i kinda konfuse here,as im not an electronic stuff guy.
why do u need to do the o/heating trick to melt the gpu/cpu solder connection? is it just because to ensure the thermal paste thermally in contact with the heatsinks?  |

QUOTE(DjiNn @ Feb 2 2008, 04:26 AM) the GPU got "cold joints" so you need the trick to "melt it" to make it contact to the motherboard. Ooo..so its like that.. but if the joints cacat, no matter how many times you "overcook" you still won't be able to revive it.   i'm doing my overcook tis nite..hope that it'll comes alive with 5 mins o/cook..  can i exchange motherboards only?  will it be playable? |
