Strange green graphical artifacts.

Trevzor:   When baking a graphics card, you are re-flowing the solder for the processor chip. The processor on the card can and does run at ~100 degrees C,  but the rest of the card is not generally that warm.   By placing your card in the oven, you will re-flow the solder, but you run the risk of overheating and destroying the capacitors on the card. The biggest issue with standard ovens in the home is that they do not tend to hold an exact temperature. You will set your oven to ~200 degrees Fahrenheit but your oven will only keep that as an average temperature, ranging above and bellow 200 degrees. That and some oven's temperature gauge could be off. Setting the dial to 200 may yield an average temperature in your oven of 225, which means the high end range could spike higher than 250 (~ 121 C), which is far too hot for any graphics card.   This is not to mention that you are also putting potentially toxic materials into a hot box that, quite possibly, food is going to come out of later.   So, as stated before, even if you have the gnarliest, most consistent oven ever, do this at your own risk and even if you do decide to do this, be ready to shell out for a new graphics card incase you completely brick your current one.   Thus concludes Cooking with Trevzor.
