I thought you were saying he should put his board into an oven that hot.

The oven "fix" does repair microfissures in solder joints though. I don't know what type of solder is being used on GFX cards and mobos but there is a list here for different melting points of common solders: RF Cafe - Solder Properties Melting Point I don't see any requiring as much as 350c though.

Re: you ever heard about baking your video card?
The newer RoHs spec solders do melt at lower temps and they are the solders that get these microfissures as far as I can tell. It didn't seem to be an issue before 2005-2006.

What I was saying to steve about those P4 boards is it sounds like an actual broken solder joint at the socket..... not sure an oven baking can fix that.
