I'm getting another 320mb G80 8800GS that I'm trying to repair and OVP mod and if I get that done I have a pretty crazy idea that I think will work. I'll post pics later depicting what Im thinking but pretty much this is what I've concluded.
The 320mb 8800GS has space for 2 more memory chips. There are balls of solder on the pads where these chips would go. On the back of the PCB there are only around 6 SMRs that would need to be added to activate the use of those memory location.
Pretty much how could I go about reflowing the Samsung memory chips off my old dead card to my new card. I tried prying them off and this ruins the solder pads on those cards. I tried it with a razor blade: same thing. I don't know anyone with a reflow kit or whatever so I doubt that is an option. Could I possibly bake my old card in the over and get it at a temp where the solder should melt and take the memory chips off this way? Then, what would be the best way about reapplying it, just putting it on so the bad line up and use some adhesive along the edges?
could this even work in theory?
