Asus Strix GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card Repair - Stuck at 139mhz, Not Detected, Computer Won't Power On

Good video, with your teaching i was able to fix my own first GPU. It was a 2060 with a blown fuse and a shorted tantalum Polymer. Thank you very much for the content !

[@Friend_of_the_One-Eyed_Ladies]

15:00 gpu also reports that it's throttling due to power consumption (PerfCap Reason at the bottom of the GPU-Z list).

Great video as always, congrats on keeping them interesting with lots of weird, difficult repairs! And of course congrats on the successful repair, another card saved from landfill

there's one, Eli Tech, but he's no longer making video since 2018-19. However, Tech Cemetery explain the repair process better than Eli. Some people here complained about how Tech speaking too fast (its not that fast really), but Eli explain everything like a genius doctor on weed

[@Androbeast472]

@@murdermachine9 ya but Elitech does. Not explain in details as Cementry

[@ErmineFPV]

Your videos are great. It’s satisfying to see expensive hardware saved from the landfill. What kinds of resources do you use? Are there official diagrams for these cards or do people just reverse engineer them?

[@TechCemetery]

Most people who learn to fix graphics cards ( myself included) did so by buying them broken on eBay and reverse engineering them. This is how I prefer to work on graphics cards despite the fact that schematics etc can often be found on shady Russian websites.

[@franciscogessinger9488]

Nice job as always, but PGCE17 isn't missing on the PCB on one of the phases?

[@TechCemetery]

I can't believe I missed that, yes it's missing. I'll have to add back onto the board later.

[@franciscogessinger9488]

@@TechCemetery it's part of the job, specially when dealing with multiple issues on one device, plus look's like it was ripped out on a previous attempt of repair or cleaning maybe. I've decided to post this just because the additional ripple can do damage to the VRM in a long term and kill the card again. Keep up with the good work, and sharing your expertise here with others really helps make this a better world.

[@trouble_maker023]

That was a hard one, but you absolutely nailed like always 👌

[@willjohnsonjohnson]

Had an old 9800GT that melted the PCB. No fuse and the power supply was single rail so it sent all 80A through the dead mosfet. Made a nice light show inside my case.

[@johnwalker2468]

Do you have a list of failure modes you’d like to show in the channel? I’m sure plenty of us who fix these cards might have a suitable candidate to send you!

[@TechCemetery]

Absolutely, there are a couple of rarer issues that deserve their own video. One particular one I'm looking for is a card that displays the message "Please Power Down and connect PCIe cables" etc.. even when they're all connected.

[@1989johno]

This guy man !!! I feel like you can hand him an empty GPU and it would come back running... How hasn't he got more subs ?!?

[@carlsysad]

Another amazing repair. Do you have a boardview when dealing with cards like this?

[@TechCemetery]

I don't use schematics or boardviews. Like most people who learned to fix graphics cards, I bought them broken off of eBay and worked on them for some time before realizing you could download schematics etc from shady Russian websites.

​@@TechCemetery do you mind linking some useful materials to consume for somebody whos just starting with board repairs PS i know nothing about electricity or boards but i love this feild the troubleshooting phase is what draws me into it

[@accurian148]

Ah yes literally my nighmare repair, i've seen a lot of burned cards ended up as a donor cards. Few days ago im asked to repair zotac 1060 which doesn't have a fuse and the vram literally looks like it just exploded. Also im quite surprised that the top phase is still working after that damage. Lesson : a $1 fuse could save the day

[@trouble_maker023]

if they added fuses they would have to charge 1200$ to recover from the component cost

[@dtiydr]

A fuse and you wouldn't need to buy a new card, yea that how dam nasty they are.

[@trouble_maker023]

@@dtiydr in all fairness the card can still die because of other factors, but having fuses at least prevents fets from literally exploding in most cases

[@dtiydr]

@@trouble_maker023 I don't care about any fets what so ever, my thought are 100% towards the gpu. With fuses its a much bigger chance that the gpu survive fex 12V right into it then to guarantee 100% be destroyed without a fuse in a similar case, and the gpu is also the most expensive piece of silicon on the board so you the best for it as long as possible. The memories are the next and they cost as well but still way cheaper than the gpu and also easier to get hold on. Any other component on the board that could break is peanuts in value, but as long as the gpu is alive you would have very good chance to save the card with only a little lower amount of money. I have planned to put fuses on mine 1080 ti but I just don't know the right values.

[@matthiash.4670]

The lesson is: Go and buy a good power supply. Not that kind of cheap 750W single-rail welding machine stuff. So many times I see really expansive PC hardware, but the owner brought a budget supply.

[@veselinvasilev5739]

True that. Just because it says 750w doesn't mean it's good. It's always better to buy 600w decent supply for about the same price. And the odd part, the "weaker" unit delivers steadier voltage and equal or higher power (wattage). Who would've thought 80 plus ratings aren't just a fancy badge?

[@accurian148]

Even a good power supply still can be sucks, the most important thing is the OCP and i've seen even some good and expensive power supply failed to shutdown immediately after a short is detected.

[@veselinvasilev5739]

@@accurian148 I do not disagree on that, but buying a good power supply always increase your hardware's survival chance

[@daich]

Have you ever seen mats give a pass but not do the whole blinking blocks dance? in the same setup with a known working card, I get the blinky blocks dance on screen, but with a faulty 1080ti it just pauses like it's running something (the larger the test value i give it, the longer the pause, so it is doing something in the background) and then the usual results blurb comes out and says pass.

[@ewardw6062]

hey dude first of, thank you for this very detailed video. i must say i am now well informed about the all the voltage railing on some vcard should have. anyways.. dude have you encountered a graphics card that boots up but its all black. I've replace the the enable chip and tested all the railing its all good . The GPU chip heats normal too. should i update the bios? just to make sure?

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I am surprised you don't add a zero ohm resistor to the power feed. Or fuse where it would sense the load.

hi man nice vid!! i got a 1060 strix . yesterday after saw 1080ti video, i check voltage on 1v8 coil, PEX coil, 5v Coil. and vrm and core. everyone was fine except the PEX VDD. in the 1060 you can find it to the right of the 3v3 rail from pci. i check the controler nb671, and re solder. and when i plug everything., i check the 1.8v coil, and was fine, but at the moment to check de PEX VDD coil i made a short with the probe.. and after that, the 1.8v Coil doesnt show anymore voltage. now i got short in the pin 7 of the nb671 (pex circuit) to the pin 8 and 9. and the same in the 1v8 circuit. i remove the bn671 from pex and the short still in the pcb. GND to pin 7 short, gnd to pin 8 and 9 , short. i try to find in the schematic why the 1v8 phase blown up... i cant find a point where they connect each other... pex coil 4omhs 1v8 coil 0 omhs. can you give some idea?? thanks and Great videos! a lot of knowledge

[@gndworkshop]

i forgot. i remove the pex and 1v8 coil. short still. i remove the 4 caps after the coil those who filter. and the short still. i remove some cap on the backside that was conected to the pex vdd and nothing... maybe i got and issue in other side....no power rail in short. should try remove bn671 from 1v8 section?

[@gndworkshop]

and i found that the memory coil, now show 0 omhs. before show a higher number....

All voltage rails are present and resistances look in the normal ranges you specify (PEX is a little low at 45 ohms). vCore does initialize.

[@matthewnaisbitt4550]

Hey. Great video as always. I have become an avid follower and actually do a lot of repairs myself. It does actually bring a question though. I am having issues where a mosfet will blow and after changing it out and all measurements back to normal. Put it on test and then, boom, the mosfet nearest to it will blow, this has become like clockwork now. Until I end up changing almost everything from the phase. All mosfets, drivers and doublers? Is this normal or am I missing something. Thanks again. And great work.

Just ran into this exact problem on a Asus 1080 ti turbo. I lost one of the 10 ohm resistors trying to repair the pad for the cap. Thank you so much for showing what caused the locked cpu frequency and saying what ohms the resistors are. I stole one from a PS4 board but got the wrong one and put on a 1000 ohm, the card works, but with this exact symptom. The cap was also ripped off the board and I don't know it's value. I think I replaced with the right one but I'm not 100%. Do you know the value of the cap that's in line with those 2 resistors?

[@chrisv6126]

Found the correct resistor, measured one of the other caps and got 10nF. Found a replacement cap on a spare PS4 board. The card is working great. Thank you again.

[@amiltonfcjunior]

I have an RX 590 that is detected but won't install drivers, and booting with another GPU as video output, I can see unreal huge power consumption in the Sensors tab of GPU-Z. What can I do to fix it? It doesn't have the same circuitry to measure power consumption like nVidia does, right?

[@TechCemetery]

Has a MOSFET been replaced on it recently?

[@amiltonfcjunior]

No, nothing has been replaced yet. It just failed while using and then when I restarted the machine, it shows some vertical noisy artifacts, with characters/symbols randomly showing as well.

[@TechCemetery]

@@amiltonfcjunior In that case, I have to say you likely have a memory related error, and that the absurd power consumption is just a symptom of the drivers not properly loading.

[@amiltonfcjunior]

You're right, there's a chance of being the memory chips. Are the random characters/symbols a sign of memory corrupted data, and the vertical artifacts a memory defect itself?
