Zombiefying your dead GPU

Fretz

I simply had to share this with you guys, thought you might appreciate something as mad as this:

Quote:

“Bake it in the oven,” he said to me. What in the world was he talking about?

“Bake the card in the oven,” he restated.

“…does that actually work?” I inquired.

“I wouldn’t be suggesting it if it didn’t,” he replied.

And with that, I was preheating the oven to 385°F.

Sorry about that, didn't find anything with search. And since the article is from yesterday, I thought it hadn't been posted yet.

If the card is dead, you got nothing to lose.

As for the thread, i've seen like 3 or 4 similar threads here on the guru.

Yeah, trhough the same when was reading "Placing a near and dear piece of hardware that once cost me $550 into a frigging oven just feels wrong."

If is dead the value is zero.

if there is one thing i have learned from the anime "Full Metal Alchemist" its that the dead are better off dead ... so if my GPU dies i ain't never bringing it back to life cause i will fear a hardwareculus taking its place somewhere else around the world

i do admit it felt really funny,and it was hard not to laugh about it when telling about it to friends.
