@@devilzuser0050 Prob... For 4090 even up to 350-400.. Still when ppl are apes, they will brake parts... For example i never brake parts that are in my own systems.

But is not like i was to blame for these crap problems...

@@ferdex-gaming5101 Probably not, especially if you're playing older games at 1440P; new games at around 1080P. Those components seem evenly matched. 500W PSU should be enough if you're not running too many accessories, like extra drives and USB devices.
7:35 Depends on the quality and length. If the riser is undamaged and high enough quality it has no impact within measurement error. PCI-E 3.0 and below is easy and very tolerant of risers. 4.0 requires more expensive risers, the longer the riser the better it has to be to stay within signal integrity margins. 5.0 is a nightmare to cable, but luckily only top-end servers are making use of it today.
I was gonna mention that, I think I remember an LTT video where they tested PCIE 3.0 ribbon risers and managed to get to 3M length by daisychaining them with the GPU still working...
I think most of the viewers are PC ethusiasts like myself who are fascinated at how you can repair these cards, and your extensive knowledge...especially like the 3090 featured here. Kudos, been watching for a couple of months now!
@northwestrepair 2:29 Chemtronic Flux-Off Aqueous. It's $60 for a gallon and is diluted 1:10 in de-ionized water. So 1 gallon of the chemtronics stuff is going to net you 11 gallons total. It lasts a while too, you can re-use the same detergent for a ton of boards before it needs replacing. Basically, you want concentrated Aqueous formulations if you want good economy. I use similar here in the U.K and it gets boards looking like new.
I love your workmanship! Keep the variety of videos going. But one thing, please, don't shy away from making longer videos. I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed this video had it even lasted an hour. Maybe release a long and short version of same?
I have this same card on my main pc FTW3 Ultra with Hybrid water cooling, pump modded to 90%, noctua fans etc 62c/84c max gaming raytracing, all my cards are way messier, i use copper shims with soft putty and it works wonders, but it takes time to clean if you ever need to or change anything...love modding and this is definitive solution, you don't need to change pads ever!
It shocks me how bad some of these GPUs are when they get to you. It makes me wonder what the owner was thinking or doing with it. GPUs can be the most expensive component in a build.
awsome fix as usual. one question. doesn't kerosene fuck up the plastics (like connectors etc.) or it needs a lot of time to do it? pci-e 3 is very tolerant to signal disparities, so longer sizes of good quality cables is fine. pci-e 4 needs even better cables and is a bit of pain to find those. pci-e 5 is a cable nightmare but is not yet widely used.
Great work as always. I have a question, yesterday i decided to open my EVGA 3080 ftw3 ultra to clean it up and repaste it since it was getting very hot (86c max at 100% load when gaming) and i saw that the copper plate touching the core looked darker like it got burnt, is that normal or should i be concerned of the card's longevity? Card works fine atm and now temps are better (72c at 100%), i still need to replace the pads but don't know which size i should buy.
I have the 10g version and mine runs that hot also from what Icue is telling me and I monitor off temp sensor #3 which is 10c hotter than the other 2 for whatever reason. Worries me as well, but it's within spec from what I found on reddit since they draw more power they generate more heat.
@northwestrepair This is a perfect example of "just because you can does not mean you should" Reading things on the Internet does not mean it is always true
I have a 6500xt 2 fan. Somehow the thermal pads are not the original ones. From what I saw online these are thicker then the other ones. What thicknness should they be?
i don't know if you will notice but i just want to ask if 800ohms on 3.3v is normal? card keeps blowing the core vrm, already replace the controller, fets and drivers at it keeps frying the fets and sometimes the driver too, core is not dead short, just above 3ohms
I'm trying to buy a GPU with memory errors for cheap to practice electronics repair. I found a local maker space where I can work. Hoping it just needs a reball but it looks like memory ICs aren't very expensive. I could really use some sort of troubleshooting guide and an idea of where to get board schematics. Also, do you have a list of the tools and programs you use for diagnostics? Your videos are helpful but I'm not going to figure out what I'm doing from those alone. I've studied electronic theory in the past but applying it to actual board repair is hardly straightforward.
to all who wonder why he did it- i never done it but i can explain it: evga thermal pad are not normal thickness (2.75 mm for example) so many try to put thermal paste/glue in order to compensate for the thickness lost by the pad ( 2.5 mm+ thermal paste basiclly). in the past evga weere selling the pads but stoped- so that not an option even anymore. for thoes who say that thee user neeed to take care more- he actuually taking care of his harware more then the usual user by trying (unsucssefully) to replace the pad using the tool that can be bought online atm.
Question: how come we dont see all these problems on laptop GPUs ? or do they have them and no one repairs them ? seems to me if laptops were dying like the desktop GPUs I would have heard about it ? just asking. love the vids.
Almost $120 shipped for a gallon. The label is a bit scary saying it will burn your skin so i can imagine it will burn your lungs if you inhale its vapors standing close to it when its doing its thing. At 50c operating temperature, it will evaporate enough for it to enter your lungs for sure.
As a 10 year European Automotive Technician I really appreciate the thoroughness and integrity you put into your work. Keep it up brother youre a great example of caring about what you do.
Being a good tech is all about the mindset.
People need to treat their PC parts with more responsibly... That card was disgusting.
Good work Tony
thanks
@@northwestrepair Hay man good job on repairing these messes... But i wonder how much would this repair from this video cost, to a customer..
@@themobster7284 About 800-850$ VGA probably worth to pay 150-250$ to save it. It's not a 10$ GPU like my 8800GTS... :D

I think the owner just thought putting more thermal paste or pads would do the trick but the problem is worse than it is.
@@silenthero2795 what about the missing screws and thermal pads?
@@dano5238 To replace those pads and paste, you need to remove those screws. But as amateur DIY's, they tend to misplace screws a lot.
@@silenthero2795 more people need to know the wonders of magnetic trays. Cheap and handy
GPUS, NOT GPU'S. There is no plural apostrophe in English grammar!
Besides that, you are right. :-)
You make such wonderful videos that it even tempts me to try do it myself xD
I think he would be a great teacher too
amazing job as always
This guy right here is the REAL DEAL.
I had no idea you could sink the board like a submarine. I would never have done that. Great video Sir!
Just amazing
Amazing do u have to set those lil ball on core by hand?
Thanks for sharing the process! Which model Ultrasonic cleaner are you using?
Wow, very high quality content now also has high quality video production! I mean, you even got da Rock to feature! Here's your like.
always love ur videos.. therapeutic to watch.. but how much does it cost for a repair like this? is it worth it or just buy new gpu?
wow good work
you definitely earned a like, love the Papa Frank reference
Whats papa frank reference ?
I am clueless.
He means filthy frank, the guy you used in the intro, aka papa franku
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY GUY
That's why ultrasonic bath is a good investment
I use Branson's electronic ultrasonic solution. Have used it for years and love it. It is a little bit pricey but could be worse.
Oooo.. new gadgets you have 🧐 Good video, thanx again!
deym so nice to have the 3090 back in the grind

Tony, why don't you use rosin flux? As like a diluted rosin solution for example?
Did you just waterboard that gpu under the sink I didn't think that was possible 😂
Never heard of using odorless kerosene for cleaning, but it makes sense. Pretty cool
Nice Work!

LTT tested the ribbon risers on their channel. Degradation occurred only after daisy chaining several together surprisingly enough.
Interesting.
Maybe these USB cables that come with risers are dirt cheap slowing the data rate to a crawl.
the part you washing it under the kitchen tap was really scary (for long term) unless you have some magic filter and you really trust it

Yes, the length of riser cables affects performance.
