Transmission fluid is a very good rust remover, and is designed to not interact with most metals. I work as an auto mechanic. You can take a rusted husk of a part, or tool and drop in in trans fluid for an hour and it will come out without a spec of rust. a micro drop on a rust spot is enough. Maybe this could be helpful to you. Its fairly easy to clean off with any cleaning fluid that will mix with the trans fluid and make it loose its viscosity. such as alcohol.
Thermalright makes some of the best pads on the market. Gelid's GP Extreme pads are also very good too and very similar to Odyssey pads in terms of performance/firmness in case you ever need an alternative.
LOL... did you just use a pasta roller to make a custom thickness pad? That's genius. And that corrosion is such a mess. I've tried cleaning that crap up... what a PITA.
There's humidity absorbers you can use in a PC case right where the air is going inside the case. You need to configure the intake on one single place and the exhaust everywhere else and put the humidity absorber near intake. Rice is doing some good job but you need something like a linear multi-layer filter for that to be efficient so maybe a few layers of rice along the path of air intake would do the trick. It won't take all humidity out, obviously but it will take a lot.
sometime in the past I lived in Barbados. Small island with the trade winds blowing all the time, needless to say the environment there plays hell on electronics.
THANKS!!!! I have that same model, and you answer my eternal search for the right size thermalpads (1.75 for memory and 2m for VRM) now my real question is.... How do you adapt a needle into a thermal paste syringe?
You cut it with pliers then you sand the tip properly. After you sand the tip, don't forget to get rid of all of the very tiny pieces of metal (sanding makes those) before you use it.
@@northwestrepair i am really curious about the PCB + Voltage and amp tester If may gives some Tips and tricks on how you done it 🤏🙏that much you know 👀 in your next video
As much as I hate to say it and even though I love EVGA, something is going on with all 30 series cards as they get a lot corroted, I've come across XC3s and FTW3s that the heatsink and ports are all full of rust. And it isn't just coincidence, a guy had around 40 cards mining in a warehouse, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI were all fine and the EVGAs were all covered in rust and the heatsink flaking off
Of course it can. You need an eeprom programmer, a hot air station, skills and to never ever again do this yourself until you learn what you need to know to find a BIOS that really matches the card. If you find a BIOS for a Gigabyte RTX 1240 it does not mean it is working on yours even if it is a Gigabyte RTX 1240. Send the card to this man and he will have it fixed for you.
@@northwestrepair I have a corsair psu 1000w that has really loud coil whine not sure if it is coil whine but it sounds like it waiting on a new PSU coming in the post 21 of this month I will then check again and see if it was the PSU I'll let you know
Why are u not uploading? Please, upload! You told "I have more and more repairs on video, which i'll show you." ❤ Pakistan loves you ❤ You're better than the North-Bridge on the Southside next to the Westcorner at the Eastsee ;)
I went with Thermal Grizzly. Not the best, but still better than stock. Worst part for me was, when i had to use multiple sizes. 1mm for VRAM, 1,5mm for VRM and backplate VRAM, 3mm for backplate VRM. Too bad i can´t just remove the backplate and use my GPU without it, as fan shroud is mounted to it. I´m considering doing a deshroud, just for fun. If i´ll be successful, then i´ll gladly remove the backplate too.
I offered to try fixing a pc for friend's father who's apparently a heavy smoker. The amount of tar, dust and God only knows what else that was caked inside and out was unlike anything I've seen. I had to clean my own USB drive I put in a rear port before realizing how bad it really was. To make matters worse, even the exhaust fan was installed backwards as an intake. Even my trusty red can, a little brake cleaner and a soft toothbrush struggled but eventually that's all that was wrong. Most of it was bad contact but I think it may have somehow interferred with some components. I don't know if it's possible for build-up to eventually add capacitance or slight conductivity to sensitive areas but it definitely seemed to be doing something. Absolutely disgusting.
Imagine his lungs then, lol. Vaping does the same. Its oil that sticks everywhere and combining dust with it makes it stick like glue. Normally oils should not be conductive but if it's very unclean, it can happen
isn't replacing the port just like, giving a drug addict a new heart? especially when you said they live at the beach. why not just remove the rust instead and put a protective coat on it?
you can take the port apart , clean every pin from rust and apply protective coat on every pin all without destroying gold plating ? You must be Dr. Manhattan
Who would have thought of a pasta maker being used like that! Nice one!
Thanks! 😊
I was wondering what that was 🤔😅
I am obsessed with the pasta machine,
I thought that looked like something my wife uses, lol
This is my card , thanks for the dedication and support.
His work is excellent
Very satisfied customer!!
Thank you very much!

So much work and so thorough!

Do you have any software to test amd memory?
discord server. its all there
Tony! Did you seriously add slot machine sounds to the outer space device? XD
Almost.
It was music box. A very bad one 😂

Love the tom&jerry style outro, or Looney Tunes, idk those stuffs you know what I mean
8:21 ...Is that a literal pasta extruder??
Yeah
the card could get an ultrasonic clean and would be good, would knock out most of the oxid's from the board
dont have one
The man modified his bread toaster to make a thermal Pad slicer machine. Genius! 😄
Did the display ports get tested at all? Seems like they should all be tested if the HDMI had that many problems
yes it worked but he uses HDMI so.
Amazing job
Thank you! 😄

Well don't run them in a warehouse then.
Having solder on the edge connector can cause fretting corrosion, sucks there is no easy fix for it
gold plating at home lol.
Good luck with that i guess
@@northwestrepair @SolderingGeek has a video on it
Can you fix pcb breaks on the tab holder near the pcie connector in a 6900xt?
How on Earth can someone manage to have PCB breaks on the tab holder?

Nice work!
Usually what temp do you set on your soldering iron ?
350

Link for thermal thermal pads? Also mmm thermal pad lasagne?
hey a question please , after flashing vbios on GPU (original VBios) the card won't show image/ black screen , can this be fixed??

If it works, it works.
I have found firmark loads the card more if in full screen at native resolution, have you found the same?
Never tried.
No need.
Noctua/Asus 3070 vs Evga 3070 which is better?
looks like a mining card, real rough.
As RTX-4090 being very expensive, what are you opinions of these monsters design
Nothing better than EVGA
@@northwestrepair i agree, that’s all I purchased in the past, Sadly those days are gone
What's the difference between Thermalright Odyssey and Extreme Odyssey II?
Ño idea
Anyone know y 8pin power 1 higher 85w and then 2 is 18w and 3 is 27w is this normal for RTX 3080 with a load
Bad connection somewhere.
Possibly cable splitter used.
Bad fuse if any.
Number of causes.

I can't believe modern card repairs need a caliper now.
"next to salt water" either means a beachfront house, or they have a tropical fish tank that they keep too close to their PC.
What is the name of that tool that you used to squish the thermal pads?

Looks like pasta roller to me

Does a dehumidifier help?
I would think so.
Odyssey pads are also hard like a biscuit..its better to use softer pads..or yet thermal putty..

maybe you are using wrong pads. Mine are OK. Somewhat compressible. which is what u want
Salty moisture is the worst. It eats everything apart from the lungs. For some reason, lungs enjoy salty moisture in the air they breathe.
How much would you charge for this card?
80 i think
🤣🤣bro wtf is that thing, it sounds like a jack in the box

@@DoodieSmoothie Yeah cannabis smokers are worse than tobacco due to the gunk that sticks everywhere and makes it hard to clean the dust away.
@@DoodieSmoothie Dust usually contains iron particles and a serious build up is really starting to be electrically conductive.
The dust allows static buildup, especially bad around MOSFETs.

Looks like you barely use any thermal paste on the GPU.
Its enough.
I was thinking it is much less than I would normally apply too, but the proof is in the spread. It looked great when he pulled the cooler off.
Smelly card? Came from an indoor smoker, I presume?
I dont know. It looked rusted and with clumps of hair.
@@northwestrepair PCs from long time indoor smokers are usually covered in sticky tar and dust that cannot be removed with compressed air.
These EVGA GPU's are just.... pinnacle of card design man. So sexy.
RIP EVGA 2022 :(
dude, just measure the old pads before anything :V
that does not always work. Sometimes pads are soft and allow for error. Some pads are hard and do not.
its not humidity, its salt in air from sea
