I dont understand how it works could someone please explain to me how putting a gfx card in an oven works as to putting the b4st4rd that sold it to you in the oven lol. (rep points for the person that explains it :p)

Apparently melted the solder and reformed the connection. I believe it's similar to the Xbox towel trick to get it working after a RROD.
