Jensen to Nvidia Engineers: Listen guys, you need to make these cards more compact. Still too easy to fix. Were here to sell cards, and I need another leather jacket. Chop chop! : )
I love going on these GPU repair adventures with you, and this one was a trek. Thanks northwestrepair!
I almost wish I had a broken card to send you, I love what you do.
hope your wish come true lol🤣🤣
Reminder don't send him cards without thermal paste :/
Yup, shipping without thermal paste is a bad idea
I think the lack of thermal paste can even damage the core on the top. I mean it can crack the gpu core on the edges during shipping
No, it only causes card fall into extreme throttling or shutdown. Even without paste, there is still some GPU die contact. Not end of world, just more pain when conducting first assessment.
@@aleksandrbmelnikov yes that's 100% true. But I meant what can happen if you send a video card without a thermal paste. If a heatsink is not screwed down enough the heatsink can just wigle in the package while shipping making the core cracked on the edge. The probability is rather low but it is still possible.
Btw, I've seen in the internet totally cracked core due to a heatsink screwed down too tight meaning the cores are not indestructible.
Is there a shipping how-to in the discord? Probably should be. Common sense is good, but some people might not realize this matters.
the unbelievable reballing of a core has become so common here that its just a time lapse now.... wow... unrivaled skill and attention to detail to be able to knock these repairs out like you do.
and another gpu saved! your dedication to making they's gpu work again is amazing!
Spoiler alert!
I was on the edge of my seat just a fantastic fix, the quality of your work is fantastic!! Love your videos
The copper donor removal and used to put under the mosfet blew my mind!!! So cool!
That was one heck of a ride! The diagnostics on this one is in another tier!
Hi Tony!
Thanks for great GPU restoration video :) I don't know why but I always find your videos calming me down.
What's more I can learn a lot which is fantastic. Waiting for another videos.
See you :)
It's always amazing to watch an artisan hone their craft. Amazing work!
Nice work!! I keep watching your video's, soo inspiring!
wow, I'm so impressed mate....... It's great to see you working so diligently........
Nice video kind of points out the pitfalls of working on a compact form factor GPU. Thank you for your work, and have a blessed day.
Nice job. Well done getting that thing back in running condition.
Ya'll are a maestro of card repair, simply the best.
17:18 "mmhmm, yes sir, yes ma'am, yeahhh boi, thats right, we're done"
*LMFAO!*
Another PRO video! Must name it "Thank you nVidia!" Great job, man! I envy you for the patience :)
Wow. U did an amazing job. Better then factory, and then you even sell all of your stuf u use online. Oh. Forget the last part. ;). Love your videos. Is relaxing too watch.
This "Better than Factory" quote bacame an internet meme 😂
This is almost like seeing myself 20-30 years ago.. congrats dude 👍
I have actually learned how to repair GPU's from watching your repair vids. Excellent WORK, Thank you :D
I am truly amazed about the amount of heat that all these components can endure
Amazing job! Wow, you spent a lot of time on this sucker :)
Keep it ON~ Love your channel
My eyes were bleeding when you shaved off that copper layer from the edge of the card. Was that a donor card? Or did that copper come from the 3070 itself?? I would be surprised. Anyway, gg on the repair, was a fun one to watch. Thanks for the adventure 😁
Even if it was the same board, it's just to pass EMI testing. I'd keep a little copper foil on hand instead though. It isn't expensive....
Great video thanks for posting
These still work on the latest windows 10 pro, should prevent all automatic updates and restarts. Tested on windows 11 pro several months ago and worked but some locations are slightly different, not sure about now. Home will ignore most of them even if you enable group policy. If these don't work on windows 10 pro then the OS is bugged. Apologies for long comment, hopefully this is useful.

i learn a lot from your videos, thank you!
Great video, thanks.
Impressive work!
well done amazing work!!!
Hope sometime you are gonna by a higher res camera. Love the videos tho. You have helped me a lot! ;)
Love your videos
Im still wondering why i keep returning to your vids. They are long, technical, slow placed. 80% your doing i dont understand. And yet i love watching you do it. Would love to send you my old MSI i5 GTX 960M one day(since i bought new Desktop). Its working (GPU and all) but its a mess. Overheats, 80Cº on idle, perfomance issues, Exterior shell broken, screws missing making it loose, Fan doing weird noises even AFTER i had a new Fan placed (the tech store is crap)...Im sure you would return to me as if i had just purchased it 😋 . Maybe one day... Thank you again!
have you tried replacing the thermal paste?
@@Zeusbeer Hi. Yes, i sent it to the clean, i explained the issues (fan doing an incredible loud noise etc). They ordered a new Fan, put a new fan, no idea what else they did. Im assuming they were professionals and cleaned, replaced the paste etc. And yet, 1 month later, the fan was noisy again, the Laptop overheats more then should, basically, i spent money for nothing. Incompetent people ...
Edit:. I never done it myself. Mostly out of fear of breaking something. But im pretty sure i would do a better job just by watching this channel lol. DOubt those incompetents used alchool, or cleaned every surface, or used proper paste or pads, and probably didnt even try to fix whatever is causing the fan to make weird noises. Lets just order a new one...
i'm enjoy . for me that art . keep going
The going away short reminds me of an HD 5770, in a bad way - think of things going in flames. It had a short on the 12 V from the PCIE fingers. I took it apart, cleaned it, tried to inject 1.2V and see what warms up. Nothing warmed up. Measuring the resistance, the short was gone.
I mistook a meandering resistance value for capacitors charging - but that would give you a resistance reading that always increases. Powered the card, and poof, woosh and a yellow flame coming from two MLCCs next to the memory controller buck converter.
I managed to fix the card, but I learned a lesson: there is no such thing as a short going away on its own. It WILL come back to bite you.
I always wondered about That. ? :) Big Thumbs Up.
Hello, I have been following your channel for a long time and I am glad that there are people like you to revive GPUs.
I want to know what your opinion is about undervolt?
I just wanted to say that the typo on the thumbnail caught my attention :) Other than that, amazing skills!
Lol good catch 🤣
What would I do without my viewers.
@@northwestrepair Wow, how fast you fixed it :)
Daaaaaamn, I'm amazed it was repairable with all that corrosion.
Sending your gpu without thermal paste applied to (basically) a total stranger is a hell of a gamble if you intend to ever use your gpu again 😂
Good thing you checked it first!
It would not fry if he powered it on without paste. GPUs are smart - they have thermal shutdown protections if the card reaches 105C or whatever AMD/Nvidia decides is too hot. PC simply shuts off after that.
its not that, without thermal paste theres a chance the die could be cracked by the cooler @@pottingsoil723
@@pottingsoil723 I'm aware of that. Do that too often though and it's "Bye bye, core!"
@@breakingyourlegs true, the circuit could always be bad too so ya it's never a good idea
What else is there to say Tony, if it can be fixed you can fix it, its as simple as that.
Enjoyable repair.
Please my friend use windows ghost spectre, it doesnt updates the windows randomly and screw with your things, ive been using it for 5 years and it's the best thing to update only when you want. And also please get a light to iluminate your bench better, it's good to you and for us. Thanks for the videos!
Amazing. We did it. Better than factory. :)
"Better than Factory" the most recognizable quote these days 😂
I know it's a Northridge joke, but with leaded solder balls on the GPU, I'd say it's way better than factory.
Excellent
that was a ton of effort for a very mistreated gpu.
Pure genius
Hey love your channel is there any tutorial or schematics how to create that test tool with blue lcd on your left side which you are using?
Can’t repair the missing piece of the board, no problem, a thin layer of copper will fix that up ;) such impressive skill and dedication you have, the amount of time and effort you put into these repairs is awe inspiring
That was quite a ride.
Question: some of the damage you see on these GPU's, are there certain fixes you've made that you would say could have been prevented (obviously drops can break solder joints and rip pads)?
repairing the gpu's its not every time a reball there are another metods and cheaper ones[and i admire you for the time you spend on reballing it takes a lots of time and patience] bthw good job
20:45
you *could* just cut the usb3 cable on that end and solder it directly to the pciex1 board by following the pinout
Tony , just create a file named "download" on software distribution folder.. :) ( remove the already present folder when internet connection is off ) have a nice day
You might be able to use a script and Task Scheduler on Windows to stop Windows update on each boot, user login and/or user application launch.
Iv just purchased a 3090 with ek block but seller mentioned under high loads after some time it has a little coil whine which is only noticeable according the the seller when it an absolute silent room running heavy loads for a long period of time.
I have looked up that slight coil whine problem with the strix oc series which i have purchased from the seller i am just wondering if any possible ways to reduce coil whine to help preserve the card for longer .
I know haveing the wrong power supply setup can cause these problems and also memory getting hot or have i made a really bad purchase 🤔
I only ask because ive never had coil whine from a gpu only power supply in past att i am running a x99 board which i bought cheap an fixed the cpu pins an a kingpin 1080ti with oc bios 2012mhz on core never goes over 60 degrees which has been my trusty work horse for years .
Also great content 👌 very helpful vids
To stop windows from updating within windows, set your network type to metered connection, then set to never automatically download updates over metered connection.
You can still manually download defender updates
6:12 I'm using 2 methods to stop Windows updates in win 10. First one is to set the maximum allowed time of active hours. Second is, right after Windows boot, when Windows are looking for updates (which you can confirm by the 100% usage of a single thread), disconnect from the wifi network for 2 seconds and then reconnect. This stops Windows from looking for new updates.
You can use a piece of solder wick instead of scraping a copper pad off the board like that.
You got me with the MUST SEE how much to send a working evga 3080ti ftw 3 with the hybrid kit and have you install the hybrid kit update the bios to the hybrid bios from evga and send everything back I am scared to open card and attach Hybrid unit
amazing
Are you friggen kidding me did you just cut that copper from the same board? haha talk about a surgeon~! props man! 🤠
I feel so old when he called that 3070 old when in fact it was released at the end of 2020
Now I feel like a prehistoric relic with my gtx970
How the hell do you get rust anywhere in a graphics card? Great work as always.....
Above and beyond the call of duty for this repair.
my man scooped copper off a pcb slicker than people scoop icecream
6:13 well you can add fake WSUS config (dead IP) and local policy forcing to use WSUS to stop updates, it will never update again (it will work if you add all the policies).
You can also add a static route to the computer to send the updates link/s to 127.0.0.1
win update killer? sounds great
my 1660ti isn't broken but wants to be touched by your glorious hands💪
You should check with Louis Rossmann if he still sells ultrasonic cleaners simply to give worthy survivors like this card a spa session before sending them back😁
$60 jewelry cleaner from Amazon will last quite a while. I use one for antique carburetors and electronics. VGT-6250 is decent for a consumer model
@@VeritasEtAequitas
That sounds like a cool alternative, but are there ones that can fit something like a 3080 pcb in it?
Wow when you started using the solder sucker I thought might phone had frozen since it sounded like the audio had frozen 🤣🤣
If you run Windows 10/11 Enterprise you can edit the registry to prevent Windows Update to run. No need for any software to do that.
A Thanksgiving Miracle! Where else but NWR!!
A tough little sucker to fix !
I heard you remind me to leave comment. Idk how youtube work that would benefit you but here, hope that help 😁
Liquid damaged? How they did it?
I think maybe if you set your ethernet to 'metered connection' windows won't update and maybe you have to say don't update through metered connections. These days I run entirely in Linux and manually don't give my windows nic a gateway so they can only share files with other computers here, but not do anything. I mostly use windows for games. I run windows in a vm in Linux to do song compositions.
3070 legendary
in last view days..your videos seem like bit darker than usually 🍻
I have some broken GPU's as well, shame it would cost more to send them than what they're worth
Dat PCIE power cable, sitting at just half the pins lol.
What's up with the blue/red hue and blurry text on GPUz and HWinfo? Hasn't been in other videos that I've noticed, screen capture issue?
Just like GPU's ppl can burnout aswell, take a break sometimes mate 🙂
I wanna see u duel head to head with tech cemetery, the God of 1080tea eye
💪
why didnt you toke the copper strip that was stuck to the old mosfets?
and would it be possible to change that HDMI port to a display port?
Probably welded
Is normal 11.5v on 12v rail for rtx 3070 ?
You got two ICs total fried. Guess you know where that short was?😁 There's just something so f'ed up, with how they chop down PCB, and leave no room for power rails or a cleaner layout. REALLY?!?! They need to go back with double PCI-E plugs. And pull the tracings away from PCB tab. Me, i'd wish they give access to VBIOS resource files. Something simple as changing codepage or output priority, would solve many customer problems.
i have a brand new pc (first time pc owner) built it myself everything runs good EXCEPT call of duty on any launcher, it crashes and sometimes my gpu stutters before it crashes, i’ve uninstalled and reinstalled launchers and games, no luck any softwares i can use or ideas?
i have 4090 ,14900k, ddr5 7200 z5, asus z790 e wifi 2, corsair 1200 psu
temps are fine but stutters and crashes on cod my main game
Its so tight I can’t even get my probe inside.
That’s what he said 😁🤣
6:25 - Why would they design that pcb so small, with all the components so close together, making it so difficult to repair? What is the motivation?
Hello my friend, how are you? I have a question for you. Why do video cards break so much? I have seen many of your videos and I see that many graphics cards break from one thing or another, is that due to some type of abuse or will they all break over time no matter what you do? , because I take great care of my graphics card, it is an RX 6800XT MSI GAMING X TRIO, look at this example of what I do. My monitor is 27 1080P 165Hz and I set it to 60Hz or 75Hz to play AAA games so as not to load the GPU so much and for the temperatures to be as low as possible. I have the graphics fans very well controlled with the MSI Afterburner, either. I do no type of overclocking. What recommendation do you have for me as a repair specialist to prolong the useful life of my graphics card as much as possible?
Make sure the card has support on the end so it's not sagging. Video cards nowadays are heavy and use lead-free solder which cracks easily so just be gentle when handling, but heat cycles and heat in general can kill any card at basically any time, so just keep it as cool as you can. If you are really worried, you could probably lower the power target of the card so it doesn't get as hot. Some people undervolt the GPU but that can cause instability/crashing. Also, enable Vsync or limit FPS if you don't already do that to limit heat ouput.
Holy shit, how much time did you spend on this? Seems like 10+ hours.
Better than factory! Oh wait, wrong channel...
Never crack your coils lads. That's a little life tip for you 😉
What is that pcie to usb adapter?
Used for what?
Not USB signal, just used as a PCIe cable extension for the riser card.
What causes the corrosion? Is it just moisture in the air?
i dont know. The owner of this and 1060 gpu was clueless of the corrosion existence.
I'm wondering how many hours that took you.
What was the price of this repair?
