RX 7900 XTX: The Memory Error Fix You've Been Waiting For

[@RMabudabi]

3:28 glue probably because during mining boom, when videocard placed vertically, hot thermocompound and thermopaste flows into bottom, downwards to PCI-E slot, shorting all chips like GPU and Memory, probably causing warranty return

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Thank you for sharing. Unless liquid metal other thermal paste or compound are not conductive. So that is not a cause of shorts. The idea of manufacturers to put glue at the bottom is to avoid pads getting ripped off or solder getting cracked. But the solution they are using is ineffective and only thing it does is making repair difficult.

[@davidthepilotdude5804]

​@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7qlCan you make a video with your thoughts on liquid metal, good uses, bad uses and clean up if it spills on the dye. Stuff like that?

[@TechnologyHive]

Clearly board partners using this black goo do not understand what is happening here, which causes most memory related problems. They think that by adding some cheap glue around memory chips, it will prevent cracked joints or ripped pads. This is how out of touch they are when it comes to rework. So stupid. I hate those little SMD's around the memory, btw! What a pain in arse! Great video btw!

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Yes the only thing it does is make repairs difficult. 😂

good vid, good to see all the little separate processes and less of the "heres one i did earlier" 👍✌️

Thank you 😁

Excellent work! 👌. I am wondering, i won a auction for a Sapphire 5700 XT Nitro + Special Edition the other day for cheap, i knew that i was getting a card that does not work as it should, but though that i might be able to fix it or at least figure out what was wrong with it, also would be an upgrade from my Sapphire RX580 Nitro+. The seller had changed the thermal pads and paste but that did not fix the problem. The problem is that it (It also has a 3 way BIOS switch) at cold boot might (if lucky) get you as far as to windows log in but after that it freezes, after that it's just a quick boot screen or just a black screen with the RGB and fans on the card working hmmm. I have tried perhaps 90% of the fixes out there, not the 2x individual 8 pin power plugs though. The system i tested it in (650W, and not my main system) did only have a split 2X 8 pin. Grateful for some help on this one.

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Feels like a dead core to me. I am certain that memory test will pass. You can try memory test first.

Great job!

Hola buen dia me podrias pasar los datos de cuantos milimetros son los thermal pads ? te lo agradeceria demasiado

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

1.5mm on memory

[@thecalagm6435]

​@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql muchas gracias y los vrm ? Y backplate ?

[@thecalagm6435]

Que medida tienen los pads de los vrm ??

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

The card is gone. I will have to check and get back to you.

Hello! Can you tell the thickness of the thermal pads in memory , I can't find it anywhere (

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

It's 1.5mm for the Memory.

[@eFixcenter]

how to use internal graphic ? in may case when I select igpu monitor blank after setting save..Please guide me Brother

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

I feel it could not be saving the settings. Is the CMOS battery charged?

@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql i did it because of you.i watch your shappire nitro video then I did same setting with my MB and Done :) Thanks brother

[@alpha416game3]

i have the same card and i live in qatar, can i ask what size thermal pads to use on this card?

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

It's 1.5mm for the memory.

[@MouseSpart]

i have the same card, is there any memory upgrade available for it ? like to increase from 24gb to.. more? :))

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

None of the AMD 6000 and 7000 cards can be upgraded. They all use the highest capacity memory produced which is 2GB. There are no memory slots left empty.

[@15dejo]

Can you tell me which one program you use for testing amd vram please 🙏 I like your videos and I am subscribed, you really shareing a good knowledge here, thanks for video :) :)

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Yes this one is memtune used for testing AMD GPUs. Remember tserver does not work with RX6000 and 7000 series.

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

I had clients who build their own PC "because they are so smart" and thought that they don't need that weird thing they found in the box (anti-sag bracket) so they managed to damage their video card even if they had what it was needed in the box (instructions included).
