Hi,
A while ago I got myself a G5, which required a reflow of the GPU. I did that, and now the machine works just fine.
I have one concern though. The "Memory Controller" has a very high operating temp. We're talking close to 80c and even more. At least that is the temp reported by Temperature Monitor.
Maybe I should replace the caps? I have a set of new capacitors for the machine, but I have not gotten around to do it yet. The stupid solder is hard to melt. I should probably bring it to the lab at work, where we have professional solder gear.
