And now my oven stinks. Is it toxic to eat whatever is baked in there now? I had previously baked an RoHS video card and it didn't smell.
So I baked a non-RoHS video card.....

Uh, pretty much any somewhat modern video card should be ROHS, and even non ROHS leaded solder shouldnt produce any smells. If you have a bad smell, sounds like you burned the dielectric material inside a capacitor. Also, why did you bake the card? Baking should only be used as a last ditch effort....you should always use a heatgun to reflow the memory/core before attempting to reflow the entire card, as the high temperatures can damage the capacitors on the card.

Didn't know that they tasted good with a few sprinkles of flux, and when the plastic melts, it's just right with a good cup of jo.

Well, living down south in Texas, I can't eat with him... And I prefer them cahds deep frahed...
Because I got the card out of the junk box at work and didn't really care if it fixed it or not
It was totally dead when I got my hands on it.

did baking it work?
Indeed it did
Didn't look and I don't feel like taking the heatsink off right now.
