Long story short: my 670 crashed one day and is not responding, tried everything software related, didnt work. Conclusion, gpu is spoilt. Going to try this as a last resort before buying a brand new card.

I did this on an old 9800 GT, it worked again for 1 month. Out of warranty? If you can solder yourself, try that first (i don't have soldering tools since my dad took them out but then I haven't solder a thing before). After that, it'll continuously die.
If you still have warranty... use that. If not and you have soldering equipment, its worth a shot for manual soldering. If you're going to bake it... expect it to be completely down after a month if it works. My 9800 GT worked for about another month, then i rebaked it, it worked for a week, then only like a day or 2 and then it was dead dead.
Ugh.. These comments are real disappointing. I really don't want to destroy my gpu but if baking it is my only shot, I've got no other choice. Will post results when I get down to it, real busy with work these days.

Do you still have warranty on it? If not, then you have nothing to lose unless you know how to solder then do that
I threw away most of the papers and the box my gpu came with. All i have left is the installation manual and drivers CD. Besides i dont think warranty usually lasts more than 2 years right? I really cant remember many details when i bought it.
Then I tried again using 20 degrees more, and it didn't do anything afterwards.
