[@Sevlagoth]

Wow, those are some impressive repair skills. Most repair shops would just give up on the card.

[@syncmonism]

Most wouldn't even try, and wouldn't even know of any business to refer you to.

[@G34RH34D]

It would probably end up costing the customer more than to even bother paying to get it repaired. This is worth it if you have these skills, buy a GPU that doesn't work for cheap and fix it only to flip it.

[@swisstraeng]

@@G34RH34D Except you'll need to buy all the necessary tools for the repair too, which are worth a new GPU or two in themselves...

[@britkasablja007]

You are next level man, most of those services would give up or would not waste time...

You know these successful repairs make me happy, like seriously it's sad to see such beautiful powerful cards go to waste.

[@awall1701]

You make this look easy when I know in reality you have beyond next level skills. I know very little about graphics cards but I certainly enjoy and appreciate what you are doing.

[@cannondaleryder87]

I recently moved from Ohio to the Philippines and shipped my PC. When it arrived, I can tell that the box it was in had been dropped because the tower cooler was slightly bent. I turned on the PC and the fans on my RX 6800 spin but I get no video signal. This video has given me hope that it might be fixable so now my problem is finding a reputable repair shop. Thanks for your videos and I look forward to watching more of them.

[@northwestrepair]

Typical problem. Never ship GPU installed inside PC. Its weight will crack PCB. Look at the PCIE slot on your card. Toward its end (where hook is) its likely to be cracked.

[@cannondaleryder87]

@@northwestrepair I don't see a crack, but just forward of the hook, the back plate is slightly pushed toward the PCB and a scuff mark on the outer edge of the PCB above it.

[@iamjadeenn]

Congrats on getting out of Ohio lol :):

[@jacobmar2797]

I'd like to see a breakdown video where you explain everything about the clean up process, how soldering tiny IC chips is different from soldering wires, etc. Thanks!

It was nice of KZbin to recommend me this channel.

[@HFamilyDad]

Exquisite! Good to see the EVGA side of things aren't to blame, sorry to hear their latest state of affairs. I've had this card for 6 years!

[@ouzeir8439]

I never thought one could just swap the actual dye of the gpu, but in hindsight, it makes sense.

[@northwestrepair]

There is allot people dont know. I hope to bring more light to the possibilities and ways of fixing things instead of throwing it away and buying new.

[@suryavanshib]

@@northwestrepair awesome ideology ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@txtasosxt]

Ye, all the GPU dies of a specific number (eg GA102, aka 3080) should be identical chips sent to board manufacturers. What I didn't know was whether the memory chips they use are all the same or if they have a freedom to pick somewhat different chips of same size, speed and technology.

[@rkan2]

@@txtasosxt would you mean with sent to board manufacturers?

[@Sundablakr]

@@rkan2 Bit late but what he means is that GPU manufacturers (like Nvidia and AMD) produce a lot of standalone GPU chips (like the one that was replaced in this video) and send them off to independent manufacturers (like EVGA) who then construct the board and cooling solution to create a full graphics card. The only part of the full graphics card in this video that was made by Nvidia is the GPU chip itself, everything else was custom made by EVGA.

[@Chickendinguss]

This is insane. People like you make me want to learn how to do microsoldering and general repairs on this level, but I have no idea how to get started learning

[@dance0farrows632]

If you look closer you will see, that the pads are in fact NOT RIPPED‼️ It may look like but it’s most likely corrosion. You can see it at the beginning where the light shines in a different angle.( 9:37 ) Try to measure the resistance of the pad against a ground pad, you will see that it has still a connection

[@renzojohn06]

The amount of sitting time gives me back aches and hernia. The repair level skills are awesome. I think I learned a lot on this video. Thanks!

[@Zbucket]

Reboiling and resoldering over and over can cause severe damage to the board as well :) I paused after the question and gave it a thought. Pins miss-alignment will most likely to cause short-circuit. Edit: close but far. Edit2: Tip for everyone: Apply tin before resoldering, removing existing; it'll help a lot in the process :) Also, great video

[@gorytarrafa]

SUPERMAN HAS NOTHING ON THIS GUY ! A day job fixes cards and still has time to make amazing videos educating people! FANTASTIC! I live in China and I don't even know how to fix a card but I am learning. :)

[@Eminic112]

Incredible. The sheer number of possibilities when it comes to GPU repairs is mind blowing, but you just raised them up exponentially. I wasn't even aware that you could replace the entire DIE and it would be perfectly fine. Just goes to show that if you know what you're doing nothing is impossible. It makes me wonder though, did you use the die from the other GPU just for the purpose of this video, or was the other card so badly damaged that it was unrepairable, and you decided to salvage components? Either way, very impressing!

[@mmertech]

he shows before the gigabyte card for donor. and he said he dont know the gigabytes die working or not and just give a try. i love to see something broken be fixed i love it so much

[@siliconalleyelectronics187]

It's certainly possible to do but requires a lot of skill and a little bit of luck as even when everything is done properly, all it takes is one of those balls to not cooperate and you'd have to restart. Memory chips aren't so bad though. This, how ridiculously overpriced broken GPUs are, and the time involved are why no one bothers to try

[@ShahZahid]

what i dont understand is y he didn't flash a new bios on the card, which would be mandatory in order to make the gpu function with a different card

[@jeen0351]

chip itself is the same, if anything non evga bios would break the card

[@xSkittlesxNewbx]

@@mmertech I don't see why it wouldn't work though as the die is provided by nvidia to all partners, and partners just make the board for the die

[@huntertodd3744]

This guy actually tries everything! Saddening to know there’s prob so many expensive gpus out there that are one good repair tech away from working because some other tech claimed there was no fix.

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

Did it ever happen to you to have a client who refuses to pay more than 50 bucks after you tried everything you knew and finally found a tiny resistor corroded, barely observable, changed it and now the card is fixed because client don't want to understand how such a tiny resistor changed can cost more than 50 bucks? If you encounter this kind of situation often enough you will risk no more to work for free and you will say that a card is not fixable if it takes more than 3 tries to fix it. Once you're experienced enough, you will almost "feel" when you can easily repair something or if it will take the life out of you working on it. I'd rather not have my life taken out of me just for a client to not pay much especially if the next day my hot air station dies or if I need to buy a new multi-meter or an oscilloscope. On the other hand, every tech has its own level of proficiency and I admit that some tech are not proficient at all doing the repairs. Anyway, things are not only black or white.

[@Sundablakr]

@@Dandan-tg6tj Isn't it illegal to not be paid for your work? What country do you live in that does not enforce labor laws?

[@TheCubanN3rd]

Posted on wrong video! I love your videos sir. My old Asus Strix 980Ti refuses to initialize on boot. Took it completely apart, cleaned and inspected. I can't visually see anything wrong with it. I do feel bad tossing it out. I remember a slight burnt smell when it died but again I couldn't find anything that looks like a thermal incident. I may try a few more of these checks you perform, tested fuses all good.

[@SchwiftMaster]

Came here because i was looking for examples on how to replace paste/pads.. just to find this super interesting video thats way above my pay grade lol. Still watched every second too

[@mbwatson1000]

your work is of impeccable standard, First rank quality. But you are also human, and occasional slips, such as not quite positioning a chip correctly is totally forgivable. What matters is that you own your errors and fix them. The fact that you show them in your videos and don't edit them out is very much to your credit. I am fully qualified in electronics, and recognise a master at work. Your amazing attention to detail would be essential if you were working with valve equipment, let alone the microelectronics you are actually dealing with. I have seen some videos where people have demonstrated the value of better equipment. So I suggest you fundraise to get yourself a better hot air station etc. You fully deserve the best

[@frazerbrennan9245]

Truly Awesome repair! I wonder if the large amount of thermal pads really helped displace some of that initial drop shock. Also dont feel bad about killing the original GPU, I would say those contacts were surely sheared off or at least heavily damaged by the initial impact, not your heating equipment. Keep up the good work!

[@DerMitDerWiiTanzt]

Wow this is the most impressive thing i have seen this year. You're very talented my man!

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

What stops you? Years ago I was thinking the exact thing. Everybody did. "Northwestrepair" too. Nobody is born knowing.

[@neralem]

@@Dandan-tg6tj True. All you need is dedication to something.

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

@@neralem It needs a start and oly after tyhe start it needs dedication. The start is always first. The way it starts is also very important. Many people wait for a chance to start but few actually give themselves that chance by their own will. It's actually easier and more achievable to start things on own will than to wait for the chance. It's the same with quitting smoking or drinking or doing drugs. Usually smokers can't quit easy because the moment they get one cigarette, they start heavy smoking again. This happens because they start quittig the wrong way and by doing so they are doomed to fail. I did smoke for years. What I did was to force myself to smoke 2 cigarettes a day, every single day: 2 coffees a day with two cigarettes a day. This seemed the hardest and impossible thing to do for each and every single person I know who was smoking. Everyone told me it will be impossible. It's ... a lot of time since I smoke never more than 2 cigarettes a day. I forgot when I started this but it's many years. Many days I drink my first coffee without smoking so I probably smoke less than 2 cigarettes a day. Many days I don't feel like smoking at all. Instead of pushing myself to not smoke, I pushed to mandatory smoke 2 cigarettes a day which I can't do every day because it feels like an effort to smoke and sometimes I really don't want to (just like a lot of days we don't want to go to work ). Smoking fircibly 2 cigarettes a day has really become like a job I sometimes hate. Human mind is easily tricked so why not be me tricking my mind the way I want to? I know how I react. I know what I would gladly do. I know what I would hate doing. Next step would be to make myself (not forcing myself- forcing never really works) to do what I want to. Start a new job. Easy. Get a new skill and pursue the job. Don't start a new job. Same easy. Don't even try. The real difference is in the way one sees things.

This is amazing I am so glad you didn't give up on it, didn't know chips could be interchangeable EVGA will be missed though, their GPU designs were amazing.

[@awesomefan86]

Just awesome. I watch your vids for entertaining. I'm not an electrician or have a deeper understanding of circuits. Nevertheless, I find it very interesting to see such techniques. that's why i come here. I also have an EVGA GTX 680 Classified lying around. However, only the circuit board, no heat sink. The memory and some capacitors have probably been damaged. I bet the card could still be repaired

[@Dark.Shingo]

I've never got so excited watching a GPU come back to life! Love the video, what a thorough job you did!

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

Running Furmark or Kombustor is great for checking the power consumption of a card, mainly. I had cards which worked great with Furmark and Heaven but failed to work with Valley. Also had cards working perfectly with Furmark, Heaven, Valley and Superposition but failed to work with 3DMARK. I usually do all of them. It takes some time but after all these benchmarks done I'm sure the cards are definitely working. Also I'm taking print screens for each and every one of the benchmarks and pass them on to the client so if something goes bad when the client puts the card into its PC it means only one thing: it's not my fault for sure.

I have learned that I like watching your videos. There is something magical and satisfying, watching the flux(?) washing over the solder and then things just sorta fall into place once the heat is applied. No idea what all is going on, but it is nice to watch. Is there any sort of feedback on how/where it's supposed to align, or is it really just eyeballing it to get it in the right position? Talking about the memory chip you were replacing, then put back.
