no offense, but man up and oven bake that board, apply your own paste, and enjoy. I mean the fix doesn't get much easier, you have excellent videos to watch, there is great support here, so save yourself the money and DIY, unless you like to get raped :/

if you actually want to fix it with a more permanent solution (reflowing with a heat gun really just warps the motherboard and only fixes the problem for a few months if that) you should find someone to reball the gpu for you.
btw, even though they are both pretty haggard fixes, the "over bake" method is FAR worse than the heatgun one. FYI. seriously, idk how anyone can actually recommend it. Last edited by afiser13; 12-11-2011 at 03:46 PM. |
