It worked 100%. I initially tried hair dryer, but I think the heat wasnt enough, so heated up the oven to full (People thought I was gonna cook something, cake anyone?), took a glass borosil dish, removed the heatsink, cleaned up the card of all dust etc with a brush, removed the thermal paste, and popped it in.

I kept opening it every minute to see if I could smell solder. By the 6th minute I could, so I turned the oven off, took the dish out using oven mitts, let it cool normally (no fan), an hr later put it in the rig... and we have liftoff

Yes, heated oven to 250 degrees settings and did all the above.

I am typing from my rig running the same card even now.

^Woah, congrats on getting the card resuscitated.

TechHead you listening? Get my 4850's ass into your oven ASAP! :lol:

On a serious note, what does this trick do exactly? Kinda resolder all the components on the circuitry?
