Resurrection!!

[gkanakis]

So Sunday was Easter.

So what is one to do?
Eat ham?
Find Easter Eggs?
Eat Chocolate?
Yes to all!
But I chose to "raise the dead" pun intended.

I desided to bake my GTX 280 that went down a few months back.
To my surprise, IT WORKS!!
It folds and I can play games with no issues.
Thanks to FrEaKy for the post link in a thead!!!!

That's awesome. Which baking method did you use, BTW? Thinking of trying it with one of my cards.

Amen

that is crazy how that works!

I wouldn't expect the card to hold up for very long, maybe a year at most. But good on you!

 

[tanderson]

a year is still a significant gain over it being dead.

I used the 385 deg for 8 min method.

Well if it last 365 days at 8500 PpD that's a little over 3.1 million points!
I'll take that!

If this ever happens to me I'm going fire up my Weber grill and toss in a few mesquite chips.

I just bought back the 280 you sold me back in November. I traded it to a friend for a 285, then bought it back a couple weeks ago, lol. I bought it off your for $155, traded it +$30 for a 285, then bought it back for $100, so I basically got the 285 for $130, lol.
