Oven baked GPU... fail?

[yimello]

So I baked non working 8600GTS @200C for 10mins and this is what happened. Not sure are those things transistors, but they melted and opened. Should I even try it? Is it dangerous to put it in PC to try out? Pictures below in "spoiler"...

You should have done it for maybe 2-3 minutes. Solder melts around like 185C, all that's needed to reflow it. One cap already blew up, so the card is good as dead unless you start replacing them.

Don't plug this into your PC DONT

[Senzelian]

That'll totally work. You'll probably reach much higher overclocks now of over 2000Mhz... Definitly...  <_<

its a capacitor

You may try to buy new cap and replace it but the others may be damaged too.

Proper dead now. You could replace the caps and then use the card lightly but for something that old the best bet is to let it retire. Use it as a paper weight or something.

Bear in mind a 980 has 5.2 billion transistors... It's a capacitor BTW. It will not work (probably). You could try to get a new capacitor and solder it on, but in general it's not a good idea.

It's scrap now.

Don't try running it.

Thank you. I should remember that for later.

That capacitor is blown, and it is very unlikely it will work in that state, however if the solder reflow did work, then soldering a new capacitor should let you see if it works...

Ok, ty
