I have used solder that can be sweated in to a wire with a lighter but it is a weak connection and if the GPU can heat it to the flow point what is to stop it from doing it again when you are gaming and screwing everything up again My son in law has a 360 no RROD yet but he did have a heat issue for a while I told him to get the thing out of his entertainment center so it could breath and the heat issue was gone |
