Nice job. Very disappointed though that you didn't belittle me, try and sell me some 'genuine Amtech flux', a microscope light.... and a solder sucker that would give any self respecting man a good time. Bless! Keep the content coming. THANKS.
Thanks for fixing my card Tony! I did open the card up to notice a lack of pads! I appreciate your time and effort to get this one going! I applied some thermal paste per instructions I saw you give, to prevent the core from cracking and sent it your way! 10/10 would recommend!
@@rewire6468 no, changing the VRAM modules as they're all having the same number and distribution of balls. Problem is the memory is subject to the chip's own architecture so it won't support at all. The Russian guy that took a 2080ti and turned it into a Titan also replaced the gpu's core.
Hey Tony, absolutely hooked to your videos. Whether it's a short vid or a longer vid, it's always a good time. Thank you for the frequent uploads and keep doing what you're doing.
Im currently 3rd year computer engeening in the phillipines. And this is what i like to watch. I watch other people video of repairing gpus but this is the best. Hope someday i became good like you. Hope i can join your discord. Sorry for my bad english and i hope best for you
I'm not sure EVGA has the resources to retool a brand new GPU stack. Even their power supplies are getting hard to find and I worry about their future cashflow as a company. It's possible they *are* switching to AMD- but aren't announcing it until they actually get it done. That is a significant amount of development time to put in.
@@empireOfLove2 i think you are half true half wrong EVGA always awas like "we don't want to go AMD" + if i remember right, there were some rummors that they agreed with nvdiai they won't mote to AMD out of the box but who says they cannot make Intel Battlemages
liquid damage - maybe a drop of human sweat or something conductive short the component. For sure, somebody must have taken the GPU apart, but as you rhetorically like to say "who knows", and "I don't care".
Just go for it. Buy a lot of damaged cheap video cards and start practicing. This way you will know what tools you need. Not all tools are fine for everybody. That kind of needle shape, fine tip for soldering, I never use. I don't like it. I use something else entirely. I use what works for me. Remember you need experience in soldering. If you are not really experience in soldering, you won't be able to fix things for various reasons. Train yourself A LOT then you will know what temperatures you need for preheating and what temperatures you need for soldering / desoldering parts. You will be able to learn how to not damage a PCB worse than it already is. That's something people try to not start with. If you work a lot on PCBs you will learn how to manage working on different components and how to make them do what you need them to do for you. You will be able to use the way they behave to aid you instead of fighting with them to stay in place or to go wherever you need them to go. Remember! Shitty tools render shitty results. You don't need the "creme de la creme" but you most certainly need decent tools. Try to use an invite from the description of some of the clips like this one to join us in Discord. Be patient. Learning things by yourself is not easy. Look in the description below the clip, click on "more" then you know what to do. Buy Tony a candy when you can.
This is a biggy / after working on a founders 770 ti blower style / card might look fine but meter check rails while putting pressure and you will find micro shorts around mosfets and voltage regulators as well as some ram capacitors
Thank you for pointing out the obvious Linux desktop environments problem. Open source developers without clear guidelines on what a UI should be. No consistency. Just a beef ragout
Old cards didnt had any pads, because VRM was cold enough to be fine by its own. My 1060 is like that too, but it will not go well with newer cards, they run much hotter.
oh man, still got my evga gtx 1080ti as well.. i bought it used, smbdy mined some eth with it before. the card still works to this day. the only problem I always had with it was DP port connectivity with my Acer Predator XB27H1U monitor. for some reason it would either: a) not get DP signal, b) get with minimal or wrong refresh rate (24hz instead of 144hz... or max out at 60hz, random rly), c) give picture with 640x480 max resolution d) work fine, no issues. HDMI always worked flawlessly (max out a 60hz tho). anyway, now i'm thinking i want to tear it apart again and check some ICs, any idea where I should look? it could also have been an issue with my x58 motherboard.. pretty old stuff rly. anyway, really great vids keep it up!
No idea what your issue is, but I found out that my 1060 doesn't like a DP connection on one monitor I have, but on the other it's flawless. It possibly could just be an oddity like that.
Gee, how did that part blow?🤔 Owner wanted to clean their graphics carrd, and started poking with a screwdriver. Magic smoke! They opened it, to see why card stopped working, and in trash went those silly little pads. Same type of genius who likes to put forks in toasters.🍴⚡💥
I learned gpus need pads from you cuz I have never seen a high-end card. is it because 1080's work load? I dont see any pads on 50 and 60 series cards...
Does this mean the next time I go to change the thermal paste on my 1060 I'll learn that it has no thermal pads? I haven't opened it up yet, but the previous owner might've since the gpu core temps seem to be good still.
@@ArtisChronicles Yes, 1060`s seem to not have thermal pads in general. Dont worry, they come like that from factory, there is just not much to cool here with just 100W on entire card.
hmmm... I'm using the Linux desktops for more than 20 years now, but never had any problems finding my buttons. In fact with Linux you decide where they are, not the programer of the program you use.
That was a nice video. On my current system, games and benchmarks like 3Dmark crash randomly. I'm not sure if it's my GPU or something else that's causing trouble.
@@iTra1337 Hmm maybe you could try overvolting & underclocking? What's your PSU? (Also if this has started to happen after a specific point maybe a driver from that time might work)
@@astir6114 I undervolted the card yesterday, no crashes so far. But I probably need to test a bit more, as the crashes are random. PSU is the Pure Power 12 M (1000 W)
@@iTra1337 Nice, should be enough Watt unless you have a 4090. Next time it crashes do tell how it behaves, e.g. blackscreen but fans keep spinning, complete off at once. Can apparently be a RAM issue too, ya never know.
Ah the "Thermal pads are optional" tribe. I work in IT and legit had a coworker would repair a chromebook and didn't think the thermal pad for the CPU was needed.
Another fine job and with a such quick diagnosis on this one. Hopefully the owner didnt run this without any thermal pads for that could have played a contributing factor to the chip blowing. Always good to see owners keeping their older cards instead of parting with them in place for something new. Still have my Titan xP to this day running in my HTPC ❤️
Help, got a 1080 strix, all voltages ok, detects, no display, reads 4GB of the 8GB? Rip pads, dead memory? BTW, switched to your channel daily, video cards are becoming a high need for fixing...
Hey man i love watching you videos and i have an inno3d rtx 2070 that overheats with minimal load i could send it to you if you think that would make a good video
Damn great job! I was biting my nails. Frankly, i expected you to put on your black beard and announce the time of the death. With joy in the voice, you know.
i have a pny 1080ti with a bunch of busted off components around the port area, around 15-20 little chips knocked off and what looks to be a screwdriver mark across the pcb, card works fine never crashes and holds and oc but one dp port and the hdmi port doesn't work been debating trying to have it repaired but the repair cost will most likely outweigh the value of the gpu :(
maybe 5 years ago. ubuntu and linux mint. i can guarantee that if i try it today, same problem will come up. Different parts of linux programmed by different people not following any standard so it may be 5 years 20 years later, problem will continue to exist until someone will say "my version of linux will be better" oh wait, thats what ever linux nerd did already. Make their own fork of a fork that was forked from a fork and its all a mess.
I have the 1080 EVGA FTW. Under stress it gets super hot at 100% fan speed and my screen goes black. Any idea why it gets so hot? The card has no temp sensor on the VRAM. All other temps are fine.. around 69°C.
@@ionkon sorry if it seems obvious but have you changed or added thermal pads to all vrm and vram, and applied new thermal paste to the gpu core? Sometimes graphical cards also have thermal pads under the backplate. Check for it if you haven't
Hi NWR, my gpu recently stopped giving an image and the fans start spinning at 100%. Do you know what could be wrong? I need that thing to be up quick again
Oh yeah sure. To get it up quick, all you gotta do is to take it out, blow at the pcie slot and plug it back in. You know like with the game cartridges back in the day ? That did the trick most of the time.
@@northwestrepair Oh right. I was just asking because I was thinking about buying a "defective" 2080 super for an absolute steal. The description said it had that problem. Btw I already know that will probably work, I had the same problem with my 2080 that was sagging a bit too much and not properly touching the slot. Thanks for the help, now I know what caused my problems 👍
Sorry if this is getting annoying, but I have another question. If I buy a GPU that displays green stripes, is there a chance that it can still be used for mining since I don't really need it displaying anything? What could be wrong with it?
@@DecayedPage Stripes/artifacts means memory issues, which could either be bad contacts under Core and/or Memory chips, or bad Memory chip. So probably not.
Hello you use tiny linux. I am just for fun trying to check my 1080ti for memory problem. I live in Sweden so long way to send to you :) and i am trying to learn first fault search maby in future reball memory and in 5years reball cpu but i dont think i Will make it to hard :) Does the commands you use in tiny or do i need some package ? Can you put your iso to the tiny with command on your Share
So Tony says, when cards are a no connect this chip right here, wait wait oh my its burnt. He says, why did it burn? Don't know, then runs the furry donut for an hour. Every memory chip pad is a no show.
That's Linux for ya, ie, a directionless snowball rolling down a mountain collecting more and more stuff - lol -. You can use it for simple stuff, even though it usually more work, but if it's complicated it's hard to get stuff fixed, eg, I found a fault 6 years ago and it's still not fixed - lol -. Basically very few people can program at a high level, so you have to wait for a skilled programmer with the same problem before someone will even look at it.
A bigger part of why Linux is hard to get into is that the community is absolutely toxic. If you have any sort of problem their first response is "RTFM! Thread locked!". Which for those who don't know, it stands for "read the fucking manual". But there's hundreds of manuals to pick from and you have to know which one to start with, and even then they're often completely useless, telling you to create configuration file, but literally no info on what it could or should contain. No reference for the options nor the format. And even then you'd often still need to be an expert in whatever field to make it work.
I have a problem with my zotac rtx 3060 ti when ever I have the 8pin plugged into the GPU the computer does not star but when I unplug the 8pin and start the PC with GPU in the motherboard PC starts something wrong with my 3060 ti nobody understands
Only reason I don't use Linux (and I would bet the majority of the public) is due to driver issues. Getting hardware and software to run on Linux takes effort.
The only problem I've really had was with wifi drivers but theres a lot of distros that fixed that right out of the gate. I use Kubuntu and the wifi just works nicely. Linux has come a long way. The battery life on my laptop has doubled or more using Linux instead of Windows 10. The main problem with Linux is lack of gaming support, Windows still reigns supreme if you want to play games.
The Linux kernel has all the drivers you need, built in. You can literally move your SSD or HDD to a different PC and it will boot without any problem. It even has drivers for older devices which weren't supported by newer Windows. My personal choice is Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop.
no way evga sent out that card with no thermal pads, got tobe the user thinking it was better without lol wtf psml and that's defiantly user putting the gpu paste on there
I didn't know windows could read linux unless you somehow installed linux on to ntfs or something. I use ext4 myself, and my theory is since Linux is journaled you don't have to check it. I am not a btfs kind of guy. Honestly I migrated to Linux probably to keep software from calling home about its origins. But today I mostly hang out in Linux, but is some ways Windows was better. The new gnome is ok looking. I manually fill out the network in Windows and don't include a router. In theory that isolates them from the internet, although one time some mvc program contacted microsoft using what it called 'a non standard gateway' in which the router was in x.x.x.1.
It's not corrupt like the government. It's corrupt because it has no rules or regulations. Everybody does what they want, fix it and break it. What ever they wish.
I don't think Linux UI is going to make it easy for them to find the "comment" button. It may be all the way at the bottom or it may not be here at all. Depending on the mood of a person who programmed that browser at any given time. Sunday night update: I think I should move this button here. Monday update: maybe we don't need this button so I removed it. Tuesday update: button it back, but it's changed it's function. Wednesday update: I decided to become a painter so I will no longer update the UI and the button problem will stay now. That's Linux right there.
Does the factory solder by a leg? So when you solder by hand it's better than factory? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-amUH6McjcSk.htmlsi=9nLC3Q_J7Lo8vzmr&t=703
But it's true. Come up with a standard UI behavior and develop everything around that standard. Ok on the left and cancel on the right. Or the other way around but please make it standard.
i mean one of the best things on linux is that there is no standard and if it happens that you desire standard, then there is a distribution even for you and people who are use to windows/mac UI, join the pingwin side x)@@northwestrepair
