Can I resurrect this R9 280X?

Before I throw it away, it gives me an orange screen with lines after running a GPU stress test for about a minute.

Is it dead dead?

Only 1 way to try!

Ah yes, the old oven trick. Forgot about that...guess it couldn't hurt lol

Well, I cooked her for about 10 minutes at 375F. Been running the Heaven bench for over an hour now, no cashes...

I think Furmark is probably a lot more stressful, I bet it would crash. Sooo, maybe the GPU will be good for medium gaming?

In my experience, the oven trick will work for maybe a few months and then it will die again. Medium gaming until it dies seems like a good way to send it off.

The oven trick triumphs once again!

Never ceases to amaze me....
