Cpu temp in oven?

[Christopher_]

So I have this dead 3820 laying around and I thought I might try to bring it back to life with some oven magic.

 

but I am unsure of what temperature I should use (I'm guessing pretty high?)

 

this is is last resort as I will most likely have to replace it anyway.

 

any tips is appreciated

Uhhh... I don't think you can reflow a CPU like you can a GPU...

[MoonlightSylv]

IIRC this won't work with CPUs as there isn't any solder points an oven could fix.

It's worth a try tho right?....

 

do you think they use different solder? I don't think there should be much difference.

i would say preheat the oven to 220°C and put in a yet to be baked cake in it

I don't think it's worth a try is what I mean. Can you RMA the CPU?  Isn't there some kind of overclocker's insurance that Intel put out there some time ago?

Innit something about that method not actually reflowing, but fiddeling with the chip(s) themselves?

Well the thing is, it's just gonna be placed on a shelf somewhere or get trown away.

i do have a hot air station, that can get pretty hot. :'p

 

anyways my point is even if there is minimal chance it's still worth it as I could save myself 100$

Go for it if it's absolutely dead and have no warranty whatsoever! Will be waiting on this OP. Post Results!

Will try tomorrow, 250c under and overheat

If you do that then you aren't going to get an RMA.  All you're going to do is burn the parts.  When working on electronics like this you need to identify the actual issue.  focusing the heat of an oven directly onto an electronic is going to burn the electronic and its parts.  So, even if you managed to get "some life into it" you're just going to watch it die again.  Just send it for RMA so that a professional can fix it with the right tools.  If you burn it then you're just burning it, which won't fix it.  Think of it this way.  You're trying to cook a pizza longer, most likely burning it, to fix a lack of sauce.   It doesn't work that way is my point, and you're only risking damaging it more.

I am pretty sure Intel dosent offer rma for such old processors?

 

it died because of static, as my dumb brother touched the mobo somehow frying the cup itself

He already said he doesn't care about it and will end up just getting thrown away. I say: DO IT FOR SCIENCE!

But remeber, once you bake a CPU, the oven is a paperweight (unlesss you clean it really well, you can't bake in it anymore)

From what i know baking a gpu doesnt fix the actually core just the solder points with everything else. So its more like fixing the motherboard not the actual processor for you.

You're not going to fix the static damage by burning the processor in an oven.  Might as well just make a keychain out of it, but if you wanna burn it then alright.  There's really no temperature that will work.  So, that leaves you with them all.

Correct, no amount of heat, however vigorous, is going to repair the holes now blasted in the metal oxides in the transistors. It's dead Jim.

Well I'm 100% sure it's the cpu

 

what I don't know is if there is chance to send it to rma (witch I don't think as its 3 year limited warranty or whatever)

[Christopher_]

Soooo, it didn't work. As expected.

 

but here are some pictures atleast

Just get an E5 2670 for cheap on ebay. $60-$70 USD for an eight core hyperthreaded aandybridge cpu.

Was hoping this would somehow work. Anyway, thumbs up for SCIENCE!

Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 12 minutes, season to taste.
