Has anyone seen a good guide/s on reflowing? ive been looking around a bit but most of the information is 50/50, seems like nobody WANTS to write a guide. if any of you guys have an idea on this, it would be extremely appreciated.

You'll probably never find a one-fit solution to reflowing/reballing as ALL components vary.
The best way to learn it yourself is to buy yourself an IR/Reflow station and toy around settings.
But if you go by theory (lead-free vs lead solder) you'll find "reflow/reball" profiles on the web.
Achieving a profile curve, meanwhile, is an art...

Re: Reflowing
Get the tools and play around
I killed many BGA components when first learning! Too much heat, too long with heat, Not right curve, Not enough heat etc etc etc
After much practice I can successfully reflow with hot air.... And for the first time managed to do a complete reball and flow using nothing but hot air and no templates, or balls, or anything else fancyNo idea how much life the GPU has left now though! HAHA but thought id have fun trying it out
