Graphics Card Reflow Failed. Is there a way to Fix?

[ammarahmed6506]

Hello,
I have a gtx 760 and it stopped working. I tried to reflow it in an oven @ 385F.

After 2 to 3 minutes the capacitors started to blow off the gpu board so turned the oven off and pulled out the gpu.
I know that new capactiors could be installed but the main problem which scares me is the Main GPU chip which has swollen here and there.
Will it still work if new capactors are installed or its trash now?

Anybody help?

Most likely trash now. Do not attempt any repairs, you might make situation even worse.

before you did the reflow you should have check to see if the card had any type of warrnaty. some of the older gpu used to have life time warranties.As it stands now you have a very large paperweight. your better off tossing the failed gpu and buying a new unit.

Since you decided to bake it, which is normally a last resort measure when you have nothing to lose, this means that it was faulty even before baking. It is even more faulty now, and no, there is no way to fix it, at least not by yourself, heck even professionals would have hard time to do so. If it is possible at all, multiple heat damages can be hard to find and cases like this are usually hopeless.

Get a new card.

Sounds like its totally dead. I would just replace it with a new one, or used card.

when this happens we should be able to send the user a t-shirt with easy back over and a melted gpu in the easy bake over
