was this method even meant to work? lol
it has been known to breath some life back into older nvidia 8800-9800 models before
never heard of it being tried on a 5770 though, shoulda tried RMA with the manufacturer

Nvidia cards seem to roast fine in the oven.

While lead based solder melts below 200, Lead-free solder melts at around 220...

You forgot the olive oil and crushed black peppercorns

Do you know roughly what temp a re-flow oven would normally be? I would have thought a lot of heat for a short amount of time would be far easier on the components as opposed to low heat for a longer amount of time...

it certainly does work, as only last week i cooked my Nv8800gts 320 and my brothers Nv8800gts 512 and both now work. 8 mins @190c but that was in an fan assisted electric oven. my brother was really doubtful about it working, but i kept telling him that it has been known to work, but even I'm surprised that both cards now work.
The only things that are physically damaged are the capacitors. I'm going to search for replacements and solder them in and see if it gives it a breath of life 
OCUK wouldn't replace it after 2 attempts of RMA, XFX RMA is rubbish (fact). So I attempted this...
I've seen success on 200 series cards and 4000 series ATI cards so I thought it might of worked on my 5770 but I guess the capacitors were a cheaper quality :/

Normal operating temp for them.
ROFL!

Send it back now, I'm sure it won't come back 'no fault found'

Hah!
That said, they could use parts that are made to withstand higher temps, eg 105degree C rated caps...
Can anyone comment on whether there is any danger from baking cards/mobos in terms of noxious or poisonous fumes being released? I baked a laptop mobo last night as it was artifacting so bad it wouldn't even boot windows and one of the connectors fell off as it was cooling, so I will have to do it again tonight to stick it back on, however, it didnt smell great....
