Balancing the fan blade was such a good idea. You’re always finding the solutions. Props to you. I would also like to see more no fixes. Seeing the process is awesome of trying to find exactly what the issue is
It was less than 175 after checking with shipping too. 115 for repair plus shipping + insurance since they are not very reliable in delivering as you can see in the vid that they damaged my card during shipment. Always get the insurance when shipping@AzizurRahman-zi6jn
Watching your videos reminds me of the time when I was 14 and cooked a 9800gt in the oven for 15 mim to reflow-it. It works!! The card got 1 and half year of life after that. Dude, when that card got me the gigabyte image i was the happiest kid in this world. Haha, great videos, BTW.
I personally own this one and have been running it since launch date. I have replaced my fans 3 times over the years before I 3D printed some air ducts and did some 120mm fan mods. Its a solid card for me, solid through the crypto shortage solid through the pandemic shortage and solid today for every thing I play.

@@Grayest_Fox I never was into this "new games" stuff. I played Heroes 3 (with cheats), King's Bounty (also with cheats) and Wizardry 8 (with cheats, of course). Games should be fun to play.

bro bro BRO, I am eating and just watching your videos, they are soo good, I like the relaxing music also, keep up the EXCELLENT job you are doing a know a lot of your clients are really happy with your work, keep at it.
Never give up, that is great approach.... Also, do it once and do it right, those are my guidances I'm trying to follow in life and you largely follow those as well. It's a privilege to watch you work (more videos please). Your channel became my therapist.
When I started watching this chan (thanks 'Tube algorithm) it was like "oh, man, this doesn't look too hard to do! I can totally go through the same kind of debugging process(es) and fix GPUs I find on ElectronicBae!!!" But then the more videos I keep watching, having subbed early on, it's been getting gnarly. These fixes have been getting trickier it seems like. Memory check passes, everything seems normal, but it crashes when it starts doing stuff, locks up the OS, blue screens, etc... Maybe I'll just defer to the experts when I need a GPU fixed. Fortunately, I haven't made the mistake yet of buying a GPU that I can't afford to replace or have someone fix! RX 5700XT, RX 570, an OEM HP RX 550, and a GTX 1060ti. So far so good. Fingers crossed!
amazing as usual! Couple of things: your Chinese Siglent does have a web interface - but I use VNC as the web interface is more difficult to capture. For the fans, that's a cool fix. Maybe I would have added a weight (hot glue) where the broken fin was rather than cutting a good one but as you say it's temporary!
Good job! Just a remark: at 3:32 there is some typo i think (280->217), also 250 will be between 183-217 or between 138-217 depending what type of low-melt you are using.
Lmao LOVE THE VID. I laugh my butt off the entire time. You now even have me waiting for the explosion effect you do when you attempt to power the card. Awesome editing btw! You are getting really good at it.
Another awesome video, you're like a crazy cat lady but with GPU's, doesn't matter if it's blind and deaf, you still make sure it gets the best life until the end when many would have had it put down. Respect!
I got a non Ti version, runs liek a charm to this day, in another system now .... My card also draws pretty much power when somewhat idling in desktop mode.
You make the reballing process look so easy. I runed 6 motherboards with 1151 bent pin sockets trying just to get them off!! Lifted pads, caps and resistors moved in the center of the socket due to hot air ......!! Could you show this sometime if you will. I was using a single hot plate for bottom heating and hot air on top!!!!! Thanks for the video.
Preheat and low velocity hot air on a very even desk, really good flux helps. Just practice depopulating broken stuff for a few days and the settings will come to you.
@@amtpdb1 It takes some practice for sure but I learned the soldering part pretty quickly by finding junky old laptops and such and removing and reinstalling parts and then seeing if they still worked. I destroyed more stuff than I fixed for about 6 months but thats how it goes. Its really good money if you stick to it.
Its strange the B0 came faulty after the reballing maybe the heat helped the loose connection to be revealed, great work as always btw do you use 300 degree on soldering-iron for wicking gpu?
This is the reason i keep telling people not to let their cards go above 60-70C, the manufacturers limits don't matter because they want this to happen after a while so you can buy a new one and their cash flow keeps happen steadily, you have to make sure there's plenty airflow in all parts/sides of your card, when the board temperature saturates around these temps material pressure keeps raising making material, like soldering balls expand and "unstuck" which is also why you should play with a frame limiter, so you never tax GPU usage more that it's needed, anything above 70% and below or near 99% is good to keep steady frame times and always undervolt if possible. Of course your card will go to 99% usage if you tax it too much especially an older card with newer games which is why you should cool the f out of it if you wanna max it out because while maxing it out is not what actually causes the problem itself but it leads the card heating and heating so if the cooling isn't enough all sort of shit can happen, anywhere on the card not just on the GPU's hotspot or core. Don't think that just because your GPU hotspot temp is full example 60-70C under 99% load every other component is gonna be at that temp, GPU designs are not made for that and a lot of the times there are also design flaws like not taking into account to create space where air can flow on a part which can get hot regardless of what the GPU core's temp or hotspot is. Unlocked frame rates are only for benchmarks and testing the card fast when you buy them to ensure they don't have a faulty component. I mean i don't want the guy to run out of business of course, but it's so simple to keep your GPU from breaking buy doing 2 things, keep the entire card as cool as possible and have a PSU with low ripple voltage. I've never had a single GPU fail and i've had more than 10 since 2000, and yeah it's a small sample size but cooling them wall with fans around, swapping pads with better ones and new good thermal paste helps a lot with longevity.
Nice work i love your derermination to fix the gpu. Keep up the nice video's what temp do you use to desolder ,/solder core and ram ic. Regards from Belgium
I have this exact card but non ti version. Similar problem (crash on benchmarks and heavy titles) but works if put a 60% power limit via msi afterburner. Not heat related as it barely reaches 55c and im (Almost) positive its the card as ive tried every fix under the sun. Anyways how much would a fix like this go for or would it be more worthwhile to buy a new card in regards to price.
I bought a EVGA RTX 2080 Ti XC Gaming from ebay. Im still worried about the bad micron memory chips from 2018. Should i still be concerned? Or all the 2080 ti's with bad micron memory, should be dead by now after 5 years?
I have one of those sus EVGA cards you have done videos on before. Have you figured out why that odd OC sticker was there? Or why they tape over the evga factory tape? I purchased this card off a friend who told me it was a b stock card. Was just curious if you have seen this before?
You asked for a comment and a like and I'm giving you both. I wanted to see you change and hdmi port but instead you wanted to teach me stuff. How dare you?
I have one of these. The VRMs are absolutely garbage. They run really hot, make the card harder overclock, and start to freak out around 65C, where most other VRMs have no trouble going to 90C.
Can you fix my amp! Extreme? :( I applied thermal pads where they shouldn't have gone which I think didn't make the heat sink sit right immediately crashed. Took that all out and now the card crashes still.
Guys, if there's any chance anyone could help me out - I bought an Asus Strix GTX 1080 Ti Gaming - the card passes FurMark, but crashes in games and some other tests (superposition, 3d mark won't even start). Temperatures are relatively normal, voltage, frequency, everything is on factory settings, no OC. Is there something I can do to salvage this? Even if I am to lose 10-20% performance? What does the above described behavious tell us? Why would a card pass one of the most stressful tests, but fail so many others?
These Zotac 1080Tis are absolutely atrocious, it still gives me nightmares from back in the mining days.. The fans on them are by far the crappiest in the entire industry. If the fins don't break off like cockroach legs, the bearing will seize after 2-3 months of 24/7 and there are no replacement parts for them on the entire planet except Aliexpress knockoffs which fail even faster.. China fans are absolute horror, stay away from them!
Was already sad such beautiful card was going to waste, then the bearded man saves the day once more
I knew the damn thing worked but it artifacting randomly stumped me. Glad I found this guy and he repaired it
@@OutLookerDevis the cost sustainable tho? Does it not cost less to just upgrade and maybe donate the card to him?
@LuCallofDuty1 well, I can't upgrade ATM and the cost was half of what was available on ebay. So yes.
How much did you spend after all was said and done?
@ahmedtar890 in the low 100's + shipping. This man does a good job for a low price

well logical solution (or balancing mod), cut 2 opposite blades if you dont have broken blade laying around :)

There is a small button on the back, what is it used for?
