It's an unknown. Some people get a few months before having to pop it back into the oven others probably longer. It all seems to come down to micro fractures in the soldering due to the constant expansion and contraction the cards go through over the years. Heat of the oven apparently help to reset those fractures. I hope it lasts until I decide to replace this card. I'm just amazed it actually worked.
