[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1919593, member: 56379"] It is more risky putting the whole logic board into the oven...but folks that have reflowed the GPU on portable computers (laptop computers) do it...they put the whole portable computer logic board into the oven (since many times even dedicated GPU's on a portable computer are not on a separate board). Trying a DIY reflow in an oven is definitely very risky...and if someone does it (especially for the 1st time)...you might as well go into it with the idea that it's going to fail (since there's a high probability it will). The professional method of reflowing a GPU is much much more controlled & precise...using professional equipment that costs thousands of dollars. If the DIY oven method does happen to come out as a success...then it's time to buy a lottery ticket!;) Nick [/QUOTE]
