MSVDD is indeed a huge pain on the higher SKU ampere Cards. it's still vCore, but Nvidia was trying to skimp so much on VRM design with Ampere that they had to split vCore into two separate inputs to help it be able to handle the Amperage needs. which ended up as a mess anyways, with 3090's tending to have their VRM blow up from being so underpowered. atleast they did fix that for 3090Ti and that no longer has the MSVDD split, the VRM being actually good, but a bit late to fix that by that point. amusingly since 3080Ti's came out several Months later, those Cards tended to have a less underbuilt VRM compared to most 3090 Models, so the Flagship tended to blow up while the cut down was farrrrrrr less likely to.
Nice work! Always impressed by your skills as a troubleshooter. I was 30 years in industrial automation and robotics; retired now. (We just replaced bad cards and threw them away unless the manufacturer was covering them under warranty!)
Enjoy the videos, I can follow what your doing up to a point, I followed the whole video, but at the end you stumped me, on what you did to fix the card.
You are making my brain hurt. This is a great video. So much knowledge you pass on. Thank you for giving us some of your valuable time as you make these videos. If you sold things I would support you and purchase things from you. It is actually a nice way to make a little income. You should consider it.
This happens a lot on Am4 Mainboards as well, where VDDP gets disabled as soon as you power it up with a CPU in it. Also a transistor that you can remove, so the EN doesnt get disabled.
So all these driver MOSFET have a Temperature reporting output on the same bus (probably a serial bus) and they send messages to the controller with some ID in order to for the controller to know which is the MOSFET and the rail.
very nice repair and troubleshooting thanks! Are you aware that your oscilloscope has a web interface/VNC server so you don't need a camera pointing at it? :)
Mr Wizard did it again! While showing us the level of knowledge needed to fix these bloody things.... He is definitely on another level 😁 I don't know if I should complain about the bad illumination of your face, I would suggest a ring light pointing at you.
Strange how that works.Have you ever spoken to someone like ChrisFix about odd issues with boards? I just want to say you do some amazing work( broken board/broken trace.)😎🤠🧔♂
Dear Northwestrepair can you please tell me where can I bought that test power supply for graphic card 🙏 I also do repair graphic cards and motherboards just like you, thanks in advance 🙏🙏
I didn't see your current room on the million dollar house you walked us around! Scamming us! I want a refund for the $50 advance fee that means you look at my GFX card in 2026 instead of 2028!
A 0 ohm resistor is just a wire link that can be placed by a machine, it's there instead of a direct connection because the board is designed to accommodate a variety of similar but not quite identical components, so if they have to source mosfets or memory or similar from a different manufacturer then the 0 ohm resistor or other valued resistors are placed or removed to change the circuit layout slightly to make that slightly different component work with the rest of the board.
Because the AMD cards have completely different board designs, and this annoys him I guess. He is used to nVidia cards, so it makes harder to find the issue(s). And he repairs more nVidia cards, because obviously much more people have them, than AMD cards. And generally nVidia cards are more expensive, so it's more likely someone would spend money to fix it.
He explained ot Nvidia board are cheap shit but the silicon is usually good AMD cards the boards are nice but the silicon dies easy so every so often you see an AMD card and its a dead core Nvidia it's mostly a board repair
Do you think EVGA would get back to making GPU's if Nvidia offered them a better deal to where they could profit ? I hate that they stopped making them it's all Nvidia's greedy fault . Imagine what they would make for the 5090 coming out ...

Pretty interesting context, thanks 👍
someone talking about overclocking called MSVDD 'core cache'
Nice work! Always impressed by your skills as a troubleshooter. I was 30 years in industrial automation and robotics; retired now. (We just replaced bad cards and threw them away unless the manufacturer was covering them under warranty!)
Extremely detailed and complex. My work with consoles and vr headsets tvs and phones is basic cimpared to this. This is truly next level repair.
Damn I always feel stupid when people talk about electronics and schematics. Glad I can just pay you money to fix stuff.
Enjoy the videos, I can follow what your doing up to a point, I followed the whole video, but at the end you stumped me, on what you did to fix the card.
It's good to be a smart guy! Excellent work, Tony!
Excellent diags Tony! Keep up the good work! Have a good rest of the weekend!
Thankyou..excellent learnings,fault findings and outcome.again..best content imho. magic stuff
i have the same issue. thank you for that tip. mine has overheating mosfet. after replace it and put the diode back. it went normal.
Woooo! Would've never figured this one out!
Always a good video to watch with plenty of things to learn, thanks Tony!
Excellent work, indeed! 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Nice video. A question; What liquid do you have in your ultrasonic cleaner, just water, or?
Who knows, maybe champagne 😅😅😅😅

No. It's just voltage to the same pin.

I worry about these manufacturers making the cards not repairable. that will be next... like they are doing to everything else.
im sure this dude will fix even a nuke if him found it somewhere plz dont send him a nuke

Can you make a video only about your voltage CPU repair thing and it's features. 😅 thanks
You are amazing sir.
That was fun one

Hello from internet
What happened to the OG northridgerepair guy?
Always good to learn something new....if your not learning your not living lol
i like to buy a short finder whats is the dicountcode i need the 0.3% discount 😬
How is it that you come by the revision diagrams?
do you use webcams or capture cards and camera?
No
Tha AI voice is also nice.
Epic stuff man;
Need resistance value on 1.8v and memory
Normal
When is your next huge shipment due in?
Dear Northwestrepair can you please tell me where can I bought that test power supply for graphic card 🙏 I also do repair graphic cards and motherboards just like you, thanks in advance 🙏🙏
I think you have to build it yourself ...
Buy it from big boss
its in his store
You should be able to do a similar thing using a bench power supply with a variable regulated (current limited) output.
Not for repair video, enjoying the trolling.

Great video 👏
Its Tesla wireless connection to that diod

What card/model do you repair the most?
Nvidia random models
great work
What software do you use for schematic?
Is there any card you DO like?
MSI is not too bad
😮
@@northwestrepair lol can't tell if he's trolling or not.
Wait.. A 0 Ohm resister? Wouldn't that be a passthrough?
A 0 ohm resistor can be referenced as a jumper or fuse (lower current), developers may also make use of them as circuit separation for testing.
So a jumper or passthrough...@@chihofung6860
where do u find these schematics for graphics cards man i needed one for my gigabyte gtx 1070 8gb g1 rev2 board and couldn't find one anywhere
Cant believe AMD would do this...
What is the name of the gpu power controlled tool?
I need one like that
how did made that toy? can you share?
Hello sir!
What's up with the headphones? :)) they look diy, is there a video on them?
No. Just a 3d printed band holding it attached.
So what's the fault and the fix? Can some one time code I watched the whole thing but didn't see it

Can somebody tell me why use 0 ohm resistors instead of a wire link or no resistor at all required. ?
A 0 ohm resistor is just a wire link that can be placed by a machine, it's there instead of a direct connection because the board is designed to accommodate a variety of similar but not quite identical components, so if they have to source mosfets or memory or similar from a different manufacturer then the 0 ohm resistor or other valued resistors are placed or removed to change the circuit layout slightly to make that slightly different component work with the rest of the board.
Do it right, or don't do it at all!!
It's hard to live by those words.
How come you complain so much about AMD cards but end up fixing soooo many Nvidia cards...?

in this case ?
1.8v buck converter.
Somehow pgood was not on the board
