For repair, please contact me by following the link in the channel ABOUT page. Buy me a candy at paypal.me/tonynameless Tools, schematics, boardview files etc are available here drive.google.c...
This gpu was fixed today after replacing memory. I forgot to record it. Anyway, the only issue that remained was the fan. It was blowing 100% all the time. I tried another fan and it worked normal so it wasnt the board fault but the fan its self which i cannot fix 😂
@@northwestrepair Those aero 1060s were one of best picks for mining etherium back then, low power consumption and good hash rate... This one by the looks, has a lot, a lot of mining hours and torture.... it deserves a repair !
I think it's due to feelings the customer has to this card. As Tony said, this must have a sentimental value which I fully understand cause I'm kinda the same kind of person. Till this day I still have some old PC stuff I'm not going to sell or giveaway. I have two old computers from my childhood for which I have some sentimentals. They just bring me good memories. And I can enjoy retro gaming using them which is a lot of fun :)
@@bojanmilovanovic747 Nah, the 3GB 1060s were never capable of ETH mining, that's why there was a substantial price gap on the used market between the 3G and 6GB version despite almost identical performance in games that were not VRAM bottlenecked. In the last 1-2 years of ETH, the DAG file also outgrew 4GB cards, which suddenly became useless as well, but I think it never reached 6GB before all miners got canned.
Man, this brings me good memories. I used to use this GPU for several years (jumped to RTX 4070 lately due to changing the whole platform) and it was one of the best for its time. The fun fact is that this card was available in two variants, 3GB and 6GB. Good job on saving 1060 and giving a bit of nostalgia
@@Ramog1000yup. 3GB version was like an economic one. I only remember that choosing 3GB was pointless, at least for a single customer since the price difference between those two versions was too small.
I have one of these 1060 6gb models in my capture rig and it will actually play Assetto Corsa at 4k at 75 FPS with just an i3 9100f. Shocked the hell out of me to see it do that.
How's the GTX 1080ti holding up? I'm still using a GTX 1070 but I really need to get something with more cuda cores, a lot of games now need something like a 3060ti or 3070 now
Just a heads up you weren't looking at the 1060 in GPUZ you were looking at the integrated graphics lol.. It happens.. In my experience the display ports probably just need cleaned since it loads the drivers with no errors.. If you have a DVI to HDMI adapter you could try that she probably come alive.. Mats is just sending you down a rabbit hole it does that when the version isn't correct for the card.. Good luck keep up the good work
You can install slower memory it will work , for testing , it will be overclocked , i had 1060 6G with samsung memory and with 2 faulty chips and replaced them with micron , and card was working fine ( chips must be the sam on the same chanel )
Yeah 1060s are workhorse units but this is a HP 1060, this sort of build isn't nearly good enough for a retail unit. Kind of a yikesy 1060 to rescue given the choice of ones with much better PCB and cooling and ones that experienced much less abuse. 3GB version is unfortunate as well.
At 12:50 you're looking at the Intel HD Graphics 530 specs, not the GPU, hence the missing features. You gotta select the right GPU via the dropdown menu when having multiple GPUs (or an iGPU, same).
too funny, that 1060 is still light years newer then the 7950 and 8800 i'm running in my computers which brings me to my point of why i find your videos so interesting, i've run the slop out of my gpu's over the last 18 years and yet the newer way more expensive generation video cards seem to start failing within a couple years or even less, i think that is crazy........
nano is an editor you can just use less as a pager to view files. You can also run gpm in the console to get a mouse cursor so you can copy paste on the command line. There's also tab completion too. You also get 6 consoles in Linux. Which can be handy when you're in the console. You switch consoles with ALT+FX with FX being F1, F2, F3 etc.
@@northwestrepair not gymp gpm (gpm = general purpose mouse). It looks like Tiny does have gpm. gpm gives you a mouse cursor in the console. You can copy and paste. It beats typing file names. You can just double click the file name in the directory listing and middle click and it'll appear on the command line. But you have to have gpm installed and run it. It also has to support your hardware. There's a config util you might have to run. Sometimes it just works though. That depends on what kind of mouse you have. When gpm is running it'll give you this white rectangle and that's your mouse cursor. You can move it around on the screen. It's weird but oddly handy in the console.
I'm new to this channel, it's pretty awesome seeing what you do, makes me want to find some busted cards to mess around! To see if it works, could you not just remove the suspected memory chip and run the card with 2.5GB vram? Or maybe you need to remove a pair if they are grouped so be a 2GB card just to see if that was the problem?
People are still using 3 GB cards.. wow! I used a 2 GB card back in the early 2000's. Then the 1070 8 GB came out and never looked back. Can only imagine the pain of using 3 GB cards in modern games.
Not everyone is gaming or has need for speedy gpu. I switched from 1070 to 1080ti last year and this year i switched to 3080ti so........ and only because i needed faster rendering.
Could you repair a discontinued Mouse? Redragon M902, I lost the use of my left hand years ago and that specific mouse with its thumb-centric 5 buttons and additional 4 around the mouse wheel allow me to do so much with just one hand. It was made by Redragon America, however the America division closed in 2020 ...it was an inexpensive mouse at $35 , I'd be willing to pay 5 times that to get it repaired. The USB cable frayed and I replaced it with another one from a different mouse, now it is having so intermittent function isssues
...ps. as a last measure i think u can just remove the A & B chip and run the card on 2GB memory... ..it should in theory work... (there should be 6 chips (not ships lol) already missing, 4 on the wrong side)
Tried to make a 120mm fan spin using a vacuum cleaner and use it as a generator just for fun - was barely enough to make a red LED glim. As red LEDs start to glim around 10 - 12 mA@1.6-2.2V the output of the "fan-o-rator" was laughable and should pose no danger to any hardware that is attached to it. So the reputation of backfeeding fans as hardware-killers seems a bit overblown to me.
I may not be a computer graphic card wizard as you are Tony but if I had that card I would just dunk it in water with a bit of soap inside an ultrasonic cleaner for starters and then after I had dried it up I would use plenty of WD-40 on it. Just like Brian does in Tech yes City 😁.
where did you get that from? FRAMEbuffer and windows GUI uses 1.7GB for 4 monitors.......plus memory sharing between CPU and GPU is common with allot of games and software, space engineers is not going to get more optimized that is happily using 10gb of my 12gb vram. the other fact is only a few years ago when 1060 GPU come out people where saying 6gb as insane but towards the end of my use of that gpu which was only recently it is now not enough for some games and apps, that been said i only upgraded to a 3060 as it fallen on my lap, but watching different software eat up nearly every bit considering i am only at 1080P right now seems a bit short sited and i am not the only person who is saying this but anyway, i shall try my self one day.@@northwestrepair
