The danger of liquid metal on GPU 

We interrupt this GPU repair to bring you Preheater Station repair. Now back to your regularly scheduled reball.

Lets take a moment to appreciate how much self control he had here. He could have trolled the crap out of Northridge on this one, but he didn't. I feel a little choked up!

Splitting balls sounds painful.

Watched this at an airport and 4 other guys started watching this video with me.

Best repair channel on youtube. As a DIY enthusiast I can't get enough.

Reballing looks like magic when they all melt into the grid. I used to feel like hot tuna when I could replace 0805s. I can't imagine being steady enough for that super tiny stuff.

give the customer a nrf no fix discount lmao. actually wait, don't. that's too many cards you'd end up discounting

I finally subbed today after realizing how often I seek out your videos. Literally none of the other board repair channels do it for me man, your style of presenting and just talking about the work MAKES it interesting. Keep up the killer job man!🤘

I was noticing the core temps were a bit high and then you finished it off with the cherry on top.. sweet!

Excellent video. Your attention to detail is outstanding.

Great catch on the GPU heat, not many technicians go the extra mile! I just about stopped watching Northridge fix because he doesn't take troubleshooting and repair far enough.. You are one of the few that actually "WORK" on repairing cards. I am a big supporter of repair and don't like e-waste out there. Great job on this one and all the others. I really enjoy your videos.

GOAT repair I’ve seen on this channel. So good. Thanks for sharing it.

I have had the pleasure of watching many of your videos and I must say, I thoroughly enjoy them. Your expertise in electronics is truly commendable.

I watch your channel a lot, you have a great attitude & attention to detail in your work, it is art! Great music picks for this video with synthwave & having to repair your own repair equipment this time round was awesome. Keep up the great work!

I’m always in awe of your skills no matter how many times i see you do this.

such excellent work! i never tire of seeing you fix things :)

F'ing love your channel and your editing... its like "How Its Made", but with usefull info

Noticed the high temps. Great job as always!

GENIUS!!! Amazing work. YOU'RE THE MAN!!!

Great content, your repairs are awesome!

Hey mate great video love the editing keep going this way.

You truly are great! really enjoy watching your content.

Its always so therapeutic to watch the fixes. It was very odd to see the card run so hot, and the problem was just pads being slightly to thicc. Looking forward to the next video :D

6:04 Looking at the 16-pin voltage at 11.4V , 12V rail is very close to going below ATX specs, that it has to be between 11.4v and 12.6v . The power supply or the 12VHPWR cable is at its very limit.

good to see you giving your best on otherwise lost cards - thank you

Your videos have become legendary with the add-ins. 😂😂 The travolta oulp fiction made me chuckle pretty good.

not a huge fan of watching repairing videos. but you, you are making it fun and educative and also informative . love your works

after watching a few of your videos i had to sub. thank you for such interesting, intelligent, and fun videos.

Outstanding Skills and knowledge . The best GPU repair on the Globe ! Keep On Tony :)

These videos are great for relieving stress as they're just so satisfying.

Beautiful job man !!!!

Quality content as always!

My guy, you do miracles! Love your vids!

Man you not only earn a comment and a subscription but since i discovered your channel you earned my respect. Is not much but to me you are the NO. 1 GPU technician.

Love your work 🎉

You did such amazing work repairing that RTX 4090! You got my subscription and engagement. Keep up the great work!

Im impressed by your passion for electronics!I admire people like you!

Thank you for the most entertaining repair videos on youtube and for having awesome taste in music...❤

3:58 Man! This was friggin sick! Cool synth “Hackerman” vibes showing how godlike you are with how much bullcrap has to be done to fix HuMON error, more of scenes and music like this!! Props to the deep pockets of 4090 owners to spend 4090 money to deliver us this content!

Great work as usual.

Excellent repair work Tony.. its nice to see physically a "no rich fix" card.. thanks for giving the opportunity to witness one. 😂👍

You deserve a new SUB and a like! Very indepth checking and fixing!

I live for your core-reballing montages. Always a vibe. 🤘

This was super awesome!

This guy is so good at fixing, that he fixed his preheater while fixing a card!

An amazing video. Somehow so relaxing to watch this

Brilliant job!

Great work best repair guy

Always enjoy your videos

Wow! You are a real artist! Subbed and liked cause hey, maybe one day my 4090 will need your skilled hands

My comment to show support and Appreciation for your Video is as follows. -Big Thumbs Up

I love your sense of humor. In the other way, finally someone, who checks phases with scope and do the repair, not going for easy job and ripping money for no fix as that "other" guy. SUBSCRIBED 🙂

Great work!

it always amazes me watching such Knowledge ...it really is Art!!

I want to be like you when it comes to repairing things. I have learned a lot from watching you. Thank you for posting.

Nice! You're an angel of value! I find your videos so relaxing, as you make an impossible task to me look easy! I have a mind that continuously is searching for automation and improvements. The value you provide to the device consumers, the manufacturers (saving their brand in my view), the reduced e-waste, is so underrated. If I had the wealth I'd love to work in partnership with you to iteratively develop a fully automated system to problem solve and fix GPUs or perhaps a wide range of boards. Start with fundamental processes for solder de-solder of components as well as re-balling and cleaning pads, then the more challenging (almost artistic) work you do to repair pads and board cracks. Work on automating fault finding, etc., etc... It would be a real useful thing to process many more cards, indeed the concept could be staged for all sorts of repairs in the long term, such as data recovery or upgrades to boards, etc.. slowly expanding the business and capabilities for fixing and repairing things. Its work of the angels!

Blown away by the job you do sir amazing

Each time I'm surprised by the massive effect of the thickness of the pads on thermals

Amazing work as usual, you should be teaching these companies how to fix thier own GPUs

So Northridge wouldn't fix this? Amazing. I'm so glad I found and subbed to your channel

You have a great skill.

Great video, thank you friend!

Miracle worker, as always.

Insanely satisfying!

You sir, are the GPU GOD! Always amazing work that you do.

After those balls splitting I'll never see re-balling the same way.

What I've learned from this channel is that if I don't do dumb shit to my card it will probably be fine. So many idiots out there trying to get 2% improvement pay for it and get 0%

when you have to fix the fixxing tools, great video

good job on repairing that 4090. sir, you just gained +1 subscriber!

I love that mid repair the pre-heater breaks and dude just repairs it too x)

It is utterly criminal how few subscribers you have

you make reballing a GPU processor like its nothing. amazing work

I love how this guys makes fixing a GPU down to the very core as simple as fixing a toaster. 👍

I’m a big fan of your work. I don’t own a fancy graphics card. Yet alone one that needs fixing. But your impressive skill set, logical fault finding and methodical practices? They are so calming to watch. To see faults being fixed is always enjoyable. The special videos are those where you also undo the harm inflicted by others. Your customers have their cards fixed and returned. I get to watch videos that help me unwind after a bad day. Yep, for me, seeing this healthy 4090 is good for my state of mind and my blood pressure 😂. With thanks and best wishes. And please keep the videos coming…😊

Mate - superb work! What Nvidia Can't you will do!

I would give you my Granny to be able to do what you do You are truly gifted Man.

Best of the best! 🔥

Nice Work Friend!

I loved everything about this video.

I love the music drop timing.

You're awesome!

I know the cirurgic precision, effort and tools it takes to reball these cores. But I can't help to cheer for a reball every video. My mind goes: "Reball! Reball! Reball!"

Great video!

“Moses split waters, I split balls” Bro is speaking wisdom 😂😂

great video thx for sharing

Gratz !!!!🎉🎉🎉

Wow, awesome job. If that was my 4090, and you’d fixed for me. I’d say you are a Hero. I would given you big hug. Cus you deserve it. Not that I can afford 4090 here in Canada. But good job :)

Tony, when I need surgery I will turn to you first instead of wasting time with other medical professionals. Based on this video, and many others, you are clearly a genius. I don't think there is anything you can't do exceedingly well. I trust you with my life. Russ

very beautiful job you done there.

This is amazing

5 am here and i enjoyed the video.thanks

For the rithm of Algo!

Wow that trick at the end was magnificent.

Darn! I did not know liquid metal could leak this way! Also, did not know either that 0.2mm on thermal pad could affect temperature that much! oO Thanks for the video!

Insane. Subbed.

You sir are a hero to many...👍🏼💯👍🏼

Excellent work! You have to handle liquid metal with extreme care. I’ve applied it quite a few times now and learned how to handle it. But along the way had exactly this happen: a tiny speck of the stuff getting under one of the memory chips. Since then, I take more care to mask the surrounding area and apply as little as possible, adding more only if necessary. I wouldn’t recommend people using it, only if they’re enthusiasts and prepared for the consequences of a mistake.

An ACTUAL repair tech!

Not only are You good at fixing shit but the editing is nice, too! I had some chuckles and it was pleasing to watch. I might surf for no fix/damaged card and send it to You. How much was the fix, if I may ask?

Very satisfying fix.
