Lol as a fairly sucessful dumbass i do belive its ones capacity for detail, once you can explain completely in your head the exact processes you are causing in your repair you wind up fixing corrrectly, if your me ugly as sin but correct lol. It is not what steps, but why the step, that leads to knowing and sucess. And you best love learning lol as all us nerds watching a repair vid from our reccomended list most definately do 😂.

As a heavily addicted electronics enthusiast, I have tremendous admiration for your work. Like you, I have no life other than being busy with electronics. No wife or girlfriend, they are not as interesting as a good electronic problem 😁 I follow dozens of electronics KZbinrs, but your work appeals to me the most. Your humor is fantastic. Keep up the good work!

[@Vile-Flesh]

"No wife or girlfriend" You are way ahead of most others in life. I would rather be dead than to ever get married. I live alone ever since I moved out on my own and that is how I prefer it and I can have as much junk in the house as I want and not have a demon nag me about throwing stuff away and spending more money on her and waste time trying to appease her.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

@@Vile-Flesh Amen, bro. My 4th relationship blew recently and still in the process of finding another place and getting the hell out of here. Trust me, I'm cured now. Your experiences with women are kinda like the ones I've had, woman that go nuts if objects aren't placed exactly where they want them, and trying to manage their man's life too, and when they realize you're not as mallable as they hoped you'd be, they spit you out. I'm telling ya, this last one has both a really, really mean streak and often shows signs of narcissism (I'd like to tell you a long, unbelievable story about this but this is YT, not a forum) because she NEVER apologises for her absolutely revolting behaviour. I feel nausea just thinking back. Anywho, once I am F-ed off out of here, I am going to dedicated the rest of my life to electronics and robotics. AI is for me a way more pleasant companion.

True, and it might also be a 3080 ti based on the memory module count.

[@tyrellwreleck4226]

Why did he give up? My first gpu repair take months and it's just a shorted bios

[@northwestrepair]

ah yeah, sorry. The reason for that is because i had Gigabyte 3070Ti in repair going next. ☺

[@TOml0l3times]

@@tyrellwreleck4226 He gave up because he was running out of ideas on what the problem was (because of lack of experience and knowledge). He got the GPU used for a very good price. So if he were to try to repair it (and take months to do it), then the GPU price would depreciate, making it not worth doing. So he decided to just send it to a professional and just sell it to get it out of the way. He also has a working 2080 ti, and he is content with that.

you give alot more detail to why you do everything and what tools you use for each step in your older videos. you have explained so much. learned alot from your videos. solder, flux, power phases being clear, learned how to manually find thermal pad sizes because everyone is wrong. just endless knowledge from your channel

[@dillon4813]

as a miner myself I used 1070tis. theyre all still working today. I dont know what some miners do to ruin gpus so badly. my mining gpus use less power, and run at 58 celsius. ive re sold most now just clean and put new paste and pads. i miss ether proof of work so much. at peak i got $900 in one month from 6x 1070tis. that year is what got me ahead in life. was like a part time job for a year.

Hello tony, i learn doing gpu repair from you, my first was a 3060ti, who is came alive after 3 hours of hard work, the gpu repair is not for everybody who want to try it, it demand a certain knowledge and some patience who everybody don't have. I'm from france and without all your videoz and some other, with not enough material like power supply, microscope, hot air station, boardview and all stuff we need to repair a gpu, i know i couldn't repair any of the gpu i receive. Before being a job, it need to be a passion for this kind of work, who everybody don't have. I probably have it from my father ! But i need to thank you to rekindle the flame who was in me for all of this years !

[@jeffm2787]

Problem with learning stuff on KZbin is not everyone 'teaching;' is doing things correctly. Home Improvement is one area where some of the people provide some really incorrect information. Been doing SMD work for about 15 years now, got all the correct tools, but I'm still just so so at it. Sometimes I get it factor fresh, sometimes it looks like a hack job. Keep teaching, we'll keep watching.

[@artgoat]

SMD repair takes a LOT of practice and skill. BGA repair takes that to the next level. If someone allegedly watched your video, they missed THAT lesson. I have 50 years experience with a soldering iron, and I'd STILL leave it to the people who have the muscle memory and reflexes.

[@Suresh_Pillai]

Hey Tony, excellent work.. your hard work and longer time spent on this card was well rewarded. It would have been nicer to send you this card in first place without any prior attempted repairs.. as always.. better than.. "better than factory". BEAUTY !! 👍😀👍

[@Tescin]

I love your videos. You are absolutely spot on with what you said about dreaming about your work. Whenever I'm learning a new skill, I end up having crazy dreams about the skill I'm trying to learn. I feel that's the way our minds work, sorting the new knowledge as we sleep. It's intriguing. Anyway, keep up the awesome work!

[@dizzy2020]

Whatever field you work in, EXPERIENCE is the most valuable thing you can have... So many people think classes/collage/training is the key to being able to do things - they're wrong - those things give you the basics but without actual hands-on experience you're as clueless as anyone else (which is why all proper 'on the tools' training has some hands-on/field experience element - and courses which don't are scams) When you goto a 'repair shop' of any sort, you're paying for their experience - not their tools or training - so get yourself as much as you can

[@bakzetary3145]

What you do is definitely the pinnacle of craftsmanship! Takes a bit of passion and a bunch of OCD, LOL! I wasn't surprised when you said you eat, drink and sleep GPU's! I'm here for the casual entertainment, and info of what kills GPU's, some brand recommendations, etc. If I "ever" get a newer GPU back for repair, you would be my go-to dude for the fix. But I only see older stuff and new replacements that are an upgrade is easy these days after the shortage. Since your a gear-head I'll tell you story: This head porter in southern Cali was a magician in making serious performance out of "ANY" set of heads. This was back in the 80's and 90's when there was more room for improvement over stock/OEM porting. (He saw my "hack-job" and made me buy stock replacements before he started his work, LOL!) This guy had no life: He lived in the corner of his shop behind plain plywood walls and a cot with his dog!!!!!

[@tostumpen]

As a former service tech on A/V equipment, I find it amazing that You are able to do this work, and I find Your videos very interesting and funny ( I find Your NRF parodies hilarous!). And You are absolutely right regarding how to learn theese things. You need super steady hands, knowledge of how electronic works, and perhaps the most important thing: talent! I myself world not try to do this, as it's too small and delicate for me. And this kind of work, is artwork! So to all who thinks they can DIY without having talent, equipment and knowledge (experience comes with time) to do this artwork: Heed the warning! You will destroy Your equipment!

Everyone isn’t going to be good at everything. I for one am good with mechanical systems, hydraulic systems, and even electrical systems. However I am not good with electronics! I’ve managed to repair some electronics before but when it comes to complicated stuff like this with ICs and microchips I know my limits. I guess I have to see how something works visually to understand how it works. While I can tear apart an engine or transmission, figure out why it failed, fix the underlying issue (even if it means re-engineering something and making modifications or a custom part) and build it better. I’m at a complete loss when it comes to modern electronics. Anyway I enjoy watching your videos even though I’ll probably never attempt to fix any of these things it’s fun to watch 🍻
