I wonder where are the times when people actually used good graphics cards mainly for gaming purposes ;-)

That's soooo old skool.

Nothing special when reassembling it, and the hashes have now settled back down to where they were before it fried. So it was just a short lived boost, unfortunately.

Only thing is, I have done this with graphics cards before and they rarely have much of a life left in them after the oven treatment. If I get the rest of the month out of this, I'll be happy enough.

Rit.

Yeah, I had a laptop several years ago and when the video card died, I tossed it into the oven and it worked for about a month. I actually tried it again when it died a second time and it lasted for almost an additional two weeks. Didn't work the third time though. Ha!

Hope your card lasts you until you get some replacements!
