I baked a 8600gt, laptop mbs, gtx460, gtx470, 9800gx2, gtx295, gtx280, hd4870 and this r9 390x. I never did a stupid mistake like this. :s3d:
Well today I had to do the second bake, i was playing pubg and the screen went black... See how long it holds up this time
I just want to try this method, bake to the oven for the old gpu's (5750 and 5770) wish me luck, very curious at all ..
Hi there I baked recently my EVGA GTX1080 which has died, stupidly I lost backplate where serial number has been and EVGA didn't wanted to honour warranty and baked my GPU because I needed that GPU for rendering If baking in my case has been successful, I would say yes, GPU is working and my old OC on that GPU works beautifully and no issues in rendering, how long this will last not sure but I'm very happy to have GPU working for now Hope this helps Thanks, Jura
Yeah.., it's work for 5750 (HIS).., His back from the dead after three years.., tested playing mudrunner it's fine n normal... for 5770 (XFX) it's won't wake up.., have to bake again..
Master Passus after 2nd baked 5770 still no sign, i gueess it's totaly died still "62" in the debug code led, no display... well.., it's good experience at least one of the cards can be used again.. thanks,
Just an update to end this thread, 2 weeks ago I got a gtx 1060 so i put the 280 in the machine upstairs to live out it's days well 24 hours later it died which was the end of february So now I am going to turn into an ornament of some kind or maybe a 3d wall frame ect
That is because your not fixing it, your just buying yourself sometime is all. Then you'll have to bake it sooner n sooner as your just reflowing the old bad solder is all.
Yup thats why now its died again its not coming back lol It finally went to hardware heaven last week
It re-flows the solder temporarily fixing tiny cracks but eventually it gets weaker and weaker It did last quite a few months after the first bake but less after the second
