Hi guys, i'm not here to ask about how to reflow chip because i can easily find it on youtube. But i just want to ask? Is reflowing gpu chip easy or difficult? Do you have any experience in that? Thanks ;) * +

If it does work it probably wont last for very long and you will get the same problem again eventually. * +
