depends on who owned it before... a noob, or a versatile electric craftsman, a master of the soldering iron?

i bet it will be a good choice for that! i also made a mistake, Nvidia are the ones with the hard solder. the ati went liquid at about 200 degrees i guess, at least the last card i soldered, a x1900 or sth like that, had very soft solder. should be easy to reflux

EDIT: you got it from Greasemonkey, so i bet it wont be no cake to get it to run
i literally can smell the hot,steamy solder :P

no i meant, you "will have to bake it" with that
sounds like a plan to do, just protect you breathing organs, with a cloth or sth like that,alright? ;-)
dont you have an ABC mask ? i even have one, Bundeswehr stuff, even with a sealed and fresh filter, for emergencies ;-)
