possibly cancerous oven.
>>54753788
You're right, there's no way that inhaling the lead solder fumes from lead solder could possibly be carcinogenic.
>>54753824
There's such a thing called a well ventilated area

Good meme, I baked my 8800 for like 3 years until I changed it. It still works.
>>54756800
sure it did
>>54753745
Manufacturers rarely use lead solder in consumer electronics becuase the harmful effect disposal of these devices leave on the environment, which sucks becuase the reason why these devices stop working in the first place is becuase the shitty tin solder manufacturers use instead of lead solder breaks apart after continuous exposure to high temperatures, like in OP's graphics card and tons of old PS3s
Educate yourself europoor
>>54753745
Delete yourself fucking euroembarrassment
>>54753610
did it with my 280 three times. first i worked for a week or two. then for 2 months. the last time it worked for over 3 years now.
>>54753878
>inside an oven
>well ventilated area
Enjoy the carciogenic residue on your next tray of pizza rolls, tubby.
>lead poisoning
aren't those the kind of lead-free soldering anyway?
I thought that is why they fail in the first place
Just don't do it in your kitchen's oven retards
>>54758106
>implying that solder is the only potentially-toxic substance on a graphics card PCB
Just go away, retard.
I did it some years ago with an old motherboard
that still works.
The kitchen smelled literally like cancer for a week.
I don't recommend.

How is temperature with this? Also, is the performance boost significant?

This, to a certain extent. All electronics sold in Europe must comply to the RoHS, which the US has since partially adopted.
As for the lead free solder being responsible for reduced life of components, it's just one small part in a much larger jigsaw. If it's done right it's not a concern. Early lead free NVidia cards (and all cards of some specific MacBook model that I can't remember right now) butchered the change to lead free, leading to the current public perception.
>>54753610
I have unstuck my HD by wrapping in plastic bag and putting overnight in freezer. Leave another day for it to slowly defrost. Works perfect again.
>>54753665
That's one of my favorite asshole kikes. Literally seen him 'oy vey' on a video before.
But honestly he would not have been pissed at OP unless he was selling it as a repair service or some shit.
Also reflowing may have fixed it, sometimes the solder joints go to shit and reflowing can honest to god fix that. But the kike in the video don't want you to know this so you will send your shits to him for repair. Why? Because he's a kike.

Too bad the fucking flux used in lead-free solder is even more toxic than leaded solder ever was.
>>54759418
This is why you always mix different drive brands. If you have 1 Seagate, 1 WD and 2-3 HGSTs you'd be fine in RAID 5. It's extremely unlikely that 2 drives from different manufactures would fail at the same time.
RAID 6 is pretty fuckin based, however.
I baked a GTX 280 and revived it. This was when GTX 580 was current.
Went to sell it locally for $20 and people in my shit town were low balling me on $20 ("will you take 15?"), so I destroyed it and threw it in the garbage.
Fucking assholes wouldn't pay $20 for a card faster than what you could get new $200 then.
>>54753610
I used to buy lots of broken GPU's and bake them and if they worked I sold them for idiotic profit.
Even if they didn't it didn't matter because I still had a great profit.
Good times.
>>54753610
I've baked cards with a charcoal grill a couple of times. Both times it worked, albeit only just temporarily. 1st time 6 months, 2nd time 2 months. I just wrapped tin foil around them and grilled them for 10 minutes.

it was a fucking baked piece of shit that was going to fail in a month you nigger I wouldn't have given you $5
>>54762329
I didn't tell anyone it was baked and it looked completely fine. I used it for a week out of curiosity. $20 was fair.
>>54762361
so you were trying to scam people
>>54762433
>$20
>>54762452
>keeping information to yourself about the product you're selling
>>54762329
But hes point is that nobody knew it was baked and they still wanted to get it cheaper whats retarded for a card that price, I'd get it if he was selling it for 80 bucks and people would have asked 75.
>>54762361
Hes point is that you still tried to scam people, a baked card ain't gonna last, fair enough you didn't ask much for it.
>>54759250
So says the guy who makes a living off "fixing" gpus by baking then in the oven, then selling them on eBay for a quick buck.
>>54753824
Lead doesn't evaporate at those temperatures. What's bad for your lungs is the flux residue that might fume
>>54753824
Nigga doesn't even know about ROHS. You can't sell shit with lead solder in the US.

PFFFT putting your GPU in an oven, my 290x goes in the oven for fun and then walks on the surface of the sun for shits and gigs.
>>54766177
Captain America is fictional, numbnuts.
>>54759250
Putting it in the oven doesn't reflow it though. You need more heat to melt that solder.
If the problem is the internal balls on a flip chip then doing this heating oven job likely just causes them to expand a bit and regain contact. It'll last X number of hot to cold cycles before it loses connection again.
It's not a fix. It is a bodge. It is like how you can stop a radiator from leaking by cracking a couple of eggs into it. It doesn't fix your radiator but it will stop the leak for a while, hopefully long enough you can limp to a garage to get it fixed.
>>54766355
eggs really?
Did the same to my 770, still working for 2 years.
>>54766438
Yeah. I am serious.
>>54766523
Not him but, I done that and It's a fucking pain to get rid of all the egg later from the system
>>54766255
Who'll ever guess that amd deliberately make their card over heat as a feature
>Uhh, dude your card is overheating
>NO IT'S REFLOWING ITSELF
>>54761526
No one is fine with raid 5 with multi TB drives. Have fun with your week long nail-biter of a rebuild, praying the users kill you because of the painfully slow raid before the anxiety of any parity errors does.
>>54766593
Sounds just like baking a graphics card then.
