When is the right time to "reball" a graphics card?

[christerlatosa]

Hi so I have a gtx-560 and these past days I noticed that when I play Insurgency or EU4 it goes garbage display, blue screen and restarts, It was never like this before, I assume it's because of overheating around 50 to 60 C, I disassembled my videocard and cleaned it, and it's still overheating, so I was wondering if "reballing" can still fix overheating videocard? Or it's a sign that my videocard has seen better days? Thanks in advance


My PC specs:
Asus P5G41T-M LX3
Sandisk 120gb SSD
GTX-560
4gb RAM DDR3
Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHZ

When is the right time to "reball" a graphics card?

Basically, never.

1. "50 to 60 C" is not overheating.

2. If "reballing" actually does change anything, it is only a temp fix. It will do the same in a few weeks.

3. If you do decide to do that, I hope you have a dedicated oven. I wouldn't want to eat out of an oven that had all that funk released into it.
