I watched that video earlier today and baking a video card to reflow is a terrible idea. This video showed a great example of why it's a bad idea. But I'm not sure about the accuracy of whether or not that is how an EVGA refurbish repair is handled. I suspect Tony is going off of what the owner told him. The decal could be a forgery as well. 

 

What I know is that he found same pattern with his several attempts to fix Evga refurbished graphics cards. He have more videos of the problem. Maybe EVGA had other fixes for the more expensive Kingpin cards. Who knows. An awful way to reduce costs. 

 

EVGA have done a lot scummy the later years. MB that don't work with later gen processors and graphics cards. Then go stealthy and try milk extra on the mining boom... For higher profits. Of  course they went so far they would bake cards to cut costs.

I doubt there is anyone working at EVGA at this point that know anything about GPU or motherboard repair. Probably handled by another company now. I would not send anything to them for warranty repair at this point because of that.
