i think it may need a good bake and be fne what do you think?
Note i have baked a 8800GTX that was broken and a xbox 360 3RROD both now work fine
i was thinking paying ~$30 shipped then bake it and see what happens
thoughs!

EDIT or maybe this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Radeon-HD-48...item1c27f69ef3

i want to replace my brothers 8800GTX or mine bitcoins with the 6850

Bobnova · 06-09-12, 11:17 PM

I've yet to hear of a bake fixing 6xxx bits. Worth a shot if it's cheap I suppose.

trekky · 06-09-12, 11:20 PM

why would it not fix it? maybe 6xxx are too new
also would the problem he says does it sounds like a baking fix?
i was thinking of maybe offering this guy ~40
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261041506070...84.m1952.l2649

EDIT
i was thinking will thoso dual GPU work with with board?

Bobnova · 06-10-12, 09:19 AM

If a ram chip or the core or a MOSFET is actually dead for instance, baking will do nothing.
Baking only fixes solder issues.

trekky · 06-10-12, 09:48 AM

true
and about the dual GPUs would it work it on this mobo?
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/prod...px?pid=3499#ov
im unsure if you need a crossfire board for these to work

Bobnova · 06-10-12, 09:54 AM

I'm not certain either way, can't help you there.
Google might cough up something useful.

trekky · 06-10-12, 10:07 AM

nope should work fine

thx
google is the best!

trekky · 06-10-12, 02:22 PM

ok i bid on the 6850
the 5970 guy wants WAY TOO much i offered him $40 and he said he could only do $100
way too much for a broken board

trekky · 06-10-12, 08:30 PM

i also saw this today
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=251082354289
he says DISPLAY FAILED Issue
i asked him for more detail
but with a display issue could i Xfire? and be fine maybe?
or a bake maybe fix it right?(maybe)

Frakk · 06-11-12, 06:23 AM

lol.... looks like someone is looking to make a fast $.....

Good luck

trekky · 06-11-12, 09:25 AM

no i want to upgrade my computer with another 6950 and maybe my brother computer
the 6950 guy said this
Hi
We received these Graphic Card AS IS and it says on Box that it has "Display Issue" and we are not sure if it shows display or not. But Graphic Card looks New, nothing have been taken out or changed.Also Serial Number shows this graphic Card was manufactured in March 2011 and not sure if it still has warranty left or not.
Thank You

Bobnova · 06-11-12, 10:56 AM

If that's the MSI, it should still have a warranty.
Whether or not you should use that warranty, morally speaking, is up to you.

trekky · 06-11-12, 11:19 AM

well does not matter its gone
some1 bought it

<___< >___>
i will probly save and maybe find a Cheap one here

Bobnova · 06-11-12, 11:20 AM

Yeah.... I would have if I'd actually clicked the link and seen it was MSI :P

trekky · 06-11-12, 11:23 AM

well ya those are good cards!
i hope the person who got it does not bake then sell on the Forums
that would be rude!

Ivy · 06-11-12, 12:58 PM

Baking is able to fix broken alignments at the solder points. However, for processors, RAM or other electronics (Mosfet, Capacitor and more) it does nothing and it is even able to damage them (partially or completly). So its just recommended as a absolutly last resort, when there is nothing to lose.

grumperfish · 06-11-12, 06:08 PM

Baking has a chance of being a temporary fix anyways. I'd rather spend more to have a known-good card (or at least a new one with an RMA option) and a valid warranty than chance it on a possibly-temporary fix.
