MSI 1080 TI Blower Graphics Card Repair - Is it fixable? 

Was the card sorted?

What was the outcome, success with the repair?

that flying away chip was funny and painful

@@DIYTech21 went to another dimension

Rescued !!! From the ninth dimension

This. In one of his recent videos he was fixing a 980TI, that card is 3 generations old and would be considered low-mid range by today's standards. Pre-shortage days, fixing that card would cost more than its worth.

bitcoin issue 😉

TRUE DAT!

@@Anibal_avila74 i hate shltcoiners with a passion, they are the bane of technology!

@@cesaru3619i tottaly agree

Well said Luis, well said. Fred

When?

minute 4:39 there is a filter with a black spot. But it seems to be water or something

Tech power Up has a lot more, BZ has info.

@@tanishqbhaiji103 ya and they might ramble alittle less. Lol 😆

This, hope he sees it.

@Simon C Of course. God help & bless him.

@Simon C if he allows me to do it, i will do it for free 😁 But unfortunately its must be done by himself to keep the channel safe.

A lot of these cards have been used for mining, that's why they blow, they're not designed to be running at full power 24/7

I'd actually watch Twitch if that was the case

Plus it'll save the headache of a lot of video editing. But as he mentions, he keeps getting called during his repairs so that'd be a bit difficult on live.

It will actually be more difficult for him to do live repairs when you have customers come in & out, sometimes wanting to mute his mic during a repair, move cam equipment around also avoiding sensitive information etc that may accidently show on stream. It's better for him to edit his videos and upload. Live streams are pretty risky

@@Jackson_Harris That is true, but if does it for an hour or two after hours

Twitch channels are for newbie techs who have plenty of spare time. NorthridgeFix is doing it the veteran style.

Since there is no multimeter beeps in diode mode from any of the parts , usage of voltage injector is risky.. it may damage that ic or the whole board

And even if you did not manage to fix something you still learned something new about a specific board

Blower cards get hate because they usually suck. The whole cooler needs to be re-designed from the ground up for optimal performance and manufacturers just opt out for the quick (cheaper) solution. Stick an axial fan on a crappy heatsink and of course it will over-compensate with higher RPMs. PlayStations have axial fans too, but Sony designed their heatsinks and fan size accordingly - so no issues there. 😉 Just like the ITX format you mentioned or portable computers (a.k.a. notebooks/"lap"tops) for example. They were never invented/designed for high performance gaming, those are compact size platforms meant to save space in work environments and/or be easily transported. There are exceptions, but they don't make the rule and you can pretty much count them on your fingers. Manufacturers' job is to sell you tech constantly, so like always - use your head, so you don't have to use your wallet again. 👍

@@em0_tion with regards to the heatsink and being cheaper. they follow the design of a normal datacenter gpu, so it is not so outlandish. i was just addressing all the flak they get. but there is one advantage, when people perceive them as shit, they become cheaper. so you can keep the blower or swap it out for a waterblock.

Overcurrent due to a short (the customer said it in the beginning)

Yup, 2 chips up top were glowing red

I noticed that too!

Each board has a serial number and is recorded in their system so it wont matter even if he has 2 or more identical boards on his table. We do the same in our shop.
