Oven Baking a 6870 - [Success!] (And more cards!)

OneMoar · May 26, 2015

if it boots its probably not a hardware problem might just need to be re-flashed heat affects the NAND more then anything

Mussels · Feb 16, 2016

just followed this thread again to recover a dead 5870 1GB. Worked fine

SnakeDoctor · Feb 16, 2016

My 560 lasted about 3-4 months after baking, had to rebake again a month ago increase the oven temp 10c . Seem to be running fine for now

Upgrade time is due

Mussels · Oct 9, 2016

time to try again with a 5870 and 6850

5870 was black screening in games, 6850 green artifacting in BIOS

Toothless · Oct 9, 2016

I smell smoke.

Recon-UK · Oct 9, 2016

Oh nice!

I like to see this stuff lol, anyone oven baked a Fermi GPU?

Mussels · Oct 9, 2016

the smoke was due to laziness and not cleaning the tray, you can ignore that.

They're cooling down now, we'll see how they go in about 15 minutes. One catch is that the 6850's fans have a severe rattle, so even if the baking fixed it, thats only part 1.

Mussels · Oct 9, 2016

no luck - the 5870 is still blanking out (even before hte OS now) and the 6850 still has green artifacts (at least it reaches windows now)

Oh well, cant fix em every time.

How much was your baking temperature

about 215-220C, hard to tell with an analogue dial. slightly hotter than i've succesfully used in the past since my first attempt on this 5870 did not work either.

And yeah forgot to ask for how many minutes ?

12 minutes, then heat+ fan off to let it simmer in the residual heat for a while.

to cheer you up from the GPU fails, heres what i did next: a GT240 with an accelero S1

57C load, totally passive in an open air test bench

Mussels · Dec 5, 2016

about to attempt this on an EVGA 670 2GB that works perfectly with no drivers installed, but BSOD's or reboots the system once they're installed

taking pics, i'll upload when its all done. Interestingly, this card looked full size at first glance - but its downright tiny once disassembled.

I must see the after pics.

the during pics will be the exciting ones, as i cant be stuffed re-attaching the shroud and stuff to see if it worked, it'll be ghettod up with a 120mm fan during testing

edit: hah it worked! i'm running heaven on the card now, previously i couldnt even get the desktop stable with drivers installed. pics will be uploaded shortly, once i reassemble the card.

Melvis · Dec 5, 2016

I have used a heat gun on a 4870 1GB of mine and it works for a day of gaming then the next day it has to be reheated again for it to work again, might oven bake it one day and that might fix it for good.

Seems to be a trend with AMD cards here lol

Toothless · Dec 5, 2016

I really really want one of your baked cards @Mussels

Mussels · Dec 5, 2016

Size comparison between a windforce 2 (custom mussels fan solution) and EVGA 670 2GB. PCB difference is huge, then EVGA made the cooler shroud bigger to even them out for some unknown reason.

card works, what can i say?

peche · Dec 5, 2016

i have a GTX 660 which is giving me hard time, dont supports drvier, i install the card on the PC without drivers and it its recognized by bios and shit, when i install drivers computer does not show any signal....or video

qubit · Dec 5, 2016

It's weird, a lot of these cards seem to have failures which show up when the drivers are installed, or the resolution is turned up. I'd like to know why.

Because HW acceleration kicks in. Thus triggering to use internal card resources - VRAM and all compute/controller blocks at the supposed P state.

peche · Dec 5, 2016

well, should i bake that 660?

Mussels · Dec 5, 2016

peche said:

yes. use the instructions on page 1 of this thread - 210-215C, 12 minutes.

All removable parts removed, all plastic parts covered in foil. take pictures.

if you're considering baking, its because the cards already unusable.
