EVGA 3090 FTW3 Not Detected - This one is weird.

Your mic have a problem.

Yes, the first 5 minutes, I don't know what happened.

[@RoxburysFinest617]

EVGA is still doing RMA's. I just got mine RMA'd a few months ago. I had it back in 6 days with a shirt. What great company.

Learned so much watching videos like these in last couple of years. Have a pile of stuff in the house that need fixing, including some retro computers. But SMD stuff? In his other career, Alex is a brain surgeon.

What a cliff hanger to leave us on, that is one crazy card.

[@mornax]

Right? I need to know how this works out!

[@bblod4896]

Will Alex solve the issue with this card? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Northridge Fix.🤠

[@BreadboardStudios]

Learned a ton from you over the years. Amazing work with these cards!

[@jafab5265]

This is by far an excellent video based on the fuse having a partial failure where it was acting like a resistor 12 V in 6 V out very interesting. It is very informative because it teaches us not only to check for continuity on the fuse but also to check voltage Across the fuse on the input side of the fuse as well as the output side of the fuse but nonetheless, the card still has another blown fuse. Now the question is what caused that other fuse to blow. It would be interesting to see a part two on this card. I would imagine it’s something on the 12 V rail that would be my guess but it could also be something else. This is still a very good video. It could prove to be a training video, especially if Alex is able to figure out what else is wrong with this card and actually get it to work by finding a chip that went bad a 20 amp fuse that went bad a Z fuse that went bad and who knows what else there must be another reason why that Z fuse, blue or perhaps just changing the fuse my correct the problem because when the chip went bad, it took that fuse with it and caused a partial failure of the 20 amp fuse very interesting. It’s like a mystery novel. There are two outcomes to this card either Alex will get it to work or it could be deemed a no fix.🤔

[@TheResoluteHawk]

You can't just change the fuse if there is a short circuit at one end. You have to find the shorted component. Typically if a fuse on the 12V rail is shorted, a component that takes 12V as an input is shorted to ground.

[@s7r49]

i love watching these videos but i wish i understood what any of that means lol

[@rent2ownnz]

Dude.. .you are having no luck today with this one... you are spot on... 101 faults with this card.

[@stevesmith3033]

You've got a lot of static sound on your recording Alex. You might have gotten flux on the connectors. This happens to me often. Use your 99% pure alcohol and your Kimtech wipes 😉

[@audiogek]

I'm wondering how you get all those donor boards? Do customers leave it for free when "no-fix" or do you maybe exchange it for the no-fix fee?

[@RomantkosPrint]

Thanks for sharing your videos, it would be great if you put the multimeter and power supply display on the screen so that the repair is more understandable,

@NorthridgeFix >>> 15:53 *I see deep scratch!* Top right corner.

[@wheeman999]

I think that's a bit of shit caught under the tape. It goes across the cap which is still there looking undamaged.

[@f3ryno580]

or maybe something on top of it....under gold tape

[@Imperious685]

I don't think that's a scratch, it's sitting on top of a capacitor.

[@desmondpkandemiri1971]

[@06stangsc]

What brand of card do you see the least of?

[@lolidasterner414]

Alex , having seen you repair so many desktop gpu cards , i want to ask you how often do you see failed gpus in laptops ? Not repaired or anything , just how often a failure in laptop is due to gpu. The only video i remember is the cracked gpu in a laptop that was no fix.

[@NorthridgeFix]

It's uncommon for a GPU to fail on a laptop. This was more typical in older models, particularly with brands like HP, Toshiba and MacBooks.

[@lolidasterner414]

@NorthridgeFix nice to know. Thank you for the info.

[@Shady-Gaming]

When high Mosfet dies it cooks GPU or CPU or both

[@lolidasterner414]

@@Shady-Gaming can happen true. But also depends on the model and manufacturer. For example may alienware or dell laptops that had burnt mosfets can't be fixed , while others can. Because the same mosfet dying in nearly every laptop of a series a brand is a design error , not something that is a random hardware failure. From what i remember from Alex's videos.

[@s7r49]

Really disappointed in EVGA with their 3090. Still have my 1080 and my gf's 2080. My 3090 died a week out of warranty, it seems like a lot of peoples 3090's died from evga. I thought about sending it in but it's got a waterblock on it and I'm sure the stock cooler is buried somewhere in my garage. (I don't believe the watercooling had anything to do with it it was fine for 3 years and i never had any apparent leaks.

[@WarKrow13]

Reminds me of my PC and all the random issues that it has

[@anthonydevito1298]

I am working on an EVGA FTW3 3080 right now that had a DrMOS die violently, which seems to be a trend with these cards. Makes me laugh a bit when people lament EVGA leaving the GPU space when this was their last card and it is so terrible haha.

[@SpAcE-gAdGeT]

stacic is real with this one

[@vr0k3n]

It's so weird to me that it's almost always the highest-end components that fail the most, regardless of the product's field

[@azraeldophoom7857]

That's called a Schrödinger's fuse. Quantum stuff.

[@space4ace582]

Fume extractor on. 😊

[@timbersrcadventures]

Well to start heat is the killer of all gpus a low end power supply is usually the next culprit, obviously no liquid damage visible, tho the main culprit is dust damage as dust traps moisture and if it gets on the wrong components it can cause damage, a power surge or static would have taken out more sensitive parts, so in conclusion to you asking for a essay on the topic a low end psu and dust damage! Fuze is only there to protect the psu because they put too high of a value and modern electronics are one and done so, so it may only protect psu from damage and not the device

Part 2 please

[@MrInsanityflea]

Thats a low side & high side mosfet in one.

[@Imperious685]

I once came across a Blown fuse that re-shorted after it blew. I was a 15A Microwave oven fuse with a spring at one end. The other end blew, then the spring part sprung towards the other end and reconnected the circuit causing the circuit breaker to trip. Most stupid fuse design I ever saw. I should have kept it and framed it.

Hello everyone. I wonder why graphics cards break so much, what causes them to fail, on the internet there are thousands and thousands of videos of graphics cards breaking, what are the most common causes that lead to graphics breaking so that I know how? take care of mine even more

[@TheResoluteHawk]

1) Improper cooling, which leads to heat buildup inside components. 2) Owners messing around with overclocking when they don't have any idea what they're doing. 3) Natural wear and tear from the card being used.
