Hi, i just bought the 03G-P4-6166-KR for a cheap price, the seller claim that is not working, but worked some time agoo and now he say that is on "electrical cut", should i try the oven ? or the evga warranty?

If its under warranty, you should definitely try that first. Don't just throw it in an oven.

You should try the EVGA warranty, if it is active you could get GeForce GTX 1060 replacement.
If you try the oven first, all bets are off.

Use the warranty first before you mess around with it. Oven baking generally won't fix the problem with dry joints, all the flux that lets the solder flow properly between the components and the PCB will have been cleaned off in the manufacturing process and baking it in an oven will not resolder dry joints it will just wet the solder and might give you a temporary fix.

This all does make me wonder why the original seller didn't get it replaced under warranty.

because i live in argentina and the gpu dont have the paper with serial number, but i think can be acccepted without it

No, I meant the person you bought it from - if they had replaced it under warranty, they probably could've asked more money for it.
