I have this same card. I bought it used and it's been doing quite well for me for about a year now. PNY was the cheapest 1080ti on ebay.
Nice fix, you have the most in depth repairs I've seen.
Love your comments on PNY's cooling "solution". Now I know why YT reviewers don't touch PNY cards. And I won't either.
Great work on the repair! Always insightful.
Actually, reviewers touch PNY's cards fairly often; they make the Founders edition cards and the workstation cards from nvidia
@@JensTX I'll grant you that PNY made the 1000-series Founder's Editions. But not the latest ones according to igor'sLAB, who stated that Foxconn and BYD were contracted to manufacture the 3000-series FE cards.
Let me clarify that the TH-cam hardware reviewers I have watched for the past few years (Gamers Nexus, Paul's Hardware, Linus Tech Tips, der8auer, JayzTwoCents) have not published a review on a card branded as PNY that I remember seeing.
@Not AN OVERPRICED GOUGING TECH FAN "NAOPGTF" Built my system before COVID. Took me seven months to find a 5950X at MSRP from a reputable vendor for an upgrade. The EVGA graphics cards I have serve me well--they're the only ones I've had in recent years that haven't died. Sad to see them leave the GPU market.
This comment made me laugh so hard, LoL!
PNY is the Nvidia OEM for their professional GPU lineup (former QUADRO).
I had PNY cards before - like a GTX 780 I have unboxed in my channel -, and they were fine. As many other brands, their cooling solutions go from the "it sucks balls" blowers like the one featured (MSI has their AERO, ASUS and GIGABYTE have their TURBOs) and the "good enough" average to the good ones.
Bro when I saw the thumbnail I was like why TH-cam is recommending me abt a guy who has opinions about a specific company... But I'm glad TH-cam did... The vids are fab and oddly satisfying to watch yo.
Feels like we are in this together.
Yeaaaa budyyyy lightweight
Damn crazy awesome video
the back to back :D 1080tis are now dropping like flies now :( Dry paste, and other stuff now is EOL.
WE LOVE PNY!
with these type of blower card I usually strap some aio with one of those bracket, and put bunch of individual small copper heatsink with thermal adhesive on memory, mosfet drivers, and capacitors, works wonder, but that's just for personal use though.
Gotta say that I love this channel. It's strangely satisfying watching your repairs, especially since I've been around computers my entire life, but know next to nothing about their components and how they function. This channel may as well be wizardry to me, which makes it all the more enjoyable to watch lol
Pretty fair repair there friend. When faults don't show up it is because you want them to. That is their nature.
Sometimes I really envy what kind of green they smoke to be able to produce cooling designs such as these, love the video man really enjoyed the PNY cuts lmfao
It's an old design. They didn't bother to improve anything.
Don't think they smoked anything... Otherwise it would be designed better.
well this is entertaining to watch! Subscribed immediately
I'm in bed sick. This is just what I needed
Feel better bro!
I hear ya'! I'm in bed myself and not doing so well either. 😕
Hope you feel better soon, bro! 👍👍
u are not the only one,hope you get better.
Yeah I gotta be more thankful when I'm well. Cause when I'm sick it's so ass 😩
The best cure is a PC repair, I agree
I bought a 3060Ti PNY actually and was hoping to see a PNY on the channel. Sadly it is a blower design. Very entertaining video tho.
How loud is it playing games
So nice to see someone who knows what they are doing. nice work!
I like the method of explanation and very useful information.
I have nothing to say. I'm left speechless by your skills.
if ever one of those powercollor red devils pop up for repair , video of it would be awesome .
PNY is one of them companies they make really cheap stuff and really good stuff, I've had PNY quadro's OEM of course, so they were built well, I've had a GTX 780 from PNY, pretty decent cooler on it, I've had bottom of the barrel PNY 760 that was probably worse than that.
When I maintained one of these at my old job I put some thermal putty between the sink and the memory heat spreader.
that cooler is the reference cooler it was used on cards at least as far back as the 580 maybe even farther back then that. i have an evga 580 with basically the extract same cooler. nothing really wrong with it did the job its louder then some of the beast 3rd party coolers that high tier cards use but it did the job or cards wouldn't have came with it for so many generations. i think there was even a few 20 and 30 series cards that still used that cooler although blower style cards have mostly died off in the last couple generations.
I can confirm that many GTX 570 and 580 had the exact same cooling system so it is really old. The design is fine but it needs only a bit of modifying to work a lot better.
I recognize that back plate you say serves no purpose. I think it was an EVGA 1060 6GB blower model. Most of the heat sink was contacting the plate, which had thermal pads underneath, cooling the VRAM. I don't know how efficient that method was but I think it was the reasoning for the large heat sink with such minimal die contact.
thanks for the video
There is something very satisfying in those repairs.
I bought an MSI Aero variant in April for my collection and some tinkering. The blower solution was evicted from the card in the same evening I got it after a few stress tests - yep, its a jet engine in your living room. In went an Arctic Accelero III and individual Alu heatsinks for RAM and power delivery. Card is almost inaudible at 48 - 52 C. I have shitty heating so it mines RVN during the night in my bedroom. 200w heater that partially pays for itself. Great card.
I see a NWR video, i am happy
I love this short adds inside your videos ! XD
Your soldering skills is top notch. Do you just order the parts or do you have a surplus inventory of ic's and caps, etc?
Are*
Yep, he's a god.
I have some in stock, some from donor cards which I don't have many. Wish people would send me some donors.
Would be nice 🙂
@@northwestrepair could that be because you seem like a ghost online? I.e. if you had a website or maybe even a Twitter - maybe with contact details / form - people could get in touch if they want to send you donors. I suspect you could also get a LOT of business if people knew how to reach you. Great video sir!
@@xntumrfo9ivrnwf contact information is in description.
Am not a ghost.
I have a website. It's just not used for that purpose right now.
Maybe later I will put it up. Right now I don't have time or need for it.i don't think.
Nice job, we learned many thing from you
I bought this one... Performance was great... & Hand it down to my cousin up North in Malaysia since He's stuck with GTX760 & He wanted to play Witcher 3 smoothly & at higher preset... Cool card tho PNY....
Aaay 2 vids in a day🎉🎉🎉🎉
Soldering such small components looks stressful but this looks awesome!. I've seen some of your videos looking into various brands, and I believe EVGA (RIP) is your top, having checked several generations (1000, 2000 and 3000), which brand has improved/getting worst the most in build quality?
I'd also like to know the general breakdown of what's good and what to avoid.
I'm also amazed at the magnified detail work.
With Nvida selling the cores at a high price and competing in the market place it looks like to make a profit board partners will have to cut coners anywhere possible. I think Gamers Nexus talked about it once already. I was a EVGA fanboy everything from GTX780 up to the current RTX3080 - not sure what I will get next.
PNY.. Keep that in mind, before you buy.. love it....🤗🤗
This is the first time I've heard of PNY. A company from New Yoysey, originally from Brooklyn, NYC. You can't have a worse pedigree than that😅
I've learned something new today. Better education than the state of New York will ever provide 😆👍🌈
PNY is Nvidia's OEM for their professional GPUs (former QUADRO line) and they are in the industry for a very long time. That's a "pedigree", as far as I am concerned. I had PNY cards before - like a GTX 780 I have unboxed in my channel -, and they were fine. As many other brands, their cooling solutions go from the "it sucks balls" blowers like the one featured (MSI has their AERO, ASUS and GIGABYTE have their TURBOs) and the "good enough" average to the good ones. Sure, PNY doesn't have the "very-good-God-tier" coolers like the big three have (MSI, ASUS. GIGABYTE) but, that hardly makes PNY a bad manufacturer with a bad pedigree.
@@johnny_rook Yeah, sure. *pny gpu dies after a year and a half of use due to shit cooling*
@@Sergmanny46 Absolute rubish! If that's true, why is my 2013 PNY assembled GTX 780 still running on my little nefew's PC?
You people just can't help making fools out of yourselfs
@@johnny_rook Just because YOU got a decent product does NOT mean PNY doesn't make garbage compared to other gpu brands. Case in point, Razer is allegedly awful these days, yet my headphones I purchased 3+ years ago are still good and running.
@@Sergmanny46I got a decent product?! What about everybody else that got a decent PNY product? Use your brain for a moment instead of entering the hate train & bandwagon for sheep: PNY was the OEM for Nvidia QUADRO lineup of GPUs, the ones for servers and workstations, for more than a decade. They sell to "big tech" corporations by the millions, which made Nvidia billions of dollars. Do you really think PNY would keep that status for so long if their GPUs -- that ran in the most horrific working conditions and hot environment btw --, "died after year and a half of use due to shit cooling"? C'mon man, seriously?
Also, what does Razer have to do with anything?
This is the proverbial "red herring" logical fallacy, if I ever seen one. Don't shift the argument, please.
Bro you are the BEST!!!!
Am ok i think
@@northwestrepair For our eyes you are the best, you know where to search what look for, explaining everything, the day my GPU dies will go to your hand my friend.
Nice diagnosis
I got a PNY GTX 260 relic with koolance waterblock that STILL works.
They may not know how to make cooling but they surely know how to solder a PCB.
And get a proper thermal cam ffs. My recommendation to HT-301.
Can you include the name of the GPU and the problem in the title please? It helps a lot.
The only thing I ever bought from PNY was a double DDR2 Ram Kit (2x2GB). One module died after about 3 years. The other one should work til today.
A tour of your shop would be a cool video to see. Favorite tools, least favorite tools. Any repairs you do other than gpus etc. For instance, do you ever use the oscilloscope?
Don't have a shop.
Small kids bedroom.
No kids. Just a cat.
Nice video
PNY should take off with Kingpin now working wi5h them.
Interesting and entertaining. Mins sharing what was the liquid you used? Ethyl alcohol?
91% iso alcohol
pretty much the same cooling design as the MSI AERO 1080ti. They do the job, you only need to wear noise cancelling headphones.
You have sense of humour ! I`m laughing until now !
I have a pny 2060 super blower edition, hopefully it will last a while.
just WOW.
the tiny electronics R so easy to get knocked off. I had a motherboard MSI X570, a super board. well it lost some small electronics, from a skin.
fried the chipset!
Since EVGA is not in the game anymore. What other brand of GPU would you recommend based on your experience disassembling and repairing GPU’s?
really depends on which model/generation. evga had some really shitty cards as well, the xc3 3000 series is one of the worst and the ftw3 is pretty mediocre as well. you should check buildzoid pcb review for the model you're interested in. eg ive heard northwest talk shit on older asus cards, but for 3000 and 4000 asus is top tier on TUF and strix models.
for nvidia asus Strix are the best I think, and for amd I like sapphire's vapor x line
you best
Some people say once in every 5 to 10 years comes a card so good Nvidia wishes they never made it!
Or so the legend goes.
1070/1080/ti were and are indeed good cards even in 2023.
I know this Vid is a little old, but i hope someone can help me still:
I just found this card for 40$ with the Blower being dead.
Is it possible to just mod a Custom design cooler + Backplate to this card without running into Compatability issues ?
Like i find resellers for Strix, Zotac, MSI and KFA2 Cases Only, but im not sure if i can just apply them.
A vapor chamber that big with flat ass and they decide to cover it with another layer of metal to make them boil within themselves, Epic design PNY
What do you think about Sapphire Nitro cards, people say the construction quality is very good
back in the day i had geforce gtx 670 pny in 2013 and it lasted around 2 years (brother had asus 670 and his lasted around 5-6ish year) . Then got a 960 what i replaced with 1060 6gb (bought it when it was released 2016) and that 1060 was replaced with 3070 ti in 2021. So that 1060 was working still after 5 years. Also cleaned my pc once a month. In my opinion, no they don't make good graphics cards.
Bykski still sells a full cover water block for this gpu
They are an American based brand and imo PNY is a sleeper good brand for gpus.
PNY mainly serves the quadro market, they are a US based company. In fact they are one of the only US GPU manufacturers left.
They manufacture OEM gpus for companies like DELL for example.
To say they are bad is inaccurate, however to say they make good gaming grade gpu's is also inaccurate. They serve the workstation market more than anything.
good to know 🙂
Blower cards can be useful, but dammit do their temps and noise not suck....
Good video
PNY wonder why
Where do you get these old graphic cards that are broken? I'm looking to start fixing gpus
I don't know anything about electronics but I love your videos, when you de soldered a chip what kind of liquid is that?
Its either flux or isopropyl alcohol
4:28 - Flux to clean the board. Desoldering braid to pick up the loose solder. Then more flux. Isopropyl alcohol is flammable, so it should not be used with the heat gun.
@@Lurker-dk8jk Liquid Flux is made from solid/paste flux mixing it with isopropyl alcohol :)
Did you make the Super Tester Mega Pro XL? If so, does it come in an ULTRA Turbo LEET option?
Great stuff as usual 👌👍
Nice.
Nothing else to say.
gj
there is a 4090 in Germany that needs fixing
LOL. Saw that earlier. At least Roman has a warranty.
PNY doesn't make anything any good. Years ago I bought some 2GB PNY SD cards for retro computers (largest they can use) and non of them would work. I later found out they were defective 4GB cards that they formatted to 2GB, but the memory controller still reported them as 4GB...
Paris to New York babyyyy lol
odd midnight snack,
I got a fun question, that I hope I can find an answer to here. I have a PNY-branded GTX 1650 that I was scammed with back in 2020. bought it for 100, but noticed the serial number had been _torn off_ of the back. seller blocked me when I brought it up.
when I have it installed in my computer, the fan gives a little jolt, and the computer doesn't want to post. what could I theoretically test in an attempt to find a fix?
I sold my's MSI because coil whine issue and went to PNY(3080). anddd The coil whine is gone. The card design looks meh...
anyways, I think they're behind other AIB partners when it comes to high-end gaming product line but they made a decent quality and keep the price cheap.
well, maybe not that one on the vid.
That's why you should avoid buying low tier cards from Pny, Manli and others you most probably never heard of.
PNY is a manufacturer I consider to be good,though admittedly they are known more for their low end selections
Never heard of Manli though
PNY make me cry
Had an ASUS 1080 ti back in the day. It heated at 80 plus Celsius no matter what I did. The exact same design. There is an airflow cooling that metal plate that's seated on all memory chips so I guess that is just fine but the part that's cooling the GPU is not OK. On top of everything they put a million ports right where the air it is supposed to get out which means that half of the path is already closed. That's an old design and nobody thought to cut the number of ports down to be able to leave more space for the airflow to flow more freely. Design engineering probably takes more braincells than some design engineers possess.
I thought PNY cards only existed to sell waterblocks.
Never thought I would see a 1080ti blower, seems kinda strange
I have nothing to say!
I am not a fan of PNY. To me they are like a generic brand. If I'm going to spend a lot of money on a GPU it would previously have been EVGA. Now I would either buy Gigabyte or MSI.
What brands make good GPU designs? Other than EVGA.
everyone has some
do same for 1070 ti g1 gaming gigabyte please
what thermal camera is that? I don't find it in the google drive folder. Thank you :)
how would you find a thermal camera in google drive folder anyway ?
@@northwestrepair in the Video info stands tools you find in the google drive folder 😄
@@northwestrepair so what is that camera? i really need one, but the Flir one's are soooooo exprenisve^^
Could you give me the link of this thermal camera?
Which card maker you recommend the most for 20 and 30 series?
EVGA
It's crazy the way some of these cards come with thermal pads that are the wrong thickness. Almost as if the people assembling the cards at the factory do not know any better. That can't be right, can it? Ahem. /s
I've been saying this about PNY for over a decade. Every single product of theirs that I bought failed. I will never buy PNY anything.
pee-enn why
to be fair most people probably don't keep their Gpu for 6 years, Pny n Zotac would always be cheapest
I have an nvidia 980ti reference, the cooling design is similar, there’s nothing wrong with it
@@tartantulakid666 Bro the tdp of both of them is the same, why are you talking about performance? Our focus is about heat dissipation.
Googling 1080ti's reference cooler, Nvidia still used the same style as pny, the front plate for vrm + vram cooling, while the cooper block is for the gpu die.
@@tartantulakid666 performance is totally irrelevant.
are they still so bad?
Pny gpu is not durable, it died within 3 years, i did not even overclock, the gpu just turn black screen while playing games.
I hope that PNY 4080 doesn't have this issue
I have nothing to say :D
pny have very good cards, and all quadro cards made by pny.
:)
i have nothing to say
by any chance you watch CHRISFIX channel?
Up with the old
In with the new
yeah i do
Does anyone know how to view the .cad files for the PCB layout files?
Does anyone know how to 'claim account' in the discord server?
Win/Mac application -> Boardviewer
@@doktorvga
Thank you. I had downloaded about 7 other CAD programs and PCB programs and none worked.
Nothing to say
Thats a blower design cooler. They all usually suck regardless of the brand.
