[@Babbages]

it's a old ps3/360, laptop GPU fix really but I've been telling him for years whenever I see him do it to get a bottle of liquid flux it makes this fix way more reliable because it can help bring temp under GPU higher, flush out corrosion under it and mend cracked solder balls just a heat gun is like throwing a bandaid on a cut while with flux would be equivalent of using duct tap and toilet paper just way more sturdy of a fix lol

[@Babbages]

@@hexusmexus6971 yeah like a band aid fix without a actual reflow station it can never get hot enough to reflow it fully I always just throw no clean liquid Flux under if I use heat gun method because sometimes older cards can have oxidation on pins and balls and it cleans that off and can sometimes cause a more permanent fix but you are rite it's never a real fix with a heatgun.

And THEN act super surprised when it runs intermittently for 2 days and then fails outright again. 1% actually know WTF they are doing.

[@czguy3045]

Awesome! A couple years ago, I bought two GTX 480s for dirt cheap. Was good seller but I went about a year before installing one. It worked for about one second and the power supply blew up. Well, it blew one cap. I test everything in a backup backup backup system so no big loss and the power supply didn't take out anything with it.

[@lukemcclusky7392]

I’m still running a gtx 480 lol got the gigabyte edition with 3 fans so the fire risk isn’t there lol runs perfectly fine even by today’s standards

[@SianaGearz]

Caps that are severely degraded from use and which are then sat around for years without being turned on are suspect even if they worked before, they might blow the next time they're brought rapidly up to operating voltage, as the polarisation of the cap may not be intact any longer. I don't even know whether the GPU contributed to that, it starts off in a low power mode, like sure you expect some extra heat in the can due to the burst load, but if the capacitor oxide layer is no longer fully formed, the only way to get it back on is gradually raising the voltage over hours, full voltage no-load condition isn't going to be very helpful at all.

[@FearThePegasus]

The heat gun method you used is called reflowing, what you are doing is melting the solder underneath the GPU which when it cools down can reconnect bad solder joints that weren't making proper connection to the actual motherboard of the graphics card. The proper way to do this also involves using a good amount of flux to make sure the melted solder hardens on the proper contact pads.

[@erfansoltani678]

Thnx for the informations

[@DarkoPetreski]

You don't fix that problem with a reflow, only by replacing the chip. You CAN'T reflow the bumps on the flipchip, so flux is useless in this case. You just put a bandaid on the problem, and sooner or later the flipchip connections will loosen up and it will stop working again.

[@amirpourghoureiyan1637]

@@DarkoPetreski Depends if the chip's damaged, most time it's not and you can get away with re-balling the package. You wouldn't do this with normal ICs since there'd be replacements available, but GPU packages aren't nearly as common so you might as well get a new board if the package is truly dead.

I've done the heat gun trick on a gtx 670 a couple years ago,....my nephew still runs that card daily. Awesome content as usual!

[@SianaGearz]

@LabRat Knatz i have a hard time believing that the heat gun action as shown gets the card up to the liquidus. There have been a number of issues in that era, including lack of underfill, bad thermal expansion coefficient matching, a lot of things went wrong at once. Of course these materials worked "fine" when softer leaded solder was used and when power density wasn't quite as high, but well things changed. But ceramic and tantalum caps are worth an extra thought, when they go faulty, they sometimes recover when heated up. Not quite ideal but the issue might not crop up again after.

RandomGaminginHD : I appreciate you being an "old" soul for the GPU-s....but the THERMI (Fermi 1.0 and Fermi 2.0) were one of the WORTS NVIDIA GPU-s ever made. They were stuttery, poorly equipped for and near or far future, HOT and LOUD and ate nuclear amounts of power. This GTX 580 you have here had a 244 Watt TDP....in reality it ate around 290 Watts as a GPU alone and exhailed HUGE amounts of STEAMY HOT AIR inside a case due to its inefficiency. I had both GTX 480 and GTX 580 later on when they were released and I've "scrathed" by nerve for them in less that a day of gaming. The GTX 680 was much more efficient and a complete overhaul of the architecture that presided all the was to Pascal refreshed RTX 2000 series in 2018.

Don't forget to check the ASIC Quality in GPU-Z _(only for old GPU's, sadly)._ You can google what it is and what it does.

Highest I got was 92.2% on a Palit GTX 670 back in the days. New owner was getting it for Witcher 3, and was quite happy with it.

If you have never tried the oven regiment you should. As long as your oven gets up to 550 you can use it a toaster oven is a great idea basically you put the card in for three or four separate stages the starting off with a heat of like 230 for 30 minutes then you crank it up another hundred degrees another 30 and just rinse and repeat. Let it cool completely before you touch it or move it. Usually a couple of hours and then give her a go. Works better than a heat gun every time but not as good as true board repair

Audio seems to be a lot quieter on this one. I had to crank it all the way up to even hear you. KZbin says your audio is at -15.6db! That's lower than pretty much any video I've watched. Even -11db was enough not to be able to hear you on my old airpods. It'd be good to normalize it at least above -6db. And, no, I don't know why KZbin doesn't ever automatically normalize audio, even though it can clearly detect when it is too low.

@@incognito9292 Yeah, no. Multiple comments talk about it. The video is really quiet. It's nearly twice as quiet as the other video I'm watching right now.

Now is the right time for you to send me one GPU from your collection, one that I can use nowadays, sir!

[@gummyyummy4340]

Ur hilarious thanks for the amazing tech content

How rare would you say a Gainward Rampage 700 Golden Sample "Goes like hell" edition card is? It's a chonky triple slot HD 4870x2, slightly overclocked from factory.

[@findRED]

Sounds like a nice find. In the USA those would be rare as Gainward was usually not sold in our market

[@balllzdeep420anthonyeddins9]

When you reflow the GPU die you should add flux around it to help the solder stick

[@killernukem5914]

Cool video man

[@nocturnalnights27]

7:22 Bus interface: PCIe x16 1.1? Hmm That should suffice but I know that card should be PCIe 2

[@DarkoPetreski]

The pcie bus slows down when the card is not in use, it's normal.

Wouldn't worry a bit about a receding hairline, matey - it made absolutely *no* difference in pulling birds whatsoever. I couldn't pull them before I lost my hair and I couldn't pull them.afterwards either.

Fun video as always! I have a question for ya! I have a card that looks similar to this in storage right now. I don't know if it's a platinum edition or not but I am curious to check. Would you happen to know how much these platinum cards would normally be listed for on the used market? Would be cool to know if I had something valuable in storage all this time.

[@RandomGaminginHD]

Hard to say, the best bet would be to auction it online, but only if you want to risk it not selling for quite what you want

[@Gabriel-jp4um]

@@RandomGaminginHD Honestly I may just do that. Would be better served in someone's hands who collects this stuff. Thank you for your response!

[@VoldoronGaming]

Do you have the original box?

[@Gabriel-jp4um]

@@VoldoronGaming Sadly I don't think so.

[@m3gAnac0nda]

Nice hair cut, enlisting in the Royal Army?

[@Sunlight91]

Are these ASDA boxes in the background?

[@twizz420]

10:11 of course it wouldn't start in DX12 mode. That card only supports DX11.
