Zotac 3090 What happens if MSVDD has no feedback from the core ?

[@LordOsiron]

I can't wait to see you fix 5090"s with their small PCB's.

[@UrokLizard]

not all 5090 pcb will be small. only the founder edition will be small. AIB like asus, msi, gigabyte, can still use transitional pcb and traditional cooler

[@xnx304]

buy one, hit it hard and send to Tony to make video

[@c1q3]

Small PCB + big repair!

[@mrovi789]

with liquid metal.....

[@fleurdewin7958]

But 1 thing is certain, the 575W TDP for the 5090 ensures big money just to replace those melted 12VHPWR connectors. 450W RTX4090 already cause alot of melted connectors, now with even bigger power with that undersized connector, more failure.

For the most youtube channels, is a glowing core a no-fix.....but not for you. bravo!

oi its my card, i dont see many zotac 3090's popup on this channel which is probably a good thing

[@northwestrepair]

DELL HP ZOTAC are all the same board.

[@JETWTF]

Zotac has the second lowest market share in consumer GPU's just above Colourful. There's fewer of them spotted everywhere from store shelves to recycling centers so repair shops (between) is expected and not a sign of quality. The majority of Zotac's customers is OEM parts so you know they are atleast decent enough to satisfy them, Dell isnt going to hire Zotac to fill all their Alienware PC's with low quality parts Dell will pay near twice for after the warranty.

[@Need4FPS]

​@@JETWTFnot really like you said.. every manufacturer has its own top of the line and lower end cards.. regardless of being small or big .. I had many Asus cards till I made a switch to Colorful for my current one.. tbh this one seems and feels more premium than the Asus ones I had.. (besides the software, software is crap)

[@ycageLehT]

@@JETWTF That being said, Zotac is the only current GPU company that offers a 5 year warranty, at least in my country, 3 years + another 2 if you register on their website. ASUS, MSi etc etc. only offer 3 years here. And yeah, my experience with ASUS support, is not a good one, so that is also not reason to go for them of the bat either.

[@kohoccy]

I’m about to send the same exact card in for repair due to blackscreening. My pcb is also warped from improper support

[@SOTB69]

​@@kohoccyblackscreening could be overvolt protection from your psu

[@marcusciochina6584]

The warping and flexing might also be from the gpu not being held with a support or a bracket inside the case.

[@outseeker]

suggested someone send a gpu specifically to you instead of another well known fix- glad to see this apparently wasn't theirs lol gl

[@richardtejada6629]

I would recommend change the suport for the pre heater, for one to actually pulls the corners of the pcb, and in the heat don't deform the board, like the achii use.

[@broken1965]

[@LuneyToonz-lk2de]

There’s some video weirdness with the thermal camera section. Right at 9:55 there’s a jump cut. I think it fixes right at 10:30. Just a little jarring, and was wondering how you got to the controller replacement idea.

[@scottstamm7022]

You should design, and sell a slow board straighting system that safely flattens out bent boards.

[@cesaru3619]

Driver MosFET NO NO NO, DOCTOR MOSSSSSSS. Good job, the ir camera did a great job finding the problem, otherwise it would be impossible to verify why that part of the gpu balls were shorting. And thanks for reminding me never to get a Zotac cheap videocard.

[@benjaminsmekens2344]

I've got a Zotac 4090 amp extreme since day 1 (with a modded 600w bios because they were apparently not extreme enough to at least allow that much power in...) under water with zero problems. Now that was not a cheap videocard, just not the most popular one, and since it went straight underwater anyway, I couldn't give a tos about the cooler design.

[@archael18]

You are very impressive to watch

[@sibonisodube1528]

[@havocking9224]

i'm looking forward to your first RTX 5090 repair #BurnedConnector 🤞

[@julienh4283]

the pcb twists because of the temperature difference between the front and the back, as you heat more with the hot air on the front (for the gpu) the less hot rear is more retractable can perhaps raise the total surface temperature a little more to limit the work of the PCB (this must differ depending on how the layers are organized because only the copper expands, the fiberglass having almost none)

[@mustangthearpy]

I can't to see you work on a 5090...the PCB design is wild.

Tony, did you see the reveal of the 5090? With it having such a small pcb, what concerns do you have as far as a repairability standpoint? Or from a quality of card standpoint?

[@northwestrepair]

no didnt see much. busy working

[@danielhulan3058]

Man you should see how small the pcb is with the 5090. It's crazy. It's literally half the size of the 4090. At least on the reference model.

[@danielhulan3058]

​@northwestrepair i can't wait to see your analysis of those cards. I know that's a long time out but it'd still be nice to hear your initial thoughts on the "looks". And what you think can be the benefits and downsides to such a small pcb and the looks of the components on the boards. Id put more stock into what you say about the technical aspects of gpus rather than a Linus Tech Tips review of the card. Because you provide a better mechanical point of view rather than their technological pov.

[@danielhulan3058]

​​@@northwestrepairalls well and good if a 5090 can get you 179,000 fps in rocket league but if the cards vrms won't last that's more important. Or if they use ridiculously cheap capacitors or memory on the card, we need to know that.

[@Roman00744]

The board was warped in the middle because of a support bracket installed at the end of the GPU, same thing happened to my 6800xt after 2 years with a support installed at the end of the GPU so there is support at the bracket and at the end from the GPU support but nothing in the middle so it warped from the weight in the middle, thankfully it's only 1 millimeter gap in the middle when I lay it flat so not that bad but if I left it like that for another year or 2 pretty sure it wouldn't survive. Now in my new case (Thermaltake CTE 750) its hanging from the top held by the bracket so no more sagging GPU problems.

[@jandkwhite6459]

an anti sag gpu support bracket would solve so many problems. When people spend that much money on a card and dont spend $10 on a gpu support its just stupid

[@ignacio6454]

Yes but if you actually look at the video, the card is warped the other way!! That would mean that maybe the owner WAS using a support bracket!! The problem was that he was probably simply standing the GPU in the very back, therefore bending it the other way. The only solution for large GPU's is to place the support stand in the middle or 70% before reaching the end of the card, putting the support stand in the side of the GPU.

[@jandkwhite6459]

@ Good catch! He must have went a little too hard yea?

Never had issues with Zotac, on the opposite, just good cards for me. EVGA final cards were trash, missing thermal pads and the GPU placed on a cheap anti static bubble bag as the only protection.
