Tried baking a dead ATI 5770 (bad results :D)

Nvidia cards seem to roast fine in the oven.

and by themselves

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....

I have some experience with this type of electronics and no way in hell would I do this in my own oven. You will be releasing all sorts of nasty's.

Find and electronic firm with a reflow oven, it shouldn't cost more than an hour or two's overtime.

caps are cheap and very easy to solder on with basic skills.

I'd rather do it with a heatgun than with an oven.

Bet it sounded like very expensive Popcorn

Still under warranty, but I sent it back twice and each time they said it was fine! Gave up and tryed baking it to fix the artifacting Guess the oven was too hot... :L

So was it dead or just artifacting? There's a big differance.

say u had already done it in ur oven, would it need a clean after b4 next use for more conventional cooking?

+1 for the heat gun, i did a YLOD fix on my ps3 with one and it works a treat it's also worth getting some no clean liquid flux as well, i'm going to give it a go with a dead laptop i have with a dodgy nvidia gpu (hp dv6000)

I recently roasted my old 8800 gts 320mb that died, artifacting everywhere. Went in for 8 mins at preheated 200 degrees and i'm currently playing bad company 2 and metro 2033!

Will only last for a few months, then i'll have to replace it

I might have to try that on my 8800 since I could use a card for Physx
