@@Spiralem When you are dealing with bare board - yes. It is designed to go inside a metal case that acts as a shield. Using it in open air like that makes it susceptible to EMI. If the microphone signal is strong it can cause disruption in the board’s signals. But it is unlikely really. If you start a two-stroke engine nearby you would have immediate crash, but a tiny microphone with couple of dB of signal? Doubt it.
Jay seriously you need to partner with one of the machinist channels on TH-cam and do a video where this kind of thing is done professionally. Or that they provide you the tools to do it yourself. Using precision tools the correct way would go a long way at increasing your performance. I’m honestly surprised that stuff like this isn’t done more often in the competitive oc sector, or if it is I haven’t heard about it. Usually it’s just people with sand paper. Lapping something perfectly flat requires a setup with multiple surface plates and a lapping plate with groves in it that can catch the particulates left over from lapping. When done correctly you will be removing so little and doing it so precisely that the chance for catastrophic failure is minimal. You could get it so flat that no tim is required and the heatsink will stick to the die or heat spreader without pressure. Using the right gear you could literally take the best binned cpu and gpus you have, make them better by precision lapping, and then use a hot air rework station to replace memory modules with the best binned modules you have tested. I think you’ll break some extreme records doing something like that and it would get tons of views because it’s something interesting that people can’t really do.
As much as I agree with you, I also believe this goes against what Jayz's channel is all about. The mantra of, If this idiot can do it, then so can you.
Yeah while a glass pane is certainly the most cost effective way to get a very flat surface, actual precision engineered equipment would make a huge difference.

I did this to my 880 Ti and now I can time travel. As someone who has been to the future I can say, you don't have anything to worry about. Everything will be fine... unless of course, you are a human.
I have a suggestion from a mechanical engineer (love these videos btw). Try using WD40 instead of water when lapping. It will help keep a more even lapped surface with a better finish. I did a bunch of this for parts in the aerospace industry to hit 1/1000 of an inch on tight tolerance parts (a third the thickness of hair). I would also grab a high precision mic (not calipers) and use that to get an idea of how much your removing and try and use a flat surface on the back side as well. If it’s tilted like it appears in the video, that might contribute to the L shape you had when lapping. You don’t really care about the flatness to the silicon but to the die itself so keeping the die flat and supported will help you take material off more even with respect to the die and not the silicon.
Isnt WD40 a lubricant also? Wouldnt there be some type of flammable lubricant left over any circuitry? Idk what the flash point is for WD40 but that would be cool to use.
@@antiviruz42 wd40 is used for some engines, it can even be used if you run out of motor oil for a very short period of time. plus alcohol cleans of oil without problem....
@@auros2108 no he seriously thinks 1. that the wd40 could be start burning on the card, and that after cleaning the card with alcohol there would be oil left.
The parallelism of the die to the card is irrelevant as long as the die surface is parallel to the mounting face of the pot. With the amount of different components on the back of the card short of making a jig plate for the card you would never be able to achieve getting the card to be flat on the working surface.
I'm a 7min 55seconds into the video and I am very concerned already by the fact that while sanding you were basically doing a circular motion, rather than cutting the die from opposite directions
This is slowly turning into JayzLN2Cents. Not that its a bad thing. Thank you for taking us along for the ride, and showing us what can happen. Weather that is something good or bad, its all part of the journey. Keep going, Jay!
it pretty much could be that, there was def. plastic being torn apart, if not even copper lanes inside it. the ln2 cooling hurts even intact pcbs much, i think he was just stupid and killed it there. i still dont understand why he uses over 200g of metal pushing down on the chip...
@J G thermal degradation of weakened material isnt just there from 100 to 0 in a second. also it was ultimately killed by jay ripping things of, but look at nick at the end, he had enough of jays shit. :D
Something we do in woodworking that might help is when we’re lapping metal to sharpen blades, we will color in the metal that we’re sharpening with sharpie to see what areas of the blade are getting lapped off. Same when flattening a board. Scribble some pencil onto the board to see if you’re flattening properly.
Hey Jay... Been watching all you XOC legends ( thats right i consider you just as capable as the others ) from the point when you and Steve first jumped in the ring... I really enjoy the way you've made all your own experiences into lessons. Something came to mind when i saw the pitting after your mount on the lap die. What if the thermal paste is getting micro bubbles in it, causing those sections of the die to reach extreme temps in an instant and damaging the surface. had a quick google and found this in regards to "how to remove micro bubbles from paste": - Use centrifuge and vacuum. After mixing, do centrifuge at high speed, then place in vacuum, then repeat the steps if needed to remove all the bubbles. Big-size bubbles will be remove by centrifuge and small ones by vacuum. Its a pretty extreme step, but if you find someone with some lab tech, maybe it'll give you the edge... It may be worth looking into moisture (H20) content of the paste as well.. Keep up the good work bud...
A tip I picked up from other luthiers for adhering two surfaces together! Put painters tape on both surfaces then use super glue to set the tape together. Don't forget to use some superglue kicker to accelerate the process. Makes the adhesion point super thin, even, and easy to remove! Love videos. Much love.
Pro tip from an ex mold polisher: put some sharpie on the piece you want to flat out. Then you sand lightly and you will see the lower spots and if you are flat.
Suggestions: Besides learning about "flatness" and the "3-plate" method, as you're lapping the die surface with your custom sanding block, besides changing the direction and method of lapping, also change the orientation of the sanding block, by 180deg, then 90deg, then 180deg, then 90deg, this will "zero" out any of the remaining variations in the sanding media itself.
Back in the mid 2000's lapping was not even a choice, it was a necessity as vapor chamber wasn't around yet... I lapped my Duron 1.3Ghz and an "all copper" cooler I had. Temps went 15°C lower.
Tape around edges to stop fine metal from going everywhere. Next use a dine small lapping stone or fine sharpening tape mounted on glass. Protecting the surrounding area from the fine metal removed is extremely important
Anyone else super happy it wasnt anything to do with the lapping. Well done J, perhaps after this doa video about how if any of these extreme techniques couldteach us normal users anything, for example anything you did that would actually help real world apps, or simply that the mount being changed once a year will help etc etc?
Watching this has cured me of my anxiety I get when leveling frets on my guitars. At least on those I can get new frets when I screw up. This though... hooboy.
Super fine lapping compound and a small round disk of glass (no corners ) will give perfect flatness. If really done right, the die & the copper sink will have to be pried or twisted off. I used to machine then lap various metals to +/- .0001in back in the day. In theory, if flat enough, you wouldn't use paste as it would actually insulate vs transfer. HUGE fan, love all your stuff...
Pro tip from old school optical fiber polishing: polish in a figure 8 pattern. You'll have less work to do to remove the straight lines gouged by the abrasive grains.
Whitworth 3 plate method is what you are after for "perfect" flatness. However, you could lap the plate on the block against the die and they will conform extremely closely. Lap in a figure 8.
as somebody that knows slightly more than Jay about polishing something completely flat, this is so frustrating to watch because there's so much that I would consider wrong but this is pre-recorded and I can't give any feedback that matters.
You could try a smaller block honing stone, I use those on my engines flat surfaces before I mount gaskets to make the surface as flat as possible with minimal metal removed.
Use fine valve grinding compound in a figure 8 on cold plates or anything you want flat. Then use fine 1500+ polishing paper to get the desired surface finish. I noticed a more consistent hight center to edge using a dial indicator.
Try silver plating one or both of the contact surfaces. Silver is more thermally conductive than copper. You can check true flatness with a small piece of glass. Glass is as near flat as you will get due to the manufacturing process. Low viscosity/low surface tension fluids like acetone or methyl alcohol sandwiched between two surfaces will maintain capillary contact between the surfaces where they are closest, and with glass, you can easily see it. This includes checking two pieces of glass for flaws. Moving and rotating the pieces reveals flaws because the liquid "sticks" with the piece containing the flaw.
1:02 Considering we all received our cards between the 20th-21st of Jan, I doubt it could have been possible to bench everything and circulate the gpus within a week :D
Jay this was awesomesauce to watch. It gets my heat transfer equations rolling through my head. It's all about how efficient you can make the heat transfer. When I would go underway back in my active duty days, the colder the ocean water the more potable water we could make in our 100K gallon/day distillers. Also our main engines could be way more efficient! You can really see why the Nimitz class aircraft carriers were built for cold war era and not the middle east ocean water. Keep the science going my friend! (We might be around the same age? [About to be 48]).
I've used this method before, and it works. Always make sure the sanding block is flat first, that's the key, then by using this sanding method carefully, you can't go wrong. If in doubt on the flatness of the sanding block, you can always use the edge of a feeler gauge to check it. The edge of feeler gauges are spot on flat, so long as it's not cheap piece of bent crap.
Jay You should get a professional machinist/ scientists, to lap both sizeds of the die and heatsink, you could use a micron etcher, or something really funky to get that material perfectly flat
Jay, not sure if this would work but you know that machine that engine shops have to resurface engine blocks and cylinder heads to make sure they're flat? Those can remove material in extremely thin layers and they're calibrated to make sure that they are dead straight. Maybe see if you can do something with that next time?
@@mohamadmalullah Not too quickly, I hope. If we can get a few more "...NO!...", "It's not fair!" and "HEAT THE FRICKIN' BOARD!" reactions from Louis first, THEN send him to a night class on soldering ;)
I was interested in your cooking methods here, exactly how long did you hold the heat gun to the rabbit food until it was edible for the average human?
WAY TO GO JAY!! it's ok, we have ALL made silly mistakes before - at least it's fix able... can't wait to see how the lapping turned out... I was blown away at how uneven it was - WOW! :D Thanks for the vids guys!!!
A single small cap very often doesn't have a notable impact on performance. For this particular use, you should get it back on though, you need all the noise suppression you can get. No need to send it to Vince though, just take it to the nearest phone or laptop repair shop that does board level repair. They'll sort you out faster than you can go get a coffee if you bring the bare board. Probably gonna cost you less than one way shipping to Vince, and you don't need to wait so long.
when lapping precision parts, like hydrogen seals on generators, you're supposed to lap them together. so in your case you get the pot and die together just like if you were mounting them, and put some lapping compound between them. the compound is super cheap, so all you gotta do is be really careful. easiest way is to count to little circles, clean, check progress, repeat until satisfied. think of it like breaking in an engine
One card or even ten cards isn't going to change anything. You're thinking you'd get the card but that's ten cards to millions of people - it makes no difference to anyone but Jay.
Leave the food on the front console behind the windshield of your car when you get to work. As long as you have a little sun, it will be hot enough to enjoy by lunch time.
Lapping is removing the top layer of a surface sanding is a method for reducing the top layer of the surface he could have used a liquid abrasive or polish then it would be closer to the dictionary definition but they are essentially the same. Chill
@@sleedog11 I'm sorry you feel that way. I work with extremely tight tolerances, and in my world comparing lapping to sanding is like comparing a B52 Bomber to an F1 Race Car. They just aren't the same.
11:10 if you are concerned about getting some of the mounting screws too tight(compared to the others) a torque wrench would assist in ensuring the screws are equally tight. If you are torquing them in unison(the way lug nuts are tightened on a wheel) , it might be causing the card or even the die to flex ever so slightly.

The Silicon-Ingot are cut/sawn into raw Wafers but later grinded down to the wanted thickness. At least that's what we're doing at work, don't know how TSMC etc. are doing it, but doubt they take the raw cut/sawn wafers.
I would suggest sometimes testing without the lighting equipment on. A lot of light could interfere with what extreme low temperatures actually achieve in a semiconductor. Sometimes we some industrial product fail in australia just because of the slightly higher backround radiation
i took a nail polisher that also removes the paint of the nails and i brought down my brothers laptop from 85c all the way down to 70c and the fun part is that it was closed, on a desk AND mineing while also overclocked . for a laptop i think thats preety impresive.
I know the feeling, i did the exact same thing taking apart a cooler on a 1070 FE to put a water block on years ago, returned it to where I bought it for an exchange lmao.
idea could you use valve lapping compound. (for car engine valves) and the ln2 pot/base itself to lap it? in car engines that stuff makes valves fit perfectly and its polished (no real benefit there perhaps but hey it looks nice)

Watching this has cured me of my anxiety I get when leveling frets on my guitars. At least on those I can get new frets when I screw up. This though... hooboy.
Frets are also slightly cheaper.
I’m sure you mean well. However this isn’t even close.
Super fine lapping compound and a small round disk of glass (no corners ) will give perfect flatness. If really done right, the die & the copper sink will have to be pried or twisted off. I used to machine then lap various metals to +/- .0001in back in the day. In theory, if flat enough, you wouldn't use paste as it would actually insulate vs transfer. HUGE fan, love all your stuff...

"OK - so now I lapping my fucking dies..."
Pro tip from old school optical fiber polishing: polish in a figure 8 pattern. You'll have less work to do to remove the straight lines gouged by the abrasive grains.
next video:"i soldered the pot to the die"
Whitworth 3 plate method is what you are after for "perfect" flatness. However, you could lap the plate on the block against the die and they will conform extremely closely. Lap in a figure 8.
This all feels so wrong
Die or ihs, i wont lap, only the HS i will lap, the thermal compounds take care of the rest. No need to polish anything either
as somebody that knows slightly more than Jay about polishing something completely flat, this is so frustrating to watch because there's so much that I would consider wrong but this is pre-recorded and I can't give any feedback that matters.
look up walking the barrel technique, its best way to hand sand flat, its used for lens making. thanks Jay for all your help.
Another month still no 3080 :(
Feel your pain, another month and I still do not have my 5900X I ordered on launch day!!!
the pain will continue
Hit up the Newegg drops. I copped a 3080 strix with no combo. Just gotta be quick.
You could try a smaller block honing stone, I use those on my engines flat surfaces before I mount gaskets to make the surface as flat as possible with minimal metal removed.
FBC14 algorithm is my choice, i dont worry about BTC rates at all
Use fine valve grinding compound in a figure 8 on cold plates or anything you want flat. Then use fine 1500+ polishing paper to get the desired surface finish. I noticed a more consistent hight center to edge using a dial indicator.
Jays over here breaking cards and I still can’t get one. #jelly
Try silver plating one or both of the contact surfaces. Silver is more thermally conductive than copper.
You can check true flatness with a small piece of glass. Glass is as near flat as you will get due to the manufacturing process. Low viscosity/low surface tension fluids like acetone or methyl alcohol sandwiched between two surfaces will maintain capillary contact between the surfaces where they are closest, and with glass, you can easily see it. This includes checking two pieces of glass for flaws. Moving and rotating the pieces reveals flaws because the liquid "sticks" with the piece containing the flaw.

5:35 Crunch... the beautiful sound for solder balls failing.
jay breaks a 3090.
on camera they look stressed.
off camera they laugh open a bottle of jameson and open one of their backups.
1:02 Considering we all received our cards between the 20th-21st of Jan, I doubt it could have been possible to bench everything and circulate the gpus within a week :D
Don't sand in circular patterns!!! lol
Jay: "...I'm not going to solder this on..."
Louis Rossmann: Sigh, thank you!
he would immediately loosing his mind
Didn't it occur to anyone that the die itself could be soldered slightly crooked on the board ?
Could very well be, but for mounting the hardware it needs to be parallel to the board either way. It's closer to that now.
Jay this was awesomesauce to watch. It gets my heat transfer equations rolling through my head. It's all about how efficient you can make the heat transfer.
When I would go underway back in my active duty days, the colder the ocean water the more potable water we could make in our 100K gallon/day distillers. Also our main engines could be way more efficient! You can really see why the Nimitz class aircraft carriers were built for cold war era and not the middle east ocean water.
Keep the science going my friend! (We might be around the same age? [About to be 48]).
All gamers want a 3090/3080 and cant get one....
Jay:" Oh, I broke another 3090... No Problem I have more!"
xD
3090's are in stock lots of places cuz no one wants to pay for them lol
I was watching one of TecLab's HOF OCing vids, they literally PILE the dead cards bro, jay is extremely conservative
@@TheNubaHS true, but still funny. ^^
Funny isn’t it ?
I've used this method before, and it works. Always make sure the sanding block is flat first, that's the key, then by using this sanding method carefully, you can't go wrong. If in doubt on the flatness of the sanding block, you can always use the edge of a feeler gauge to check it. The edge of feeler gauges are spot on flat, so long as it's not cheap piece of bent crap.
No ifixit ad? Disappointed, also lapping a 3090? you're brave!
first reply
Jay You should get a professional machinist/ scientists, to lap both sizeds of the die and heatsink, you could use a micron etcher, or something really funky to get that material perfectly flat
is there really still a person who does not know about the existence of FBC14 algorithm?
Jay, not sure if this would work but you know that machine that engine shops have to resurface engine blocks and cylinder heads to make sure they're flat? Those can remove material in extremely thin layers and they're calibrated to make sure that they are dead straight. Maybe see if you can do something with that next time?
So Louis Rossmann is getting a call soon?!! lol
If we get a second Louis reaction video to Jay's repair techniques, that'll be enough
@@stoneymahoney9106 I wonder when Jay will ever learn his lesson lmao
@@mohamadmalullah Not too quickly, I hope. If we can get a few more "...NO!...", "It's not fair!" and "HEAT THE FRICKIN' BOARD!" reactions from Louis first, THEN send him to a night class on soldering ;)
@@stoneymahoney9106 Oh, yes, I almost forgot how priceless Louis frustration is when watching these types of things... 😂

I was interested in your cooking methods here, exactly how long did you hold the heat gun to the rabbit food until it was edible for the average human?
WAY TO GO JAY!! it's ok, we have ALL made silly mistakes before - at least it's fix able... can't wait to see how the lapping turned out... I was blown away at how uneven it was - WOW! :D Thanks for the vids guys!!!
heat the card !
A single small cap very often doesn't have a notable impact on performance. For this particular use, you should get it back on though, you need all the noise suppression you can get. No need to send it to Vince though, just take it to the nearest phone or laptop repair shop that does board level repair. They'll sort you out faster than you can go get a coffee if you bring the bare board. Probably gonna cost you less than one way shipping to Vince, and you don't need to wait so long.
What happened to the giveaway? Still no announcement on the givewaway page, it's already over but no announcement.
Which giveaway are you talking about? The GPU one still has 23 days left on it.
@@emu071981 There was one before it, which ended long time ago.
I enjoy these XOC with LN2 type vids from you specifically Jay. More than anything else on TH-cam right now. Very interesting stuff.
I managed to get a 6800xt without much effort a few days ago, i feel like i've won the lottery
Found one myself but is £895, so figured no lol
@@cellanjones28 i found it for msrp somehow lol
@@Zeph0 nice, I would need to win the lottery to buy the one I saw. Its the only place in the UK I've seen with any in stock lol
when lapping precision parts, like hydrogen seals on generators, you're supposed to lap them together. so in your case you get the pot and die together just like if you were mounting them, and put some lapping compound between them. the compound is super cheap, so all you gotta do is be really careful. easiest way is to count to little circles, clean, check progress, repeat until satisfied. think of it like breaking in an engine
Not like there's a shortage of cards or anything.
One card or even ten cards isn't going to change anything. You're thinking you'd get the card but that's ten cards to millions of people - it makes no difference to anyone but Jay.
Check out charging a copper lap when faceting. You could use this method and use all the different diamond powder grits

Leave the food on the front console behind the windshield of your car when you get to work. As long as you have a little sun, it will be hot enough to enjoy by lunch time.
I don't like this misuse of terminology.
You are sanding the die, not lapping it.
Lapping is removing the top layer of a surface sanding is a method for reducing the top layer of the surface he could have used a liquid abrasive or polish then it would be closer to the dictionary definition but they are essentially the same. Chill
@@sleedog11 I'm sorry you feel that way. I work with extremely tight tolerances, and in my world comparing lapping to sanding is like comparing a B52 Bomber to an F1 Race Car.
They just aren't the same.
11:10 if you are concerned about getting some of the mounting screws too tight(compared to the others) a torque wrench would assist in ensuring the screws are equally tight. If you are torquing them in unison(the way lug nuts are tightened on a wheel) , it might be causing the card or even the die to flex ever so slightly.

You may want to try valve grinding compound and the suction cup handle used to lap valves in a automotive cylinder head. May get a better result.

The Silicon-Ingot are cut/sawn into raw Wafers but later grinded down to the wanted thickness. At least that's what we're doing at work, don't know how TSMC etc. are doing it, but doubt they take the raw cut/sawn wafers.
I would suggest sometimes testing without the lighting equipment on. A lot of light could interfere with what extreme low temperatures actually achieve in a semiconductor.
Sometimes we some industrial product fail in australia just because of the slightly higher backround radiation
that crunch was already enough to send my blood thru the roof
i took a nail polisher that also removes the paint of the nails and i brought down my brothers laptop from 85c all the way down to 70c and the fun part is that it was closed, on a desk AND mineing while also overclocked . for a laptop i think thats preety impresive.
Darn that sucks jay, the lapping looks promising though- good luck! Can’t wait to see more!
I know the feeling, i did the exact same thing taking apart a cooler on a 1070 FE to put a water block on years ago, returned it to where I bought it for an exchange lmao.

You noticed that too huh?
I think the best part in this video was seeing nic in the background with the look of disappointment xD
idea
could you use valve lapping compound. (for car engine valves) and the ln2 pot/base itself to lap it?
in car engines that stuff makes valves fit perfectly and its polished (no real benefit there perhaps but hey it looks nice)
