The Full Video of what took place :
SUCCESS ! ! !
Me & my son both was happy. I made a bet with him that the card would still work after being in the oven. Let me tell you, When he saw me placing Foil on that cookie sheet & learned that i wasnt baking cookies & was baking my graphics cards he followed me threw out this hole process & sat to see the hole thing. Even reminded me when the 20 mins was up after baking it so i could install it.. Its like he doubted me or something..LOL Hes seen me do some crazy stuff even a oil cooled mods but this Graphics card in the oven business alone with good end result he said was just not happening. I said you'll clean the bathroom on Saturday if it worked. altho he lost Were both happy when the system boots A" OK! I was smiling so much my cheeks was hurting.. My Son Nickolas just has a look of SHOCK on his face.. lol "watch the video"

EXTRA'S
While i was at it, i went ahead & add'ed some new improved lights since i had already busted the system back wide open: :roll: Something i dreaded doing but i guess it paid off 8) I can now change the water color up to 6 different ways I like the multi colors my self. He is one of my new Fav's here

:? TROUBLE SHOOTING & PROBLEMS :x
Only issues i ran into was, The baked gpu displays no green led light as the other Gpu does that originally worked out of box. BEFORE YOU ASK no i didnt bake any of the plastic or sensors that was on the card. The light didnt come on before the bake & it still dosent come on after the fix. So whats this mean? umm nothing.. The card works fine, I've been running in sli now for bout a week with no issues. The green light not coming on dosent bother me one bit. Because i went from thinking i had a dead $400 dollor dead gpu on my hands with no warranty nor receipt to flash forwarding a week later to it being a working card in my system like i had originally planned when i freshly cracked it out the box. Far as am concerned i cheated death with this gtx 280.
