Wow, this RTX 3070 repair tutorial is incredibly detailed and easy to follow! I really appreciate the step-by-step breakdown and the clear explanations of each part of the process. Your tips on handling the delicate components were invaluable, and the close-up shots made it so much easier to see exactly what you were doing. The troubleshooting section at the end was a great addition, addressing potential issues that might come up. Thanks for sharing your expertise and helping us get the most out of our hardware. This video is a lifesaver for anyone facing GPU issues!
No signs of damage on the old gpu as in ripped pads or cracks? I have 2 3070's and both have been running problem free for a couple of years. Great diagnosis and repair on your part.
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql I just checked the completed listings of used Ventus 3070's on eBay. Seems that average is right around $250 USD. Is a core swap with labor much less than this? Also, what if the old core was actually still operational?
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql I'm speechless of how much affordable this rework was. I would bet it wouldn't be less than $150 but it seems you are a reasonable person. I'm not in GPU repairs i do mostly laptops and I also value my work and skills but I'm also a pragmatist and I try to get in the customer's shoes. I always let customer know his options and the cost upfront so he decides how I will proceed and I always try to keep in mind the real value a device has for the market and the customer.
I have an old RX 470 4GB that I want to do some experimenting on. Can I remove the eight 512MB GDDR5 ram chips (512x8=4GB), and replace them with 1GB ram chips? Does that work?
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql Yes please i got hot air bga rework station too and I know i shouldnt use same profile because machines are calibrated differently but i just want to get a idea on a good profile please. thanks

Thank you for sharing 😁. Your feedback means a lot to me.
Good reball of the donor is the most important task. When it's meticulously done perfectly, chance of success is very high.
Agreed 😁
Another great job!
Thank you 😁
I think the original core might be ok... just needed reball.
I still have the core. Maybe I will test it on another GPU and see if it's okay. 😀
Nice man love the closeups … so amazing 🥳🎉
Thank you 😁
Nice video, Frazer. I am happy to see your channel growing!
Thank you 😁
Another one saved from becoming E-waste, Fantastic job :)
Thank you 😁
Awesome video. What is that thing with one orange and three blue buttons?
It's a preheater to heat up the PCB from the bottom. 😁

Thank you 😁. No damage to the old GPU.
Anyone know where the memory straps resistors are located on this board?
It's shown in the video
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql Watched the whole video 3 more times and didn't see or hear any reference to the straps. Do you have a timestamp?
In 2024, is the value off a 3070 really still worth the labor and core swap price?
Well it depends who you ask. They all have their own view. 😁

This repair cost this user about $75. The core was provided to me by the user. I have the old core with me. I will test it on another GPU.

I totally agree with you. I have the same view as you. 😁

Yes it will work. All you have to do is install GDDR5 1GB modules. And flash with 470 8GB BIOS.
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql . . oh how cool. That'll be a fun learning experience. Thank you for replying so quick.
TY
😁
Wow heart transplant🎉❤
YES 😀
profile please?
Profile? 😁. Are you referring to the rework station?
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql Yes please i got hot air bga rework station too and I know i shouldnt use same profile because machines are calibrated differently but i just want to get a idea on a good profile please. thanks
I have a video for that. After you watch the video let me know if you have any questions. th-cam.com/video/wQrQjsJTpLM/w-d-xo.html
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql thanks so much. Can I ask when you’re doing bga. The components around do you see them solder melt too? Is that a concern
As long as I don't touch them it should not be an issue. 😁
Bro where r u from ?
UAE
Do you know marathi , brother
Yes but i don't speak fluently
@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql oh , its ok brother full support brother kepp doing your majestic work
Thank you 😁
