I tried this with an old Socket 754 motherboard. After about 5 minutes at 380 degrees, the capacitors started exploding like popcorn. One actually blew itself off the board. Needless to say, that board is now "fixed".
You're kidding... it really works now??
holy shit.
I fixed my AMD BE-2350 by using a Micro-Jet Torch on the top of the cpu for 5 mins. then I let it cool down for 5 mins then tried it. AND IT WORKS![]()
damn, nice.

Only if I did a video showing I wasn't kidding.
Time to find an other CPU to test this on.
Dude, you're joking, right?
What was wrong w/the cpu?
To the OP, thank you so much!!!!
So again, thank you VERY MUCH!!! I now have a pretty good gaming card which cost me nothing!![]()

I've done it too for my half-dead video card that kept giving a No signal input after a few seconds of starting the machine. It worked wonders and now I can stick with it until I upgrade to a new system that I wanted to do anyway in a few months... BUT NOT NOW.
Here's a *short* video I made if anyone wants to see the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7jUqoKVY-k
nice vid. short and easy to follow.

You made that beat? Right on!
Oh yea.. many years ago. Didn't want to get in any copyright thing. Are we being off topic? >_>
Wait a sec, don't the female connectors melt with that?

I thought I was supposed to have my pants down while watching the video... only to find out it was just about a video card.
Question for you guys. Anyone tried overclocking their cards after the bake? I'm hesitant to do so, because I'm extremely happy this thing even works, so I'm not sure I want to push my luck until I'm ready to buy a new card.
OMG! It worked! My 8800GTS 640mb recently started crashing my PC like crazy and I got blue lines running across my screen with distorted visuals and characters even during POST. Well some dude on AT linked me here, I followed the guide and VOILA! Card works like new! Thank you sooo much! you, or whoever thought of this 1st is the craziest, sickest, haxxor alive.
** I took pictures during the whole process so they are available upon request if anyone needs a reference to their 8800GTS 640mb from EVGA.

I saw this when it got Dugg a while back, About a week before this thread started, my 8800GTX developed "faulty vram" apparently. Anyways, I saw this but was hesitant to do this to my only card.
Since then I have had a GTX 260 and I felt that today was the day I was going to try this.
To my suprise, it worked! My oven is a gas one however, so with that in my mind. I baked my video card for 6 minutes at gas mark 5.5
Some nice pics for you!![]()
