[@MrFoxRox]

Thank you for repairing the GPU. With the memory IC replaced it is as good as new. The card has spent most of its life on a water block and custom loop and I put the hybrid cooler on only for your repair. I missed the plastic pad protector as I scurried to get it boxed up and sent your way. It was only there to keep the thermal pads clean while the hybrid cooler was in stroage. I also forgot to put it back on the stock BIOS. It was running warm on the 2000W vBIOS with elevated voltage. After moving the BIOS selection switch back to stock it runs as cool as a cucumber.

[@bravocortez4087]

I have this same card and it's artifacting as well. Did you accidentally switch the overclock mode on? was that a hot key or did parts really need replacing?

[@MrFoxRox]

@@bravocortez4087 the GPU needed a damaged memory chip replaced. If I remember correctly it had a torn solder pad. The problem started when I accidentally slammed down the CPU case hard while moving it, which jolted the GPU and that is when the artifacting issues began. It had nothing to do with overclocking.

"Let's take some measurements in case you need them" -- this here is outstanding service for us viewers, and you do it although you wouldn't have to. Thank you, good Sir, and have a lovely week :)

[@brocktechnology]

It's awesome to be sure that he's thinking of us "apprentices" in this way but in practice this information is close to imposable to find when you need it. I will reserve "outstanding service" for then these measurements turn up in a spreadsheet in his google docs folder. I kind of sound like a dick there, Northwestrepair doesn't owe us anything, I'm hoping to offer constructive criticism.

[@2xKTfc]

@@brocktechnology You can actually search youtube videos by captions! So that information is more accessible than it seems to be. :)

[@brocktechnology]

@@2xKTfc That's a great tip, you can bet I'll be looking into that, thankyou.

[@2xKTfc]

@@brocktechnology It really is! However, it is not yet convenient, at all. Sometimes, when you search on the KZbin site, it'll show you timestamps with an excerpt of the captions highlighted next to it (similar to how the Google results highlight the search term). There also used to be the Chrome/Edge browser extension "KZbin Caption Searcher" that let you search in the whole transcript of a single video (great for finding something again in a 3-hour long conference talk or lecture video or so), but apparently that extension disappeared because it "violates the Chrome web store policy". We can't have nice things, go figure... I'm still waiting for Google to integrate the KZbin caption search into Google in a fashion that's actually useful, that would unlock so much great info that nobody ever finds because it's hidden away in hourlong or obscure videos.

[@Ojref1]

I have the 2080 Hybrid version of that card. That Asetek sourced liquid loop has been used since the 900 series, its not terrible, but over time it will evaporate liquid from the lines. If you source a broken 980-10x0 or another 20x0 hybrid the loop of those are pretty much interchangeable. Also thanks for ID'ing the card's USB-C power circuit. I suspected they weren't dumb enough to pull that port's power from the mem/core regulators and that confirms it.

[@bignicnrg3856]

Great work yet again. It's mesmerizing watching your videos

[@leorickpccenter]

hahaha. really enjoyed watching this one. Thank you.

[@GainingDespair]

Yeah, these are always sealed AIO's and generally (but not always) off the shelf units with special brackets. Which means if you can figure out which model it is you can buy a larger identical model but remove the bracket to improve the cooling. Some folks just use after market kits to cool these with CPU AIO's but they don't cool the rest of the card, and 99.995% of the time it requires the removal of any base plate/backplate. The PCB's generally sag a good bit, and I can't imagine its good for it either.

Also, the thermal pads looked like half of them didn't touch anything. If that's how it came from the factory and even EVGA (RIP) built cards without checking if it makes sense we really can't trust anyone. :/ Going to buy a Radeon card in a few weeks and it feels like a lottery, all AIBs for both "Team Green" and "Team Red" have at least a couple corpses in their basements.

[@sidthetech7623]

We need to dodge shady proprietary companies. There is one big fruity one I know of that is taking the steps to ensure their products cannot be repaired behind their backs. I get the whole ego of "quality", but I find the quality goes out the windows (no pun intended) with unrepairable, or expensive over priced repair schemes that push the consumer to buying new and starting the grift all over again. Make this stuff repairable. Keep your products from becoming bricks to their customers. Reduce e-waste. Many older working devices can still serve a purpose for their capabilities. There is old code that works, but the problem is the push for new hardware, pushes new code, which pushes old code and backwards compatibilities out. This is why eventually your iOS won't update an old Phone/iPad to the latest. Instead of investing in porting software to be compatible, the companies obviously opt for a more money making technique. Trash it and sell you a a new one. That value invested is essentially wasted. Imagine putting that in gold, or tangible things that will last. Your money value will hold a lot more than these consumer electronics products of which you'd be lucky to maintain productive use after 5-10 years.

i dont understand soldering the little balls under the chips. Is there a trick? .. i never seem to see you placing the little balls there, you just swipe over it .. and they are there. Or do you not have to drip a bit of metal onto each contact point?

[@northwestrepair]

You can't see them because of the viewing angle.

[@Alfadrottning86]

@@northwestrepair yes - but what i meant was - do you have to drop a little bit of solder on each pad? or is there some sort of (magic) or mechanism to just swipe the solder over the whole area ... while the solder only "sticks" to the little contacts instead of creating one big splash of solder over the whole area. I cannot really explain it maybe (English is not my first language ... and technical things like these are far from my comfort zone) Was only wondering because i would despair if i had to drip a tiny bit of solder on a hundret or more microscopic pads ... always running the risk that those little things could just "roll" to its neighbour and merge to one big blotch of solder - hence ruining all the effort.

Is it worth dissasembling a newly installed high end graphics card to see if the thermal pads are in contact with memory etc,seen a few vids with the film still intact,are manufacturers doing this randomly to make cards fail sooner? Whats your thoughts?

[@northwestrepair]

Absolutely. If I ever buy brand new GPU, or a GPU that has never been opened, I would make sure memory MOSFETs or drmosses (which ever are used) have pads on them contacting the radiator. Sometimes they don't put pads there for what ever reason. For used card, absolutely. Open it, reapply paste just to be sure. But do he careful. A lot of people with shaky hands damage the card by simply trying to replace paste.

How to use IQ to avoid buying cards with coil whine.

[@northwestrepair]

Coil whine is not a problem, it's an annoyance caused by cheap component base. Cheap could will whine but they will not cause any issues otherwise. Ignore the whine or buy different model. Sometimes same model but different revision pcb will have different components. The revision is printed on the pcb at the pcie slot next to the hook somewhere. If you buy another card, make sure the value on there is greater then what you have. Hopefully later revision addressed the whine problem. But you never know.

[@2xKTfc]

Even knowing the exact coils they used (which is almost impossible, unless you buy off Craigslist and can look at the card in person beforehand) might not help you, whether a coil whines can depend on external things like the game (and settings) you run in it, the shape of the voltage your PSU supplies on 12V (i.e., more/less ripple etc) and even on the exact voltage you get from your wall socket, and a lot of other things. Of course some coils will whine almost certainly and others not at all, but "it's complicated", unfortunately.

Ic monitors are not very accurate (measurements have to go through motherboard pcb, circuits, ics) an even if measurements are good, sometimes software is not entirely compatible with the ic hardware monitor, you need to apply common sense: with 2.5v almost any cpu would be fried within seconds, so 2.5v its obviously a bad reading
