Question How long a GPU last after rebailling/reflow

[myzzk]

I wan't to know how long it will last, if it will be "as new" or will handle only few months... Bexause I want to buy a used one, and in my city they sell some gpu's that have been repaired cheaper

Are you talking an official "reflow"? Or the 'oven method'?

If the oven method, nobody can really say - it doesn't get near hot enough to truly reflow. It's a bandaid at best, and that may last a couple of days/weeks/months.

A true "reflow" is essentially redoing what happened during manufacture, and should last a fair time.

It's the oficial reflow, so it will last "like new", or at least close to that? Like, for years?

Truly reflowed, it should last a good amount of time. Should be years, if done properly. Depends on the age of the cards in question though, if they're already pretty dated, it won't matter how long the reflow will last if the card will be near obsolete...
