Right, except for the 2-3K in other equipment that he uses and needs. Yes he uses off brand and homemade stuff but that hardly means it’s cheap. It’s just cheaper.

[@dogosrobi]

@@Alexlfm I agree, my point was that unlike other channels, you don't see expensive brands being worshipped and mentioned in every video, he is not trying to convince you that X brand flux is superior to Y brand flux and his work is generally being done with whatever he has. Yes, he has 2k worth of equipment and does just as astonishingly good quality work, as others with 3 times worth equipment.

As always great video. I tried using gddr6x d8bgx on an rtx 3070ti that uses d8bww and that card had memory training errors. I also tried using d8bgw and that card worked with no training errors, passed all stress tests except OCCT which would complain about memory errors. So now I'm waiting for the correct GDDR6x to arrive and just replace them with the correct type.

Great skills you have there . Also on the memory question you asked i am not sure on that very good question i would like to no that one as well lol ty again keep up the great work .

[@PsychEngel]

About the speed of the memory chips. It's easier, then you might think. The bios has a fixed speed for the memory and chips with slower speed, can't get the higher speeds, it's nearly impossible, also the timings won't catch up. The memory chips with higher speeds, have the most time a little bit slower timings, but if they lower they speed, the timings went down, so it will work. The best way to see it is, if you look for XMP profiles on the memory for the Mainboard. If you ramp up the speed, the timings went down, but slower memory doesn't scale up the timings as good, as faster memory, if this makes sense.

[@damianpinnington5477]

Nicely done! Almost bought a Titan a while back, but it would have been overkill for my daughter's Dell T7500. Settled on an RTX2060 Black XC from EVGA. Glad I got it when I did... prices for EVGA have almost tripled.

About how fast and slow a memory chip can be is possibly related to what is in the bios. Putting on slower is pushing it over it what it possible can do because the bios thinks everything is fast. Faster is no problem because the bios doesn't know and the memory chip can relax.

I wanted to but I don't know what those terminals are called. Type and gauge or why ever name they have. Otherwise I would have built my own cable set instead of wasting money buying overpriced junk.

[@dano5238]

Another great video. I know next to nothing about these repairs. Could you add "pads" to to the missing ones on the memory chip to see if it was salvageable or is the chip no longer be good?

[@taskinyucekurt]

Probably pads ripped at 1st removal of the chip, then they cleaned the board, reballed and put same chip back thats why that chip has ripped pads.

[@intoxicode]

Have you ever tried upgrading the memory modules to a faster or bigger capacity and have a success?

[@arva1kes]

A bit odd question about the memory replacement. Arent the memory clocks in bios? As long as you run higher spec memories it will be fine as they will run below their specifications. I would assume you can swap them all to faster ones and they run on stock (factory memory) speeds. You can oc manually later in OS, but since bios has it oc limitations you might not be able to benefit from these higher frequency memories. All that said most of the higher end gpus have generous memory overclocking overhead so 14000=>16000 could be acheavable. I do have a question - if memory was balled improperly then could it be assumed that chip is fine and could be just put back on (instead of replacement)?

[@xenaguy01]

_"could it be assumed that chip is fine and could be just put back on"_ No, the chip itself had ripped pads.

[@jarivuorinen3878]

I don't think there's a limit to memory chips you can change even if you replaced all the memory chips with faster ones because the chips will still run on same frequency, as long as they are otherwise with same IO specs. I know that some companies even fit different brands of memory chips to hardware, and get away with it simply by recalculating resistances, inductances, capacitances, so practically changing analog components accordingly. Firmware, driver, and memory controller all work in junction sort of, memory chip itself is kinda generic stupid IC. Card performance would be the same as with stock chips, unless the GPU is memory capped, and then you'd probably still need to overclock controller somehow if you wanted to raise that cap. I may be completely wrong though but this is what comes to my mind.

[@stephenhood2948]

If it's anything like mixed RAM it will only run at the speed of the slowest module. I would think VRAM would be the same?? If that was the case you could use 1 slower VRAM module, but all the VRAM would run at the speed of the slowest module, and the card would run, but at a reduced memory bandwidth. Again, not sure if its the same with VRAM as it is with mixed RAM.

[@northwestrepair]

that is why you always put faster module.

[@stephenhood2948]

@@northwestrepair Makes sense. Great video!!!

[@fellpower]

Now i know, that a graphic card is no wonder - the magic happens in the core - the rest is Hühnerfutter - as we germans say ^^ :P

[@MrWez420]

try change all memory chips for faster ones .. it will still run slow speeds but then see if you can mod the bios to get the card to run the vram at faster speeds than it normally would to cater for the faster memory soldered on .. be fun to see if you could

[@northwestrepair]

Well I don't think there is a way to change frequency in the bios without hacking the bios 1st which no one has done. If that was possible, slower chips would simply not be able to keep up and get out of synk. That is why it works only when you put faster chips, not slower. I also don't think it's a bios setting but rather memory chips it's self. I can be wrong. Never experimented with soldering faster chips to see if that makes for higher frequency or increased performance.

[@kikihun9726]

Can't do that. You can modify the base and max freq in bios but since it is encrypted by nvidia, only a few russian hackers were able to modify it.

[@227suman]

😂😂😂@@kikihun9726

[@saltyexxer8253]

Don't the chips run at a speed determined by components elsewhere on the board? So basically the clock doesn't change and even though the chip is capable of running faster it's perfectly fine running slower. My guess would be that you can change out every chip for a faster one without any problem.

[@borisdg]

[@theoldbigmoose]

@@northwestrepair your pricing is incredibly reasonable!

[@TrueMathSquare]

I guess that both the firmware and drivers should run at it the lower clock speed and when you try a chip to slow then it trys to overclock it hints why it doesn't work as the chip can not handle it or has some type of built in protection to prevent overclocking etc... I wounder if you put a slower chip on but use software to oc it then would it work. That should tell you the answer.
