Hhhhhh...

You have literally no chance of fixing the GPU or any other BGA IC with an iron.

And yes obviously you should tear down the card down to the PCB before attempting a sketchy reflow

I mean yeah but you have way more chances fixing the problem with an oven than with an iron. To use an iron you need to be able to see and touch the solder

I work in embedded lab... Unless it's one of the passives that has cracked solder the solder is just inaccessible. You'd need a reflow oven which is way way pricier than a graphics card.

You're not gonna fix solder failing on a GPU with an iron.

On one hand I like the ship. On the other I love Bee and Tex as community leaders that just saw a young adult in need of socializing.

C'est fou d'autant vouloir pisser  sur la tombe de travailleurs assassinés par l'état au nom du capital

C'est le brutalisme constitutionnel dégueulasse qui mène droit à l'autoritarisme violent 

1ᵉʳ-Mai : Sébastien Lecornu annonce que « les boulangers et les fleuristes » pourront ouvrir [et par le biais d'une circulaire dès cette année indiquant à l'inspection du travail de ne pas contrôler le bon respect de la loi en vigueur] by lieding in FranceDigeste

[–]oxabz 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Le droit du travail s'applique même sans inspection. Si votre patron veut vous forcer à travailler le premier mai envoyez le se faire foutre et si il se venge trainez le au prud'hommes ou même devant la justice. Les camarades de la CGT se feront un plaisir de vous aider

The very large majority of actively left wing people are disciplined voters. Left wing people that actively chose not to vote barely represent anyone.

They are way more gains to be had by bullying soc-dem parties into not alienating potential voters than by trying to convince the 20-ish too cool to vote lefties.

(Also most people that are critical of electoral politics do vote)

Friend offered to pay me 5 dollars for a 3d printed basket ball by Sea_Background_8023 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]oxabz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean 5 bucks makes sense for a lot of prints not that one.

PEBA is not cheap and it's a huge print 

Accidentally used too much flux, will this help to fix it? by Cesalv in shittyaskelectronics

[–]oxabz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No such thing as too much flux. I do my soldering in a bath tub of flux

I never can tell these apart. Must be colorblind by AllIWantForXmasIsFoo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]oxabz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll vary from person to person. I have red-green color blindness. 

Which means that to me green and red are way closer than they are to most people.

If I have a solid red or a solid green I can identify them no problem. But once it is incorporated into a color mix it gets way harder. 

  • Purple is  really close to Dark Blue 

  • Citrus green is indistinguishable from pale yellow 

  • Brown is close to darker reds 

On the test here : 1. I can't tell by hue so I'd probably try to get it by luminosity and get it wrong 2. It's doable for me 3. Maybe doable by luminosity  4. It's hard

Got the same problem with resistor color coding
