Ok, /gee/
I've got a couple of fried cards laying around and I thought about removing the chip, drilling a hole in it and making a cool keychain, but these are a bitch to remove.
I've tried heating it up with my heatgun at max for like 10 minutes, but it wouldn't budge, so I tried heating it and prying it off little by little, but it resulted in pic related.
How can I remove a GPU chip without damaging it?
Pb-free solder needs a really high temp to melt. I would use a gas (propane/butane) torch on the back side of the PCB. Move the flame around constantly.

It's Indium I think.
Google the specific temp it melts at, if it boils you have a ruined chip.
i was thinking of doing a similar thing with a ps3s cell cpu
i want to get it off and coat it in some sort of resin or laminate it and use it as a keychain
