BarbaricSoul · Jan 14, 2010, 02:58 AM

Anyone with experience doing this, alittle advice please. I have a 8800gt that's not working I'd like to try to use as a physX card

I heard that the freezer can also fix it.

350-400F 10min. just watch it take the shroud and stuff off too try and leave the cooler on if you cant its ok but the pressure might help with the reflow. though the TIM should be replaced after. remember to preheat

codyjansen · Jan 14, 2010, 03:05 AM

what does the oven do to the card? besides heat it

sneekypeet · Jan 14, 2010, 03:07 AM

melts the solder to hopefully lets it reflow on a broken connection in hopes to revive dead or dying parts.

definately take the heatsink off, you wouldnt want anything plastic (like fan wires) to melt

GOOD POINT

Solaris17 · Jan 14, 2010, 03:29 AM

exactly thats why i had said to remove the shroud. but then i was like well but then the fan is bolted in and their are probably plastic washers F-that nvm. my thought process was much like when i did it to my xbox leave the HS on and it will be applying pressure during the heating process upping your chances of success.

epic fail

BarbaricSoul · Jan 14, 2010, 03:42 AM

well it's got about 3 mins left. I doubt I'll be testing it tonight though. Getting late and I don't feel like taking my computer down to install it right now.

Why you say that? Card was already not working. If this don't work, it's not like I actually lost anything. Hell, I didn't even have to buy the card.

Solaris17 · Jan 14, 2010, 03:47 AM

w00t i hope it works out. and remember its mad hot dont put pressure on the power connector either it will be soft

BarbaricSoul · Jan 14, 2010, 03:48 AM

Card is out of the oven. I know I got it hot enough, I could smell the card before I actually entered the kitchen. The solder looks like it's melted alittle, so if a solder joint is the issue, it should work. Right now the card is outside in 25'f temps cooling off.

Can anyone give me a diagram for making a dummy dongle for the 8800 just incase this worked.

BarbaricSoul · Jan 14, 2010, 03:54 AM
