Successfully reflowed the 8800GS GPU after removing the Graphics card from the main logic board and heat sink.
+
* Cleaned off the old thermal paste with ISO alcohol.
+
* Put a little bit of flux around the GPU. Put foil under and around the rest of the board
+
* Put the board in the oven from ambient to 160℃. Then upped the temp every 3 minutes in steps of 20℃ to 240℃
+
* Turned off the power to the oven letting the whole logic rest inside oven with the door closed until back to ambient temperature...
