Gainward RTX 3080 with a blown chip. Two blown chips actually...

Is it repairable?

Nice pad restoration 👍

Thank you :-)

Very good repair. I like to see how you improve with each new video. I think I've seen you use superglue a couple of times if I'm not mistaken. Please do not use it, it becomes very toxic when you apply heat, and it also comes off. You can use silicone for ovens or even better transparent UV mask to stick the new pad to the plate after cleaning the flux very well. The pad will not come off. That 3080 has been reborn (what a luck)

Thank you :) and for the excellent tip with a transparent UV mask as well. I'll order some now, just to have it on hand. It's true that I used super glue, and that's because I had nothing better to apply.

You got very lucky my guy!

Yeah this card was a gamble for sure 😁
