        I wouldnt recommend to bake your gpu :D

        • If there is “Dead gpu” just try to restart the core itself, not the whole miner.

        There is an option on every miner to restart the single core, try it.

          It’s a last-ditch thing to try, but it can work if the problem is a bad solder joint.

          Re-flowing lead-free solder would require closer to 200°C, so heating to 190-192°C is probably close enough so that the solder doesn’t actually melt and allow components to dislodge/fall out in the oven. You’ll most certainly reduce the life of any electrolytic capacitors by quite a bit, even if the card works again. Most electrolyte has a low boiling point; can be closer to water (100°C).

            Ive tried this on 4 or so “dead” cards, only one came back to life. Its really a last option before tossing cards in the trash.

              I have tried baking in oven on 4 dead cards, one is “fixed”, 2 came back temporarily.

              I used an “oven thermometer”, to get “exactly” 280 Deg C.

                Tried this in the past 0/2 cards came back to life but its worth a shot if your warranty is already void.
