I'd have thought this outcome was pretty obvious. think about the
soldering. When its done its fast and localised to the parts needed to be
soldered. One cannot heat the whole card up and expect it to survive.

I don't know if I told you but I have a graphics card that's out of
warranty and stopped working.
Well I checked for swollen or burst capacitors, there weren't any.
So as a last resort I tried the bake in the oven method to reflow the
solder.
9 minutes at 196C as advised.
The solder didn't appear to have melted, and the card remained
inoperative.
Perhaps my oven thermostat is inaccurate? Try hotter!
Max - 240C.
BANG! Now I've got burst capacitors. All over the oven.
I shall refrain from reinserting it into the computer.
