This is the only channel that makes videos I'd call "unbelievable" due to the sheer amount of skill required. This GPU was dead, and you pain-stakingly figured out the problem and fixed it. This has to be some of if not *the* best content on this platform, honestly.
It's a 3090, too! It'd be such a shame to ewaste that card, so seeing someone bring it back from the dead when it was that far gone is super satisfying. I wish technicians of this skill level were more common. There are lots of good GPUs out there that end up recycled or just straight-up in a landfill somewhere when they could've otherwise been brought back into service and delivered years of additional usage.
You take us places no one else can go. It's a pleasure to get to see you in action. There is hope for all GPUs thanks to you Tony! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Russ
@@williamworth2746 You don't. These are the quiet people. The people you don't find in comment sections, 'sharing' their youtube knowledge. The people with REAL skills are busy tinkering, working
What I admire in you is not your knowledge but the mix of experience and intuition you use in order to pinpoint the root cause. That's the virtues of a really good technician.
GDDR5X was fine, more or less, but the GDDR6X runs notoriously hot + with Samsung churning out 24 Gbps GDDR6 as of late, there's no longer a reason for Nvidia to continue using 21 Gbps GDDR6X with their upcoming 'Super' refresh. In any case, it's a good thing that Micron ditched its plans to make GDDR7X for Nvidia.
My 3090s memory runs at 60°C with a waterblock on it, the Core Max is at 58 - 60°C, the core average is 48 - 52°C. Yep 3090s run hot even with a waterblock on it.
My 3090 Strix runs at 60-64C in most stressful games, it can even run lower depending on settings and vsync game etc. Memory temps never go above 82C no matter the load. O11 Dynamic with 9 case fans.
Not only is your knowledge of micro electronics remarkable, your video editing is also top notch ! "... pull up, pull up, pull up ..." followed by a succesfull take-off of the CPU :)
Merry Christmas Tony! I liked the new aircraft power-on sequence. Hardware, education, entertainment, thought provoking puzzles, video games... Love this content!
It''s strange how one can enjoy these presision fixing videos so much. Same when somebody dissassemblys a clock and repairs it. Just relaxing to watch a pro doing presision work.
It's been weeks since i watched some of your GPU repair videos and noticed i haven't subscribe yet lol. Your knowledge on GPU repairs are remarkable! Really entertaining to watch.
Yours and other channels like this make me want to learn electronic engineering, GPUs were just magic black boxes to me but i started researching them for a PC build and all those little components working together is so fascinating.
Wow so many details, so much knowledge thank you for giving us this videos, even tho i know I will never fix a GPU its soo good to see you work on one. keep it up.
The best GPU repair channel to date! The other channels just keeps spewing the same nonsense of using heatguns and baking the GPU. Yours is the proper way to do it and I do hope other popular tech channels try to get a hold of a proper technican such as you to repair GPUs.
Nice save! I'm still waiting for you to use the clips from the Fifth Element, were the Jamaican guy is refueling the cruise ship and asking for heat. "Give me some heat man, I need heat man!" lol :P
Who are you and how are you not working at like some CIA forensics lab or something. These are some incredible skills, knowledge and thought processes!
If you drop the speed on the memory by just a little bit you can decrease temps by alot. High end cards with high clocked memory can usually take small underpower hits no problem.
These videos are so visually appealing......editing is getting way better keep it up good sir..btw I have a 1060 GPU i jeed refurbished. Where s that address I sent it to?
So glad I upgraded to a 4090 FE. I had an EVGA 3080ti FTW3 Ultra and it ran insanely hot. It was the best 3080ti but hardly kept up in CP2077 with Path Tracing at 4K.
That's only because you CAN reflow lead solder. Unlike lead-free, that turns into crispy trash from reheating. So, to anyone thinking of putting their card in a toaster oven, don't. You may get a few days more, but the solder will crack, and then you'll have bad caps to go with your troubles. Send it in for repair. Contact info on his main page. Also: Happy Holidays.😁
@@davidbolha It's all made with lead-free solder paste. They screen paint it on, just before pluck-and-place adding of parts. So, to answer your question, no, it's not safe for motherboards, game systems, phones, or anything else. You need a solder station, fresh solder, tons of flux, lots of cleaning, and an f'load of practice.
ReballMaster - Tony, compare to first attempts and nowadays - how much less time does this procedure takes you? Thanks for showing always all diagnostics steps.
At 4:34 right before you apply the flux, you can see 2 balls on the top that did not solder correctly, the reflow probably fixed that, that might have been the problem.
