That was my 2080Ti and I'm more than satisfied by Tonys pricing and charging practices. So he is correct I am sending him another GPU to repair(Probably 2) and will continue to do so in the future. He really is the best I have found so far at repairing the worst GPU issues out there. So everyone remember that Quality doesn't come cheap! Thanks Tony!
Even though I have not a clue about electronic repairs, I still find these videos interesting. My take aways are that gravity is a b***h, this guy has great taste in precision screwdrivers, and seems to be very good at his craft. Just curios if you have ever tried repairing any driver boards for manufacturing robots such as Fanuc or Sepro? A few companies I worked for would always send out bad ones for attempted repair due to the astronomical cost of replacements,
That is probably a venture that Tony should explore, it sounds pretty lucrative. So do you have any contacts that he could use or should he just send emails to companies that use those robots in order to try to get their attention?
I can explain what happened with the shunt mod. Nvidia has been cracking down on people shunt modding their GPU, so they improved the power monitoring strategies on the card. Long story short (no pun intended), if the card detects unusually low power draw values when powering on (due to a very low shunt resistance) , it will lock itself down to a low GPU clock speed. If it reads a power draw imbalance between the PCI-E power connectors, it will lock itself down. If the power draw from the power connectors is unusually low compared to the power draw from the PCI-E slot, it will lock itself down. The only ways to successfully trick the card is to either use a resistor with a high resistance to get a small power budget increase without tripping the protection, or you trick all the sensors using adjustable resistors placed in specific locations on the board. But if you can figure out the latter, you probably wouldn't send your GPU for repair.
That is pretty severe damage to be fair though , cracked PCBs are difficult to fix , and even if they are fixed there's no guarantee it will hold up. Even if it's a 4090.
FYI, he never fixed any of those 14 4090 on video I suspect he fixed none.. Tony we are looking forward for you to fix that Suprim 4090 on video uncut!!!
Not happening. that MSI crack was too big and it wasnt even the crack that scared me, it was whats under the core. I had an asus looking very similar but only half as bad. There was so much more damage under the core, it had to be scrapped. So i told the owner to sell it for parts and get some money out of it. Otherwise, if i open up that hole, no one will buy it for parts thinking the core is dead but as far as i know, core should still be alive and its a good donor card.
Nah I think he had like 2 that had power issues. The rest deemed no fix. Alex doesn't get into reballing. He lives in Cali, gotta pay dem taxes. I understand why he runs that way. I really enjoy watching your methods. Simple logical and no super expensive tools but high high quality repairs. What kind of preheater is that? So many. I just want to buy once. I need one
I think 14 of those 19 GPUs NorthridgeFix got had cracked PCBs, which means there's no point in fixing them, because as soon as you put it back in the motherboard, gravity will rip that fix off. They could be useful for spare parts for you, though, since you bother removing and reballing cores. That's a lot of probably good cores and memory chips to spare.
i do work on electronics, im also a mechanic, to which, diag on a vehicle will be charged. 20 to come period. 50 to diag. but my repair prices for said vehicles are cheaper than anyone else around. either way, you have to charge for your work. Even if you couldnt solve the entire problem outright!
The 2080TI power monitoring has nothing to do with the GPU.. It's probably something to do with the power monitoring ICs you can actually remove them completely and you will have no current limiting and the card will run at max clock given you have sufficient vcore voltage..
So I got a Zotac Amp Extreme 2080Ti and I shunt modded it back in 2019 when I got it. It’s been running full tilt probably for the better part of 2020 and 2021 at over 400w..mining. Core and memory clocked as high possible, HOWEVER this is with a custom water cooling loop. The 20-series also had this annoying safety feature where if one shunt modded with a shunt with a too low resistance, like a 5mOhm the card goes into safe mode and bypasses the “erroneously” reporting shunts while limiting the clocks to its lowest, 300Mhz. Which is why I used 8mOhms as opposed to the 5 I initially planned on using to make the power calculation post mod easier..🥴 Which I suspect coulda happened to this one..that it went into safe mode that is due to the card sensing a too low resistance on the shunts. ✌️🖖
You wrote wrong, It's a 3080ti which performs like a 2080ti infact the heatsink Is from an rtx 3000 and the wattage in furmark After the fix Is around 350w which Is not a 2080ti tdp
It is winter, short(s) must gone! 12:00 😂. That burning cap cannot warm us. That Suprim has heart bleed on that wound. Too many stitches will be needed. Will it hold?
You should ask the owners of any GPU that has cracks came from a prebuilt. Ill bet you most cracked gpu's break the PCB because of shipping the GPU in the system during shipping. My strix oc 4090 bought brand new came in perfect condition. Pushing up or letting the GPU does not put enough stress on the pcb to crack it.
If you disable the memory training in the efi, the boot should work much faster, then before. But, this could potentially lead to wrong results, if you try to test the graphics card. I'm pretty sure, it won't happen, but it could be possible. Also using less memory should speed up the boot, because it has to train less.
Not disabled memory training, but you want to turn on fast boot in the bios, that's the option that skips a lot of the memory training after it's First memory training.
@@Apollo-Computers Don't work, if you unplug your PSU, which he does regularly. Also fastboot doesn't skip anything related to memory training, it skips the hardware initialization, if you are in hybernation or shutdown your computer, not to be mixed with reboot, which does initialize the hardware.
@@Apollo-Computers Sry to say, but I'm working as an IT specialist for system integration and I've the same problem, because I power off my power strip, nearly ever day. Also, I manage some hundred of servers, which also does the same, but their training for memory can take some minutes, not seconds. 2TB of memory can take a long time and fastboot doesn't cut a second of it. Servers reports exactly in which states they're, so I've seen "training memory" for hours in my life. If I disable memory training, which is important for error correction (EEC), then it boots up very fast, if not dozens of PCIe cards are plugged in/not disabled as a boot device. Edit: Maybe some consumer EFIs disable memory training, if fastboot is enabled, but fastboot is made to not initialize all the hardware, on each warm boot. Cold boot (unplug PSU or reboot), won't be really affected by fastboot, only a little bit.
I am kinda planning to do a shunt mod on my 3070 sometime, and it is not really about shunt mod itself, it is how much you shunt mod. My card has a locked power limit, and if you were to mod it for 5-10% extra power it should be fine. but if you mod it to gain 50% or whatever you will fry it for sure.
i recently bought an RTX3070 with a big hole in the card next to the VRMs and missing 3 VRMs, it worked partially found out there was a wire just over the current shunt resistors, it might be why it blew a hole in it the first place but i bought it only for 40 euro so gonna use it as spares
Interesting video having Mr Wizard trying to convince us that he's a human being too, hehehe. It was nice seeing you Tony facing the camera and speaking to us. But you really should lose the PIP hat, it doesn't look good on you 😅.
just for you to know if some day you get an RX 6600xt or 5500xt or any mech model from MSI those mostly have a drama with the memory chips because msi was so chip that didn't put pads with enough height to cool them
wait did my guy forget a thermal pad on the memory or was it on the cooler? great video man! just out of curiosity,, do you bin memory? like would that be a service you could do where one can send in a gpu and you put in the great overclocking memory chips on the board? i feel you could make a killer doing that type of service just i imagine it would be hard to do such a thing
Alright alright, I won't shunt mod my GPU. What do you suggest for increasing the max power limit of the safely then? And yes I know for sure the system can at least have 20W more.
Hey a bit of a far fetched question but might aswell ask. I have a 2080 gigabyte and on mods and mats I have 33 errors, all the videos I see they have millions of errors I only have 33 why? Gpu crashes when playing any game, but I found a fix if I put memory clock -400 it works fine. Any idea what it can be. I think it has Micron memory. Thanks Tony
This could also happen if you flash the GPU with the wrong bios Right??🤔 I turned my 3070 to a 3070 ti and it got HOOOT😅 THIS card you had there seemed to be coold.

i have the eagle model of the 4070 ti, been very very good card. runs SUPER cool. but - just wish I had waited a year and gotten 16gb ram and a bigger bus, for the SAME PRICE. that was a real dick move by nvidia.
Hi , i dont think the card is repairable ...with that crack ..it almost like snapping into 2 pieces.. no way the traces can be fix ... perhaps you should review it before you waste time ..with that ..
its not a typical 3080ti score,its low because the core is always under 1800-1700.The core and hotspot temps are too high,the memory temps are too low.WRONG MEMORY PADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you do a shunt mod, the sensors do monitor the half of the power draw but in real time the card is pulling more. For those who didn’t know.
