I just cooked my asus 8600 gts graphic card
 

Well my old asus 8600 gts graphic card just died on my today!

It starts showing lines and bad graphic all over monitor!

So i cooked the bitch in the oven in 200 degrees Celsius for about 10 min! :winkwink:

Then i cooled down and put the bitch back in my computer!

And its working!

So first cook it! :1orglaugh

Just say the word! :)

It just crazy how you can fix many computers parts by that method,i had same problem with my hp netbook but i already sold it as old scrap.I guess dude which bought it know it for that trick.

Congrats :thumbsup

Exactly....i cooked Dell mobo few years ago......and it also worked!

The main thing is that you don't fucked up on timing!

well done.hope you wont cook it in near future again :pimp

How long did you use it for?

Yeah...i hope so too.:winkwink:

Not sure....but at list 3-4 years.

Wow, that's a long-ass time for a video card to last! What is that, 2006? 2007? Got your money's worth and then some, especially since you were able to bring it back to life.

That is short.

I took it from a friend.....he use it before that, so i guess its 5-6 years old!

It's old enough that for sure!

What is it suppose to accomplish? Melt solder enough to fix broken circuits or something?

My video card from 2009 gave out last week.

From heating and cooling in time the connections in circuits will get weak or brake.

And the only way you can re-establish those connections is by heating card or mobo

in 10 to 12 minutes.

And hope for the best!

well thats a true story, well part of it, i never cooked a graptic in the owen, but we (me and some friends who have machines) cooked many graphic cards, basically chips to 200 degree, with some machine i dont know english name, but its like a hair fan, just used for furniture and can heat up to 400 degree. when card starts freezing or showing lines or render bad picture, just heat it, touch chip with needle gently, and it will work again untill overheat.

Am I the only one who first thought the subject of this was "I just cooked my anus"? :upsidedow

Speaking of cooking. I recently returned a 5 month old 280X that shot out sparks just before the PSU shut everything down automatically. Something in the power regulator area was disintegrating, and the fan flung out the red hot bits. I've never seen a computer component do that, neither had the guy who did the return. Very lucky that I was there, and the PSU shut down.
