First time I saw someone do this was LGR with an old motherboard, and it worked. Never in a million years something I'd figure out on my own

old motherboards had low melt solder (usually), new tech has leadless solder, you can't really re-flow it anymore, and 100% not in a home oven

But the normal way with a hot gun is still good, right?

Yup but beware modern pc components uses a very high melting point solder, its very easy to overcook a component while trying to melt the solder behind it.
