Khenglish Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 That is a loooooong time in the oven. From my experience most cards can't take take high of a temp for that long. Cards are usually heated for around 2 minutes at 250C during manufacturing, but that's with a convective oven with high air flow. Usually it takes around 15 minutes for a card to heat up enough in a regular oven or toaster oven to melt all the solder.Glad to hear it worked. Just be gentle with it though because I don't know if the board can survive any more heating after that. I suspect it is now a very different color from how it started.

mike2668 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 i know but it was my final solution for this card......but anyways soldering can get up too 350 so 250 is not that hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
