@jarivuorinen387827 күн бұрын
In theory there is no no problem running wires over the board. Problem is that wires were in strange places, for example sequence and +3.3V rail definitely shouldn't be connected together, UNLESS either of those are redundant in this particular board design. And execution is poor, as wires ran over the board should be glued down and masked and cured properly, to fix them in place and protect them. Still, if properly executed, having long wires is not pretty, but it's electrically sound usually. Unless there's PCI-E dataline that needs to be phase matched to every other line, then your wire in that line also needs to be certain length, and it will create strange inductance stuff and noise, which may be within tolerance or not. I mean, inherently using wires to transmit power and in some cases even signals is okay. I still wouldn't do it. But hey, if it's 150 dollar card, and guy who did the shoddy work found it from a trash, it may just have been nice plaything to have, not a serious project to fix and sell. I do stuff like this myself, for myself, quite regularly, it's not meant to be sold. Of course if someone gullible stranger would offer money for my hacks that may work, I may sell, but there'd be no warranty lol. But I'd never market stuff like this as working GPU. Besides, if the core and memory chips are fine and dandy and seller knew it, they alone have some value. Who knows if this was meant just for parts.

You truly are a professional at what you do! I worked as a Mechanic/Tech for 50 odd years and repairing somebody else's work can just compound the repair work. The customer is always liable for correcting shoddy work and I always enjoyed making it right the first time even if it does not always go the way I want it to go. I sometimes have to go a lot deeper to find and repair other issues and I hate it that the owner has been left holding the bag for somebody's crappy work.

@Alvin8534 ай бұрын
At 17:30 you can see that the PCIe Slot power is way too high (it should be 75W max), that's why the card is throttling. But this makes perfect sense if one of the resistors is broken, because then no current sensing can happen, which makes the controller think the card is drawing too much power. Weird that it was working initially, maybe the previous repair bridged the broken resistor by accident.

seems like whoever fixed it previously has a good understanding of electronics and diagnostics but didn't want to deal with that crack so they fixed any broken connections with jumper wires, once the PCB gets put into a slot horizontally it flexes just enough to make one of the missed connections intermittent.

@NonLegitNation24 ай бұрын
i had the same model too and ended up knocking two resistors off when i replaced the thermal pads. i have no idea how since i was extremely careful, my assumption is i bought the GPU used off ebay and the weak soldering of the resistors wasn't my fault but the past owners fault. I was VERY lucky and found a local guy that was able to fix it and only charged me $60 for the fix. It took him 3hrs to fix it because he kept getting distracted by the music he was blasting and the beer he was drinking the entire time, lol. Edit: I actually considered sending it to Northridge Fix but he quoted $300 and an additional $100 if I wanted it fixed in a week. And there was no way in hell i was paying $400 when i had just spent $560 on the GPU.

Noob Saibot was the only character in UMK3 for whose moves the computer enemies had a lower chance of countering or blocking. It's actually built into the code of the game that when the frame comes where you would hit the computer opponent it rolls a chance whether to grab you or counter in any other way. The chance decreases on every retry of the level. It's how the arcade versions made you spend more coins. You would be tricked into thinking you're doing better, when you're actually only winning because you paid more.

It's atrocious, the shoddy work that has been done to this card, the guy is lucky you're a forgiving person, I'm surprised you would even consider fixing some other person's stuff. No wonder it crashes after a certain temp is reached. Good on you for even looking at this card
