Gigabyte RX 5700XT graphics card Repair [Crash under Load]  

Just Wow! That was inspirational, to put that effort and solder back the faulty components so that you can make this video for us all! Thank you!

Simply awesome! Thanks a lot for starting from the beginning, showing the original fault and the whole fixing procedure. Today I learned a new thing, indeed...Regards from Italy.

You're a wizard sir!! Salute!! I have never seen someone repairing GPU like this. I hope you can share also the settings of the osci on how to capture those switching graphs. Thanks sir!

You are truly an amazing wizard!!! This is major league repair!! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome work thanks for sharing the knowledge. It’s insane that people are selling these USED for $800 usd they were half that new.

outstanding, you are a master of gpu repair!

Wow I actually was able to keep up REALLY well with this one. Prior experience with an EVC2 from elmor came in handy

Ich schaue deiner professionellen Arbeit echt gerne zu. Ich fände es toll wenn du zum gezeigten Equipment nähere Infos geben würdest. Beispielsweise zur verwendeten solder paste oder dem Infineon i2c programmer (usb005) und eventuell wo du diese Komponenten einkaufst. Danke und weiter solch tolle Arbeit.

Called a repair center yesterday before seeing this video. Nope, you need a new card...cant be repaired! KrisFix YOU THE MAN!!!!!

Interesting, never thought that the phase controller is also programable. Thanks for the video.

geiler Typ, macht richtig spaß dir zuzuschauen. Bitte mehr solcher Videos.

Learned a ton. Probably will never use this knowledge but this is entertaining/interesting!

I think we could have got more out of the video if it was 3 hour long so that we could see your thought and testing process. Thanks for the video.

The fault is interesting, your talent and knowledge in fixing it is beyond description, specially reprogramming the infineon chip. Keep on the good works Kris !!!

In the beginning of the video you look like a medical doctor. Awesome video and thank you for sharing your skills with us 😀

jsi fakt chytrý, díky za video,

Would correcting the ringing on that pulse affect the stability, for example, with undervolt and overclock? Ringing can be smoothed out by some impedance matching or maybe adding some capacitance in signal path.

Interesting video as always! What was used to program the IC ? and does the reprogramming count for every graphics card phase controller ic?

How did you know the mosfets were bad (yes you used the camera), but how did you know it was not just the controller giving the mosfet bad signals? You would not just change the controller, measure the mosfets, then change them? Thanks for the videos.

I wish you would have put the before and after in post editing. I would have liked to see the scope images

Thank you for the video Kris. So you use the data lines to capture then to write to the phase controller chip. Very interesting. I am very old and will never perform this fix but it is very interesting to me. My guess is you had to run the chip to find the values to write. My question is, if the phase controller is faulty, how do you know the values you wrote are correct. My guess is just the card working after your fix is the only way you could without the factory chip program. Oh wait, you can look at the phase signatures when running even before load is supplied. Thus this will tell you what the fault is even before the furry donut will drop the card out.

Hello Kris, i don't know if you will see this comment, but i do have 2 identical MSI 5700XT's that were mining for a long time; They will run furmark forever, but they will crash and reboot the system in any type of gaming load and/or 3dmark/unigine benchmark. I am guessing it's vram related, but how can i test if it's the power or gddr5 module?

Good stuff!

LOOKS Pro nice work ihad a card wiith same problem

Nice going :)

wow your great teacher sir

Great video, what tool you use to program that IR?

This is like watching a modern day Mr Wizard but Kris is actually showing how to solve real world science issues

Nice Kris

Hi, great video again. I have one question. Working all voltage on pcb mean pex, gpu, memory gpu etc.. without chip(mean chip is desoldering) model rtx 2070. Thx for help dude. 😉

The effort to Put Back the old components to Show us what is wrong with the Card , Just incredible. Thank you very much for the great content !!! I got a question, so ive got a Vega 64 Strix with an IR35217MTRPBF that went short on the 3.3V. Can i still get the Information out of it ? And also to what device did you solder it on ? And where can i get that? Thanks in advance!

hi Kris, what about a GPU that crash when reach higher freq? is it possibly the same with this one? got this GPU, any game or benchmark software will not launch on default setting but if you limit the frequency from radeon software to 690Mhz @ 900mV it runs normally any idea?

I've got a reference rx5700xt that might have same problems. I have to run it undervolted and underclocked but adrenalin software resets my settings here and there. It has been doing that since the day I bought it new. How can I check if I have same problems without oscilloscope? Cheers and keep up the good work

haha next level repair. Just WOOOW. Great Job.

Great video thanks 👍😃

I wish you were in my local area. I need a gpu repaired.

maybe the costumer had used one of the elmorlabs i2c products to OC its card and something went wrong. your costumer is definitly a special one. normal users are not monitoring their phases under oszilloskop, they simply have none. But good job and great video.

impressive, i keep telling to myself.. this is the guy you go to if you want to repair a card. Thumbs up deserved.

what is the name of infineon software you used in this video ? do you have link for download or something...? thanks

Oh my....I 've never known that controller owns a config file inside !!! if you dont mind please inform us which software-hardware programmer used for this repair, Big thumbs up.

Video was very interesting😎i love it!!!

Meine RTX 2070 Grafikkarte von MSI stürzt die Anwendung unter Last ein. Sind die Phasen das wahrscheinliche Problem?

Güzel iş eline sağlık usta

Hi where are you located, i have 2 gpus one a 1080ti and a 5700xt the 5700xt was my main gpu till it just stoped posting and wont show on device manager, and the 1080ti with simulor issue but that card was a friends so dont know, Coukd do with some help

IR PowIRCenter says Check device 3.3v and I2C Everything is connected correctly but it does not synk. 3.3v does present on the IR 353217 but IR PowIRCenter only has 35218 to chose from. Is that a problem ? Why does the software not have IR35217 in the list and where can i get it ?

I have got the same issue with this exact card. Could you tell me how much a repair would cost. My warranty has run out and I'm not sure, if it is worth repairing.

Wow you are amazing

How hard is it to change fans on the gpu?

Interessante Lösung mit Lötpaste. Normalerweise pfütze ich den Sitzplatz und den Chip.

Hi Kris, make undervolt is harmful for gpus?

Hi is this similar to TDR failure

Thanks for the "solderpaste method", I never tought about it xD

First of all, thank you for showing us your repairs of which I have been surprised. I didn't know they were programmable, what software do you use? thank you so much

Can an end-user diagnose this type of problem without tearing everything down and hooking up an oscilloscope?

BOSS ! ! !

superb video.. where do u bought the infineon I2c device?

which programmer to use? friend ? any eprom burner ?

ser gut arbeit :)

why you cutoff name and version infenion program on video? afraid loses ) openpower gui

I do not hear or see the solder fumes rapidly removed if you have a remote fume extractor. You are injuring yourself with heavy metal ingestion. It takes a while but is irreversible when inside. With plutonium contamination atomic energy workers use medical chelation to remove the metal through urine but only removes a small proportion.. thank you for fine work.. top knotch. DON'T DAMAGE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT UNIT.

I'm surprised how much ringing there is on the square flanks.

the Louiss Rossmann of gpu's.

I have very similar issue with my Sapphire RX5700XT it crashes under load specifically in gaming. Aside from that, it only crashes on 3DMark stresstest (DIRECTX) and is stable on FurMark stresstest (OPENGL).

How this magician is on 780 subscribers only???? Like.. Bruj

Very interesting what software do you use ? One from the controller chip vendor?

Magnificent repair thank you for sharing! Can you share with us the software and device for programming the chip?

any tips for reducing thermals on this card? crazy how you repaired this card. i have the same one😅

So what was the problem? I have the same issue

Which software version are you using with your usb005? I have multiple vega64 gpus with missing pmics. The software documentation says that there are two versions: POL PowIRCenter (no license) 3.2. Full PowIRCenter (license required) And If there is no IR DPDC License.txt license file in the C:\IR_PowIRCenter folder. The GUI will run in POL mode. Only the following devices are available for use.  Manhattan Family : IR38060, IR38061, IR36062, IR38063, IR38064  Comanche Family : IR36021  Rocky Family : IRPS5401 *Do you actually need the full version to program the IR35217?* Thank you for the great video :)

14:00 If it's not a secret what is that Infineon device you connect with the wires connected to the I2C bus?

how do you know the core is not dead?

Kris, probably there was a bad soldering joint underneath of both DrMOSes and IC was in good working order.

What external device is this, need to buy it.

Hi Kris nice video. The software to program chip and the hardware where can you buy it?. Thanks for sharing Regards Steve

that amazing , and yeah i learn something new today ,can you give me link for the programmer you use for ir35217 please

Hi, can i ask what model of programming device and software u used in this video. Thanks

Nice Job

I have the same problem with the RX 570 card. Due to the execution of the test software, the image turns black and the image returns again. The test software gives an error and closes. This happens only when the card is under load. Because I don't have access to an oscilloscope, I can't fully test the phases . Also, thank you very much for your video

Isn't that normally a guarantee case?

Hi, does USB005 programmer works for programming this chip without the software licence ? Thx.

What kind of chip reader and software are you using ? Thanks.

how much did this cost?

Wait is this only for this brand IOR that you have to reprogram the chip I never has something like this it was always memory issues when goes to black screen wow where to buy reprogram the chip and software my friend?

What solder paste do you use may I ask

Ich habe die gleiche Graphik Karte mit die gleichen Problem. Aber mein Board ist wassergekühlt. Kann ich Ihnen die leere Platte ohne Kühlung oder soll ich mit den originalen unmontierten Kühler im Karton zusenden?

Any links where we can buy this IR software and usb divice?? Anyway great work!!

Amazing, amazing video! a quick question if I may ask, I have that exact model but it doesn't crash underload, because i have tried stress testing but i couldn't reproduce the issue no matter how long it would be, it only happens when playing games, not always but happens from time to time but it wouldn't crash, it would reboot my whole PC, tried changing the power supply, motherboard and the CPU but it keeps happening, could it be the same issue as the one in the video? your help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance! the event viewer says this: "A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Hallo, reparierst du auch ältere Grafikkarten? Meine AMD Radeon R9 295X2 ist defekt und ich würde die gerne reparieren lassen.

Soldering parts back is not as bad as to put broken transmission back on a car just to make an video. But its worth the views 😜

I have a powercolor 5700xt like New no video at all if I plug if as a seccondary card Windows it's able to see it but code 43 did you have any idea? Thanks

i got the same video card ithink same problem the one i got how much you charge to fix it?

What hardware / software do you use for reading and writing to the phase controller ?

Do you need a licence for the IR pmic writing software?

How much does a repair like this costs ?

I learned something new today. What I learned is I don't have access to that software 😂 so my card will likely stay dead.

I hope my vega56 should be repaired like this 🥳

thanks. Can you share with us the software and device required to program the chip? help me

i had rx580 everything ok but play game shutdown same chip wrong? but you didn't measure enable

i have same problem with my RTX 3060 TI, when furmark running then black screen, but why i can solve the problem by lowering memory clock to 13000mhz, and underclock to 1500mhz, now furmark can running without the problem, i do underclock with aorus engine for gigabyte gpu, and yeah yo do amazing work,

Have You ever wonder why IR35217 taken from VEGA card and putted to 5700 xt works perfectly fine without any programming? VEGA and 5700 xt have completely different configuration.
