Show Us Your Rig [6]

I feel my chain being yanked.

BBQ's with indirect heating works well too, I love grill marks on my case !

Oh, so you did it the easy way.

I like the oven trick better, I'm going to try it.

I hope you are kidding. A hairdryer on low is a better idea.

No, I'm not actually. Why would I be kidding ?

I'm on the laptop now as I decided to put the whole 'puter in the oven on low so I can rework all of the cables at once.

AMD doesn't have a max temp listed for a FX-8350 but from looking through several forum they say it throttles at only 70C, or 158F. Plastic pieces can melt, metal panels can distort.

I know a while back you could put a dead GPU in the oven for a little while and it could bring it back to life, there were many guides online for doing it but it was only if it was dead. Obviously I would not recommend doing it on any stuff that is still working.

Thank's for the concern and research you did.
The experiment went very well though. I t was only in there for maybe 10 minutes at the lowest setting possible. When I took it out all looked good. I slowly bent the cables as I liked and then let everything cool down for a while.
It looks really good now. A little quirky though !

I once dropped a cell phone in a bucket of water, saved it by putting it in the oven at the lowest temp for an hour. It worked fine after.

Do you have any pictures of said cable bending Bob?

No, I did not take a video if that is what you mean.
I have to charge the camera battery and take a pis in the morning, then.

I hope that was a typo, yeah we all need to take a piss in the morning, but I assume you meant take a pic in the morning
