CPU heat gun resolder
Has anyone tried using a heat gun to re-flow solder their CPU with a heat gun?
I have no warning buzzers etc., and I've read that cold solder joints in the CPU are a common problem.
I have a heat gun that easily makes solder flow but, I'm concerned about over heating other components.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I've used a soldering iron and wick to remove solder before.
I've also used this desoldering gun from radio shack and it worked great in certain circumstances.
I wouldn't buy a soldering gun from them again though. I bought one for 45$ and the gun eventually died. I bought another and I burnt the cord because its not "loose" and gets in the way.

i repaired my HP laptop motherboard by tossing it into the oven at 395F for exactly 10 minutes(numerous times in fact, it is a known issue with that particular laptop for the board to break solder joints).
in this case that probably wouldn't work...
eventually i got pretty good at it and fixed the issue with the GPU cooking the boards!

I decided to use a soldering iron
While I was in the mood, I removed the clock to try and cure the flash from bright to dim problem.
I still have the clock problem so I think I'll try the heat gun next. What could possibly go wrong??
