Bake a GPU

[wickedry]

best way to do it is to use alluminum tape to go arround the gpu then heat it with a heat gun for about 10-15 seconds moving the heat gun in a slow circular motion about 1 inch away from the gpu then put the heatsink back on while its still hot and wait for it to cool after that your in business
ive used this method hundred of times not only on desktop gpus but laptop gpus as well
