@@svingarm9283well, although beauty is subjective, it's not really a "beauty contest" kind of card. Personally, I'm not a big fan of gold, but I wouldn't hesitate to put this in my rig if one of them fell into my lap, or I was able to find a damaged one that needed repair. That's how I got my hideously ugly 4080 Super, 300 bucks with two blown driver MOSFETs and a few ancillary components that got toasted by proximity, and it is one ugly f****** card! The Manli GeForce RTX 4080 Super Gallardo D6X. She's an absolutely hideous monster, but she's MY absolutely hideous monster, and she can tear through anything I throw at her.

The performance is so damn good that I don't care how she looks, the increase in proactivity for me has been absolutely bonkers. She's not a showcase rig, but if it were, I'd gladly build around that obnoxious card, because that's the card that I ended up with. 🙂🙃
Yep, you don't buy KP edition for the rad. It's made to push the limits and the 360 is there as a sanity check. Asking why the heatsinks are not monolithically made it's like asking a sprinter why is there plastic (cf-plate) in it's shoe soles. For the extra 2.5% at the limit, not for going to the shops.
I had one of these, you undid the screws in the middle of the pcb at the beginning holding the heatsinks in place, that's why the fell off lol I took mine apart to put a liquid block on it when it was still relatively new. These cards were amazing. I really enjoyed mine. Edit: Also there are fuses on to help buffer it from possible total failure because the unlocked bios on these things let them pull up to 1000W. I had mine up to 700w on the liquid block and it was still very solid.
Tony, the "fuse" is indeed just 5mOhm shunt. You can find same ones on older GPUs pretty regularly... as Example have a look at GTX580 PCB. (there are more models between 500 and 700 series that use them).
@@sergioav7278 It's very close it has the same data and the same landing pattern. The print is a bit different. He just has to measure both lengths to be 100% sure.
hi tony, been watching you for awhile now. just want to say that i love ur work, and the amount of effort u put into every repair is indeed undeniable. keep up the good work man, learnt alot through your videos. have a good one
As many people already mentioned please contact Vince (Kingpin) and I'm sure you will get an answer, EVGA is basically dead so I don't think he will have any problem answering you and maybe even will send you schematics.
But this card is abit different. There is a xoc bios for this card that allows no power limit at all. Maybe having the shunt there serves this purpose.
@@northwestrepair I did some research and it seems like they put the shunt resistor before the coil so they can measure the current values before they are smoothed by the inductor/coil. When the shunt is positioned before the coil, the regulator can immediately respond to the actual current spikes before the coil smooths them out. If the shunt were placed after the coil, it would measure these smoothed current values, which seems to be less useful for rapid regulation of the voltage. So it makes more sense to put the shunt resistor before the coil than after it. Check my other comment. I found a part that looks like the one in the video.
3 of the 4 evga products I've tried have been disappointing. A Doa 750w psu A terrible 850w that fried some components A awesome 1080 ti And a disappointing 3080
We are really sorry to announce that @easyhardenduro9847 has been mysteriously disappeared without a trace and is most likely dead by now. Please do not look go look for them(as you may fall in some random trouble), We, EVGA fans have nothing to do with their disappearance BTW.
I have a refurbished GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 still going strong. A few EVGA 430w power supplies that I don't think they even make in that size anymore and my 850w 80+ Gold GQ beast that is freaking awesome. It's kind of sad they don't make Nvidia GPUs anymore. I've had some problems with Corsair 430w PSUs and their fans that were corrected by soldering in new replacement Chinese fans but the EVGAs have been quiet little workhorses.
This could be the best EVGA graphics card ever made. To me it even has collector's value. I've never seen it in real life. I checked a local seller and the FC4L32R005FER 5mOhm shunt for 87 ct looks like the one in the video. If anyone ever sees a broken one, please send it to repair and don't throw it away no matter how bad it looks. It's always worth repairing it. It makes me sad when I see what people throw away. EVGA messed up fan controls since the GeForce 16 series but the water cooled GPUs don't have that fan control problem.
I have this exact card in my current rig. This card is amazing and still can handle anything. I never bothered upgrading to the 4000 series cause this card is still extremely relevant. There is also a 3090 Ti Kingpin version too.
I got one of these cards shortly after EVGA's announcement that they were pulling out of the GPU market. Fitting way to cap off close to ten years of using their cards and I don't see myself moving on from it for the foreseeable future, or even selling it if I do. It's a real marvel of hardware engineering.
THIS 3090 KINGPIN. This is the dream GPU I have been wanting to own one day for a few years now. Seeing it in detail this well for the first time has only made me want it more.😢 The amount of detail Vince put in on designing this board made this GPU into absolute 💯% perfection👌
Yeah the board looks great but the cooler looks like it was made on a episode of linus doing janky cooling using a aio and some copper they found laying around.
the 1995 mark is from the hand binning process for this Product SKU. which ofcourse is binning for benching and subzero, not quite the same as binning for daily gamers.
Kingpin is an interesting fellow, I like to watch him on Gamers Nexus sometimes. Thanks for showing this great card to us although I would rather have the air cooled version. Great day.
Audio is ok, just turn down your mic a bit, something is too high and it's clipping. You want the levels to get as close to 0dB as possible without going over 'into the red' with digital recordings.
its a sense resistor, not a fuse(well everything is a fuse is the current is high enough). R005 means 0.005 ohm resistor. from the location of inductor and caps nearby, i would guess its a part of some RLC filter
decent electric screwdriver i found to be is one by creationspace, the one with 3 torque levels and 220 something rpm for around 25bucks on aliexpres or tbk one with "8" torque levels roughly 300rpm but around 35bucks. there is mant screwdriver 500+rpm version but i found that weak for taking apart solar lights and on top of that, the shaft doesnt lock so you cant really use it manually to loose a screw as it will spin in your hand. i have the 7.2v screwdriver like yours but i dont like it either, it's kinda slow for my liking and cumbersome when i want to manually start the screws in
The fuse is just a 5 milliohm shunt resistor, because it says R005 which means .005Ω or 0.005Ω. Just scrub the board with dremel and use from a different GPU, they are all 5 mOhm. There are many cases where a shunt resistor is used instead of a fuse, so there is a chance there are no current sensing connections on them.
Either your mic or levels need adjustment as there's distortion in your sound/voice. I would get in touch with Vince (Kingpin) as he's genuinely a really good guy and would likely be more than willing to have a discussion about one of his GPU's.
1995 is a bin number ... all KP GPUs are binned to make sure the hit a specific Clock frequency ... This just means that GPU was GPU number 1995 from the binning process
Hello, i really wondering if you're thinking about getting a 4k camera so we could get a better view at all the components on the GPU's that youre fixing ?
Evga didnt care about welding the coldplate because they probably assume you will mod the sht out of it anyway like putting a liquid nitrogen caldera on it
Says 1995 because that's the clock speed that it was binned at. Because when you buy the best you get the best. And there was no other card on the planet that is as good as that when that card came out. And I guarantee you there was a reason for everything for the way it was designed.

Its super rare and super broken :))
you ok man?you sound alot different than normally... i hope ur alright
Probably still uncomfortable from the ordeal on last video
I would solder those plates together just a bit.
That fuse could be a smd PTC fuse which is resetable but eventually failed after tortured for quite a lot of time or a shunt.
YES you should have took the shroud completely apart.
5:49 You could even solder them.
TONY THE RADIATOR MUST STAY ABOVE THE CARD. IT IS THE FIRST Thing in the manufacturers box. of course when poweres on
how would they screw the coldplate into the pump if it was one piece

I mean, he puts up a caption pretty much straight away....
are all of those vcore mosfets joined at output ? why don't you short vcore to gnd so you could push more amps without it going trough core ?
That component "RJ4" is not a fuse, it's a resistor 0.005ohm, it can act like a fuse but it not a fuse
That is a shunt resistor, not a fuse, it’s used for wider traces …
