With all the different ways to reflow, you usually see a cold solder joint spring back up within 3 months after. Unless you completely have the CPU or GPU reballed and professionally soldered back on.
The fixes that involve reflowing but also modifying the heat sink mounts to physically CLAMP the chip down with some force are the ones that are going to work the best over the long haul.
