Thought my video cards were toast and I was going to have to pony up at least $700 to replace them. :win:

If your video card is failing, it might not be a loss. I've done this before with a lot of success. Basically at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. I'd only try on a card you assume is a loss. Plenty of websites out there on how to do it, but it works :banderas: I've tried it with desktop and laptop video cards. Nvidia cards all of them.

If you're not used to working with computer components, don't try it!

Buy two 1080s (1070s?), but skimp on cooling brehs. :mjlol:


:flabbynsick:

:dahell:

  1. It's an Alienware laptop with great cooling.
  2. The video cards are probably 5 years old.
  3. The problem is cracks that start appearing in soldering joints. Does baking a card at 400 degrees sounds like it solves a cooling problem to you?

Soldering joints tend to break when the board bends. Or from bad joints. Both of which can be made worse as a result of a cooling problem. :hubie:

Not necessarily.

Depending on the specific composition of the solder used, cracks can appear within three years or so.

IMO I think many manufacturers use inferior grade solder in their consumer class devices. Never had that problem dealing with enterprise hardware. :win:
