This is a very simple version! You can use this guide to attempt to repair a card that has failed.
*Note* This guide will not repair damage done by ESD, abuse, stupidity, water damage, or alien attack. It mainly can be used to fix cards that are experiencing artifacts due to cold soldier or cracked solder due to overheating.
1. Take apart the card, remove heatsink, all thermal paste (get that sucker CLEAN!)
2. Once down to the bare card, put on a cooking pan, on foil. and try to lift the card with 4 foil balls on the corners so its a bit off the sheet, GPU down!
3. Preheat oven to 385-400. I usually do 385 first and if it doesnt work, I will try 400. Make sure your ovens thermometer is accurate. Let it fully pre heat, set a timer for 10 mins, and bake your card for 10 mins.
4. Take card out of oven, and let it cool off for 15-30 mins. I try to let it sit as long as possible.
5. Reassemble card, be mindful to cover all spots necessary with thermal paste and thermal pads.
6. Install into computer
7. Profit!
