i baked my gtx970 in the oven and now when i bake 4 cookies i get only 3 and a half. What happened
xD try an titan then you get 12 cookies
XD
+AtgreatR9 don't worry! the fourth cookie just has a slower half, should be ready in about an hour!
+AtgreatR9 Wow. So funny. My sides. Ha /s
+AtgreatR9 nice
If you don't have an oven try picking up an old Fermi GTX 480 and place it in the adjacent PCIe slot. Just make sure you monitor the temperatures when running FurMark, you don't want to over do it.
Hardware Unboxed GTX 295 would be better.
i still have a gtx 480 took apart in my room cause of this reason... that damn thing.
or you could use an r9 295x2 and place the rad right next to it
@@fyggy5480 u know something...... The best thing he can do is a 690 in SLI.
@@fyggy5480 Titan Z would do the job alot better than all mentioned
Now we are doing overcooking instead of overclocking :D

Gold haha
I do this for 12 years now and I'm still not a father (I think)
I've done all this myself back in 2010 on 9800gtx+ TWO times after overclock. The 1st time there were some weard lines in POST and video not recognized in win7, the 2nd time the video was numb dead. Both times i preheated the oven at ~195 degrees Celsius while it was closed, opened it and put in the stripped videocard just like he prepared it on the tray with aluminium balls, and closed it fast so it doesn't drop the temp. And after 8min very gently got it out and put it on the side for 30-40min to cool down to room temp. Reassembled it and it still works totally fine even today 6 years later.
It's true this hack video card??
DanyDM yeah its true i doit with a gts 8800 and work perfect, obviusly you do not overclok after do this hack

you can actually benchmark a mini oven because Jamie prooved that on myth busters he got it upto 400c or probably more than that

7:32 aluminum foil has a reflective side because during manufacturing, 2 sheets of foil are rolled flat on top of each other. The shiny side is the side that was against the other sheet of foil, and the matte side is the side that was in contact with the rollers.
this is why amd is so good: they bake themselves

fade2black001 if its autumn for you rn than no, mine runs arround 40-50 full load, maybe cuz my side pannel is opend
fade2black001 no, but this week it was pretty cold and my heating didnt work as well so it was pretty cold in my room.

Because it HAS to be a toaster oven and the heat generated from any typical range oven is not identical...

@@David-ro2nr yeah well you COULD
1. Remove all the stuff, that can be removed, from the card.
2. Balance the card on small screws, which are screwed gently into the holes in the PCB.
3. Heat up the oven to 210-220 degrees Celsius (~425 degrees Fahrenheit).
4. Put the card into the oven on a piece of tinfoil (doesn't matter which side is up), for 12 minutes. DO NOT TAKE THE CARD OUT YET!
5. Turn the oven off and GENTLY open the oven door, to let the card cool down, while it's still inside the oven, for 30 minutes.
6. Take the card out and reassemble.
7. Profit!
I have successfully revived 7 out of 9 graphics cards that way. (I am assuming the two cards, which was still failing, had other issues than faulty solder). I've never seen one of my baked cards stop working. One of them ran for ~9 months before I sold it and I never heard any complaints from the guy and that was years ago :-)
Just tried your method, seems to be working. Had to reinstall drivers, had error code 43
Make sure the capacitors face up so they don't fall off just in case you leave it in for too long.

dont try it on a amd cpu, your card will melt
+Ali Özdemir Youre dumb as hell and ruined the joke with your stupidity.... amd cpus actually have operating temps way lower than intel cpus. Amd is only supposed to be around the 60c mark where as intel is safe like above 80 i believe? So yeah the amd gpu joke was funny but you killed it
+Zaryab B Actually you're wrong. Intel cpu's have a much higher temperature ceiling in which they can still operate fine. Since at stock speeds they use far less power, and produce less heat, Intel cpu's are better for overclocking. Just because Intel say they can run at 80c, doesn't mean that's where they normally run at. Don't you love it when you're calling someone out for being wrong when in fact you are ;)
BrutalGoerge Thats what i said.... intels have a higher temp cieling i never said anything else dumb shit. Since my amd 8320 runs at 50c and so do most peoples its not really a logical thing to make fun of the cpus for being hot because theyre not..... you get it?
So that toaster oven is not getting to the melting point of standard lead-free ROHS certified solder, which varies from 217 C to 230 C or more. So non of the BGA balls are melting and reforming connections, the solder is not liquid. Nvidia cards fail not because of the balls under the die package but because of how the silicon wafer is packaged to the substrate. You can often temporarily get a failed nvidia gpu up and running again by heating it to 190-200 C but it never is a permanent fix.
semiaccurate.com/2010/07/11/why-nvidias-chips-are-defective/
+Stefan Behrendsen
Also the European union in 2006 started to ban led solder in consumer electronics.
I am sure there are a bunch of more countries.
So nvidia and other factories are now using led free solders to be able to sell it... and led free has even hgher melting point 270°c avaregaly
led solder is also banned in the eu and lot other countries.
+Stefan Behrendsen also no freaking flux doesn't help either. Look up Flip Chip GPU design, the reason the card worked is due to an issue with the die. Heating the gpu up to 150c would have worked.. That's why wrapping a towel and other stupid stuff like that worked for the xbox 360
+Slot1Gamer He heated the GPU to 385f, which is much hotter.
SecretPotatoChip
385 °F is roughly 196.111°C
Lead-Free Solder needs to be at 217 to 280°C to melt.
I did the same procedure with a hot air gun. incredible work.some people say after 2 months card dead again .your video card still work and today after this trik ? thank you for your video.
Can't believe that I'm watching Linus clean a fucking oven...
I'm floored. I just did this to my dead R9 270 and it's alive! Tip: if you have to use your kitchen oven, use parchment paper and staples to make a pouch to put the card in. It'll keep the fumes from messing up the oven.
No way , thats a 7870 , and I have a dead 7870 that needs this as gpu prices are too high, welp its going into the oven tomorrow ,idgaf...

bob sharlt it’s legal in Canada so I’d imagine he can take all of LMG
I just did this with my own graphics card and it worked. HD 7970 Direct CU II which had died a few months ago.
I removed the shroud, fans, and heat sink.
I then cleaned the dust, which there was a lot of, with an unused facial makeup brush and a balloon pump. Not ideal but did the job.
Instead of an oven, I used a heat gun that you can buy from hardware stores. I had this one lying around.
I started a foot out and tried to evenly heat the board as much as possible and slowly moved it closer.
By the end, I was 5 to 10 cm away and could smell the silicon, so I stopped. This was about 5 minutes.
I let it rest, reattached the shroud and etc, and plugged it in to the mobo.
Working. I can now get back to gaming.
Thanks Linus!
Fun fact: I saw on How it's Made that the shiny side of aluminum foil comes from its final extrusion where 2 sheets are forced between two large rollers for efficiency. The point? It doesn't matter whether shiny side or matte side, they are both the same. I know a million people/bakers/grandmas will disagree but it is only a texture. It is just as reflective for heat on either side!
yeah the difference is so slight you'd never notice... practically immeasurable. the purpose of cooking with foil is to contain steam and juices which does avoid drying of food and prevent burning. shiny surface reflects light waves and heat radiation in a more orderly fashion while the duller side kinda scatters it but on the whole there's no real difference. hot is hot and it's gonna be hot either way. shiny and dull, they do the same thing just slightly differently. good post, Jake.
Technically no, a shiny side will always reflect more heat than a mat side. But the difference is just so slightly that it will make no difference in baking
I have to throw this out to this comment chain: "Heat" does not reflect. It radiates, convects, and conducts. IR/microwave light on the other hand does reflect. Avoid mixing the two terms. So depending on what you are cooking with, the effect of light reflection will or will not be a term to consider... but most likely not, especially in an oven.
I'm so happy I came across this particular one today. I mean, it's definitely always a crapshoot, and you never want to do it on anything that still has a warranty for sure, but I have brought three motherboards back-from-the-dead this way. :D

I thought I was the only one crazy enough to try this with a video card and I had a happy ending too. My 2011's clevo MXM HD6990m died in 2015 and i got it up and running with this method to this day, 3 years working flawlessly. I don't know if it helps, but I used around 200º C or 400º F to bake it for 15-20 minutes, after that I let it cool inside the oven for an hour.
You're not melting lead free solder balls at anywhere near the temperature you heated it too.
Linus is honestly one of the funniest tech guys on TH-cam, dude went from "i wish I had smaller balls" to "let's get baked" within a span of a minute.
I just tried this on my 980. I bought it 3 days ago and it's been acting funny. The resolution was fine at first but then it got a little blurry after an update. It was pretty annoying. So I tried this, with oven on 425 like advised, but now it's not powering on. No fans or nothing. It did melt on the one side by the fan but not really noticeable unless you look directly at it. Do I need to stick it in longer or maybe a higher temp to bring it back to life? Should I return it to Best Buy and see if they can fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx.
trollolol
I hope you are kidding
+Deebo Guwop i really hope you're joking, for your sake
No, it is perfectly fine. You should put it back in the oven on the other side for 425 degrees then take it out. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes and they will be safe to eat.
+Deebo Guwop Either you're a really good troll or didn't listen to the disclaimer XD
You're supposed to bake the components at a lower temperature (around 125C) for 24 hours in order to remove all of the moisture the ICs have accumulated. This prevents the moisture from vaporizing during the reflow process and literally causing the ICs to explode. Also, the temperature profile you used wasn't hot enough and was for far too long. A typical reflow profile is 150C for 60s preheat, 165C for 120s soak, and 225C for 20s to reflow. You probably didn't melt all of the solder completely. While enough of it probably melted to fix some hairline cracks and temporarily restore the connection, it's likely to die again soon.
The sweet smell of Videocard in the morning 😎
I know this is REALLY old, but just a heads up on the aluminum foil. it makes zero difference whether you have the shiny or dull side facing out. studies have been done and both sides reflect exactly the same. the only reason one side is shiny is because that is the side that was against the roller during manufacturing. It does not add any reflectivity from a thermal aspect what so ever.
We need an update when the 780Ti dies! I'm really interested in seeing how long it lasts now

Didnt see that coming. Looks like Papa Franku is planning to make a crossover with Linus.
thougt this was a good idea before i relaised that a oven costs more than most videocards
You are never reflowing lead free solder in that oven, there is no way it will get the board hot enough. Whatever it did to the GPU it did not reflow anything.
+Andrew Joy many ifixit videos and unaware people, thinking they can reflow a ssd with chips that are NOT flip chips.
Well that too yes, but they did not even get the basics right, possibility if it was leaded solder they may have a chance but no chance with the stupid lead free solder we all have to use nowadays.
After watching this video yesterday, i decided to put my broken 1080 ti into an old rotisserie oven (about 385 deg. and 8 minutes). it works again LOL THANKS LINUS
I tried to talk my roommate into letting me try this method, but he felt it was too crazy and ended up just letting his GPU rot on a shelf. I am going to link this video as an "I told you so"
LinusStupidTips
Your "method" kills the card.
Also there is no difference between the sides of the aluminium foil. They both "work" the same/
+ceputza When you cook food like a potato or whatever(like an XBox or PS4 or something) you're technically supposed to put the shiny side toward the food so it can 'reflect' more infrared heat back toward the food and cook it faster.
Honestly, I doubt there's much of a difference either way.
Tried this on a EVGA GTX780 and it has been working flawlessly for a little over a year now. In case your seeing threads that state this is only a temporary fix. 380 degrees for 8 minutes, btw(preheated)
I wonder how many people will fry their otherwise repairable equipment because Linus couldn't do his research...
+BakedCookie I really don't think very many people would actually bother to have their card repaired properly; it just wouldn't be cost effective. They'd just go and buy a new one if it was out of warranty. This "fix" is basically free, and you might as well do it if you're going to trash the card anyway. Now I understand that if you had a fairly new MacBook that was just out of warranty, it would probably be pretty stupid to put it in the oven before looking into more legitimate repair options. But that's not what this is; it's a graphics card worth maybe a few hundred dollars that most people just aren't going to send off for repair. I understand the point Louis is trying to make, but I don't think Linus did quite as much damage with this video as Louis is making it out to be.
+oledcrt Louis's video was getting at the fact that the Linus crew is so popular and big yet they did not take time into researching the method and that it not only worked temporarily but also messed up a fixable component and that by uploading this video it will spread misinformation and create more dead components some of which are probably rather expensive. I can understand if it's a very outdated/inexpensive card why someone would just want to scrap it but if it's a $400 card it would probably be worth just getting repaired.
+oledcrt If you throw the card out anyways you could also just give it away to charities. These would fix the card and pass it on. The stuff linus shows here can make this anywhere from harder to impossible. Source: I have destroyed several switches with a soldering iron - took five seconds per switch.
i will try that to bring back my dead fish .
Its best if you do this with a live fish to make it less likely to die
Even better to do it with a butter garlic sauce.
Mmmmm tasty
Did it work?
I also would like to know if it worked! I have pet cat that needs revived!
Yupp..this methods is really works! I bring back my MSI R7770 POWER EDITION back to life after two month lying dead!but I use propane torch instead of oven.I point up the torch directly to the chip about 4 sec n heated the entire board about 2 minutes and let it cool for about 5 minute place it back on pc woaaalaaaah!! Its back to life!!thanks dude for you idea its save my money to buy new cards!!
i love linus's videos because you know they will work if it works in the videos or has a chance at least and doesnt switch out parts to make it seem like it worked for views since hes shown many projects in the past that have failed flat on there face and still posts them
This really fixed my R7850 GT ... it works for sure !
instead of buying an oven, can I do this inside cabinet of amd CPUs and cards ?
Lol
just make sure they're paired with some fx 9350 processors without cooler, sun heat garanted
Pretty sure you should just go and buy new nvidia gpu, since yours will become obsolete in a year, when they drop driver support and change gameworks so that your old gpu becomes basically useless.
how many degreeses does amd cpu card deploy at because i want to download 6 kbs of cory in the house and i only have 2 ram

"I wish I had smaller balls" - Linus 2016.
Thank you for your guide.... I was able to bring my GTX 670 back from the dead. I was hoping to upgrade to 2000 series and thanks to you.... I will not be rushed to buy a card
Does it still works?
@@leoprozczinski sadly not... I ended up upgrading to gtx 1080.
But Linus, not a single motherboard died in this video.... I call it fake.
I was actually skeptical about this, but to my surprise I could save my 7 years old GTX 560 after it showing some green lines on the screen. Instead of an oven I used a heat station and applied heat all over the card, also applied soldering flux over it, and worked good after 3 passes.
Damn Linus back at it again with burning them SSD'S.
Just baked my 7870 200c for 10 minutes. IT WORKED.
I used screws in the PCB screw holes to raise it on little legs and placed it over greaseproof baking paper rather than tinfoil.
Was getting red lines on startup and bios screen and crashing before windows loaded. Started happening after game crashed because the Radeon software locked my fans to 30% and they weren't spinning up at all during gaming. I swear they do this on purpose with newer drivers to knock out people's older cards and increase sales.
Did you put whole gpu or did u take it apart like he did

@@edis4380 I used it for a few more months till I upgraded but as far as I know it still works. It ran cooler too with the new thermal paste.
I got here from Louis Rossman
+Nick Huggins Didn't watch this at first but I got intrigued when I saw his video.
With 2.4 million subscribers you should stop this bullshit about "fixing" BGA flip chips
He even tried to "fix" the ssd. :)))))
Anyone else see Louis Rossman's video?
He's right.
This is only a temproary fix. The bonds inside the GPU that connect the die to the pins let go after the constant expanding and contracting due to heat. When subject to a higher temp like that in a toaster oven, it will disturb things enough to make them work temporilly. I have been replacing GPU's for years and when I first started I was reballing and replacing. Now I use a brand new chip after learning that this only temporarilly fixed the problem. The lead free solder used on modern boards has a metling point of 217C or 423F. Theres confirmation you are not actually reflowing the GPU in case there was any doubt. Comes in hand though for rescuing data from a failing laptop board when you dont want to pay for a repair but thats about it. Aside from this your channel has been great. you should let people know this is not a permanent fix though.
I heated my GTX 760 with an heatgun, i think this is much Saver because you can aim the heat.
#It worked
Well, if you use polyimide tape, you practically work without risk
I used two ceramic plates + alufoil to isolate other parts and expose only GPU, heated for 30sec at 550c, cooldown 10 min, mount and huraaaa GTX 560 Ti work again. It's aliveeee, my precious zombie card is alive again. Second day now, load 100%, 61c max, all O.K. ....stil. Cheers

Just a heads-up: This doesn't work with dead cats. It just stinks up the house.
If only I could've seen this comment a week ago. :/
+TheMCEnthusiast sheeeet. how much time since he uploded it?
+Felep Channel About a month
FUCK. NOW MY HOUSE SMELLS LIKE INDIA!
PAPA FRANKKU! HALP!
As an electronics guy, I'd do two things differently:
- Put screws with nuts in the PCB mounting holes, and use them as standoffs for baking. Why bother using loose foil balls? Nuts are better than balls in this case ;)
- Don't touch a circuit board while the solder is liquid. The small hit at 13:06 may easily have moved a component.
Instead, just turn the oven off and open the door when the baking is finished. This will also reduce thermal stress as it cools down more slowly.
I just saved two graphics cards that had artifacts by doing this, one made by Nvidia and another one by AMD. Thanks man.
NewSuperJulian I'd have thought the amd would bake itself by simply using it
God I thought that too :/
NewSuperJulian does that video card still work ?
Bruno Cerra It broke the whole PC after a while so no.
Wait wat.. how did the gpu break the whole pc wtf are you talking about
Oh mummy what kind of cake are you baking. Oh just GTX 780 cake. Sounds delicious
Aviators Dream 😂😂😂
Did you use a dry rub before baking?
I think if you did it would increase the chances of success.
Something mild though, it you use paprika or chili powder in the rub it will probably be too hot.
This worked on a dell laptop with a Geforce Go 7900GS back in the day. Worked for 9 months before dieing. Rebaked and worked fine for a few more months.
Hey Linus... At least you got the graphics card back right?
+Thomas Dohlman for now
Indeed.
+Nikolaas Brems yeah I did this with an original xbox 360, and it only lasted for a week...stupid x-shaped back plate thing thats 2 tight
+Clear17Mud Bad solder... the 360 had bad solder and design. MS did figure out how to use the "new" solder with newer generations.
+Clear17Mud Well because reheating doesn't fix anything in 85% of the cases.

Instructions unclear, motherboard got melted in the forge
I had no idea whats the catch on ovening. Thats all i need. Cheers, learned something today again
My GPU isn't locking up anymore, but the fan won't work, dammit. To be honest it probably only need new thermal paste.
My fan dont spin too if i change the thermal compound it will wirk again ?
@@ANNIHILX. No
@@H.EL-Othemany lol "my radiator fan no spin, if I replace brake fluid will work?"
Fan has nothing to with thermal paste. Yank the fan out and test it with a AA battery and a paper clip.
@@debbidonosenshi lol my phone's speaker doesn't work do I need to replace the LCD?
What if i told you that GTX 780ti was never broken and Linus should have been awarded with Oscars not Leo?

It’s wild to watch an old Linus video and hear him mention a screwdriver without plugging the LTT store.

*immediately rethinks of what he (linus) said* "Aluminium balls"
is this a joke
Nope
Nope
+penninviisaampi At least for GPU's, this method is known for years yet. The only problem is, that even if the fix works, it may only be temporary and the card eventually will break again after a few months.
+penninviisaampi nope, People used to do it with dead Xbox360's. There it's the console getting to hot, flexing the mobo. By heating it up even more, the solder would set itself again and it would work for a few months
+penninviisaampi It does occasionally work. Only try as a last ditch effort like Linus though.
