That one is a sick puppy

Time for the fine tip
That is easy enough to fix
The same card however has serious damage on the other 3dfx ASIC.

One pin was broken off and a number of others so badly smashed that they just fall off
That means digging into the packaging. However, I don't have any power tools small enough to do this with any accuracy
The other damaged pins just fall off one after the other
Decided to take it off. Goes into storage until I can get into the package, or it might become a decap part.
2D part runs fine
Cold spray and hot air. I can reliably get it to crash by just getting near the middle row of DRAMs
The ones near the TMU and the ones on top of the 2D ASIC seem fine.
