Baking gpu

[Kamjam21xx]

Currently baking my gpu, will update and tell if it worked.

tell us how it taste

A bit too hot to eat at the moment. Now i wait..... 

 

Honestly i dont know how to tell if started to flow.

[hardtofindinthefuture]

Tell me again why you did this?

[Kamjam21xx]

Its an old Sapphire HD 5850 that stopped working. I has software recognize it was there, but not what it was. 

 

Information on everything came up, except the gpu. So i assumed its probably from micro cracks thay i made worse the last time i cleaned it. 

 

I plan to use it and designate it to certain softwares. Maybe see if its bridgeable with what i got now.

Reminder that you will never be able to use that oven for cooking again, unless you clean with basically strong acid.

Ill use oven cleaner on it. Not a prob. + i live next to Dow, so we already got higher cancer rates anyways.

[Kamjam21xx]

Well, sadly it did not work. Amd catalyst recognizes some for of amd card is plugged in. But it says it has 256 rops and 0.4 mhz gpu clock and some other weird stuff. 

 

0 Tmu

 

It also stays at a steady -31,767c so its nice and cool. No video output.

 

Edit: probably gonna bake it again, after some trouble shooting.

[Kamjam21xx]

UPDATE: my computer randomly shut itself off, restarted it... and... my 5850 that i left in my extra pcie slot, magically started working again.

 

Its voodoo.

 

Also, i guess it wont let my 5850 and 7970 work side by side.

its a a way to fix broken elections that are broken due to the solder on the PCB or other issues like that, it pretty much just melts the solder and you hope it fixes the issue

[Toysrme]

Next time:
seriously wrap the caps with aluminum foil so they dont overheat
set it in a room temperature oven
set a timer to 15 minutes
turn the oven on to 450*F
pull it out at 15 minutes from when pre-heating starts


Unless you have a horribly slow oven, that'll get it hot enough to re-flow the solder, but be quick about taking it out of the oven.

Hopefully there wont be a next time anytime soon. Im really suprised it worked.  

 

The Sapphire HD 5850 lives again. Unfortunately it isnt working in crossfire with the 7970 thats in the computer in giving to my girlfriend. 

 

Its running windows 7 though. Might i just need windows 10 to make it work in crossfire?

[Toysrme]

It should work in win7, understand that crossfire has horrific microstudder issues that will never be solved so long as AMD continues traveling up & down the PCIe bus instead of making a dedicated card to card communication. As long as your CPU is fast, nvidia mostly solved their issues with microstudder in SLI back with Kepler.

7970 handles any games she would play. It would be for gpu accelerator tools like photoshop and illustrator, which i feel a workstation card to handle vectors might help. But truth be told, idk if those softwares would make use of it.

Please do not do this.  Baking a GPU does resolve soldering issues that affect a small portion of GPU's, but there's a much greater chance of messing up an otherwise fixable video card.

 

I blame this kind of cinnamon-challenge and tide-pod levels of viral insanity on Youtube channels that do stupid these things like this for views.

A 5850 is not fixable. It's a $20 graphics card when working and would cost at least $150 to fix. It's a paperweight. If you don't care about your oven, you have nothing to lose.

Its useless for gaming now due to vram, not gpu accelerated softwares as it still pumps out 2.7 terraflops on its own.

 

To put that in perspective, an rx580 maxes out at 2.6 terraflops.

 

So the raw computing power of an HD 5850 is .1 terraflops faster than a 150$ card. Its not fast but if i can get it working with this other card at all, the extra rig will be sittinf up there with $500 cards today minus 2gb of vram. 

 

Im trying to get my existing hardware as fast as i can before i dump 4.5k in my new workstation, and give this away.

 

Edit: woops rx580's are $350-400 my bad

Uh, where are you getting these numbers? The HD 5850 is not a 2.6 TFLOPS card. Also, it cannot crossfire with anything other than another 5850, 5870, or 5970.

My bad, i read the 5870 one. Either way, its still useful. 

 

Ill exhaust all options to get it so i can use the 2 seperately on 2 softwares at once. I have a problem of not believe things arent possible when people try to tell me they are. 

 

It leads to solutions once in a while.

 

Edit: reminds me of when DX10 came out and people still wanted to use their dx9 cards because they were faster than the dx10 cards.

rx580's can do around 6TFLOPs ...

Small reminder that you cannot use TFLOPS to compare cards. 1 Polaris TFLOPS is not the same as 1 Terascale2 TFLOPS. Their architectures are completely different.

[Kamjam21xx]

Ive been up all night. I should probably stop looking at numbers. Im obviously not capable of reading right now.

Where are the proofs that show that there's enough "bad things" in a GPU that when vaporised/heated will do damage to a human?

Ya know idk, tbh i didnt clean it and cooked a pizza right after in it. 

 

The take away is just that it worked, so thats another point for baking your gpu.

I didn't mean that a working 5850 is useless. I meant a broken one is useless and not worth paying to fix. May as well bake it
