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.

Yup...........REAL hard too

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 :roflmao:

I always take a pis in the morning.

Seriously I'd like to see the results too. I always get squeamish when people start using ovens or freezers to fix PC parts.

It's not that uncommon. It went like clock work.

Hmmm, maybe the mispelling has something to do with thw quirks I have been seeing.

 

[paulpicks21]

It all sounds very scary to me Bob, maybe you should change your name to "Ovenmaster" or something.

Do you think I can microwave my RAM to get higher clock speeds?

No, don't do anything stupid. RAM I think is too fragile for the microwave.

 

[paulpicks21]

How long do you recommend for a SSD Bob? 10mins a side? Also how about a Motherboard? I would like it cooked medium to well done, what we talkin? 15 mins a side?

Is it best to Oven cook or Grill Ram? And I have a set of 2.1 speakers that have seen better days, maybe a quick fry up will sort them out?

 

[COMPUTIAC]

OK, so now you are going to make fun of me because I did something a little out of the ordinary ?

At least I did it and it worked out very well.

Not at all, I love using my oven to cook "Food" it's a marvel of the modern age!

I like Chinese food too, same as you, crispy aromatic computer is one of my favs!
