Is this possible? It is exhibiting the same symptoms as the 8800 GS. Thinking 400 degrees F for 10 mins twice with a 5 min rest between. Seem good?
 
What symptoms might those be?

Sometimes won't boot, waking from sleep = checkered screen, screen artifacts. looks the same as some of the 8800GS symptoms. Already baking. It was replaced once for that issue, now same thing. Sorry for short typing, really nervous. Anyway, first session done, waiting for 5 minutes for next baking :D

Alright! Everything seems to be working. In OS X it doesnt detect the speakers, but the 'bong' sounds at boot. Odd. No more artifacts (as far that I can see)
 
You might want to check in with the OP in this thread who did a successful reflow on his Late 2009 iMac back in January to see if it's still working well.

I'm glad to hear yours was successful as well. :)
