What I learned today is if your gpu is working fine, leave it alone. If you want to practice fixing gpus, buy or find dead ones to practice on.
I leaned that if my GPU dies, I have to add a zero ohm resistor somewhere.
@@coc1841 I also think this is the lesson to learn from this video
I opened my brand new card cuz the thermal paste they put is dogshit. I always gonna start opening my cards and applying ptm7950 because it performs drastically better, has more lifetime, doesn't experience pump out like normal thermal paste but most importantly the temps are significantly better.
Impressive how you got this card back to life! That custom cooler solution is actually developed by me. You're probably right in advising people not to such solutions from your point of view. But I do want to point out that what you mentioned about over-tightening the screws is impossible because the screws are 'shoulder' screws, blocking themselves at the exact required point. This is actually used in most gpu coolers and isn't any different from the original cooler. The 'posts' you mention are just replaced by longer shoulders.
@n3rdware You should consider using posts. Shouldered screws can be lost, and replacements can be inaccurate.
@@drewnewby Posts require shoulder screws just as well, you can see them after they are unscrewed at 1:20. My screws are almost identical to the original ones, just with a longer shoulder.
@n3rdware That's the point, if you use posts, the original spec screws can be used, instead of longer shouldered screws. Replacement coolers should use the same design if at all possible. I assume the cost of the replacement cooler more than covers the manufacturing cost of including posts. Sounds like a cost save on your end.
@@drewnewby That's a whole lot of assumptions in just a few sentences. It's actually simple: I prefer not being dependent on third party hardware that I cannot replace myself if required. If my screws are lost, I can replace them. If your original screw is lost, I can't, and Nvidia probably won't.
@n3rdware That's fine if you're milling / printing your own solution, but you're selling these. Everyone replacing the stock cooler has the original shouldered screws as spare, if you use posts, instead of what you've sourced. It's no assumption, and common for boutique kit like this to deviate from spec for all the reasons I've mentioned.
its so weird how i watch these videos and have no idea whats going on.
One day we will understand and then we'll find out how ahead he was at the time
I used to think the same but NWR's videos motivated me to start working on graphics cards myself. I am doing it for one year now and fixed more than 50 cards. I still dont know everything, but these videos + the r/GPUrepair subreddit are great sources for information.
This is way over my head, but I love watching anyway. It's really fascinating.
Me too and love the narration
Fixing a card missing a component, without any schematics just by making educated guesses ....
Seriously who else could have done it?

Any well educated electrical engineer and passionate peeople like nwr

My self, Been there done that. Sometimes just being in the Ballpark of a resistance, capacitance or Freq Will get the job done, Really depends on the circuit & what that components roll is.
anyone ;)
I know exactly what video the owner watched 💀 to try this mod lmao
What video?
snd link
Elaborate?
Either the one cbutters tech or Not From Concentrate made 😂😂😂
😶
You can go lower than zero by using TWO zero ohm resistors in parallel.
Got ya.
Yo are joking...😂 I mean there is no positive resistance less than 0 .it only increase the wattage nothing else..MATHEMATICALLY ALSO
@northwestrepair What 4090s have the highest quality PCBs? If I'm water cooling, does it matter since it will be sandwiched in a block?
Trying to make a dual 4090 AI server and need to minimize the size of them. Thinking of founders edition since it's a small PCB, not sure if it can be overclocked the same though?
Negative infinity superconductor. Prove me wrong.
@@OversampleReality Instructions unclear, I created a black hole.
@@Retro-Iron11 NooooOOOOooOOOoOOOO!!!!!!
Excellent work Tony.. nicely done. These cards are utilised mostly in DELL/ Lenovo micro workstations/ servers.
Scrolling through all your videos while waiting for a new one and being sad knowing ive seen most of them
One of my dream cards for small form factor build. Good job. Performance is around the same as a 3060 i believe. Looking at the temps, it doesn't seem to even need that custom cooler.
I followed a video hinted by someone else in the comments, and apparently the custom cooler is made to reduce the footprint of the card since its stock heatsink causes it to occupy two PCI slots. People who buy this custom cooler are apparently using it to make ultra compact PC setups, and reducing it to occupy just a single PCI slot is the goal.
By far the best fix!!!! ~_~ Can't wait to send you my first Evga RMA! lol Keep it on!
That little card has 20 GB of RAM?! Fancy!
vram is actually quite cheap these days, and the chips quite small, so they can totally do it but video card companies love artificial scarcity and product segmentation.
easier to get people to replace their perfectly good hardware if the next gen version has 2gb extra.
Nvidia doing more then 12 gb of vram on a gpu thats not for servers is rare and i say that because ppl use those for gaming even tho those are work cards for high end workloads
💀
It has 20 GB of RAM , and without using any external power connectors. If you look at the PCB, there are 2 empty slots for 2 memory chips, potentially creating a 24GB VRAM card at this form factor.
Got another fan and thank you so much for sharing your google drive.
I love a happy ending... awesome
Excellent repair! I wish the A2000 cards had a protective backplate like this RTX 4000 has.
This is great!
Very nice repair! Now you also guess components! :)
Nice job!
Nice Work 👍 Hello from Wisconistan 🏴☠️
Whole video i am thinking there must be a formula for figuring out the correct resistor value as we know the voltage on one end, but probably that formula will have to include something from the controller side which we dont know of. Good video
You're absolutely right. Practical troubleshooting, especially with complex electronics like GPUs, often involves more than just applying formulas. Real-world circuits can have nuances and interactions that aren't immediately apparent or easily captured by theoretical calculations.
@@raiko3412 Yeah would have been easier if there was a public datasheet for this chip (there isnt)
Some other cards use that GS7222 controller also, you could have checked your donor board pile for those.
Good work 👍👍
That controller is also on a MSI GTX 1660 gaming x its a 2 phase memory vrm controller
Great video 🫡
@tony - What 4090s have the highest quality PCBs? If I'm water cooling, does it matter since it will be sandwiched in a block?

Go lower resistance with a tunnel diode.
Glad it wasnt deemed "no-fix.... hope you guys have learned something today, and I see ya in the next video" 😩
There's a video about the cooling solution using pure copper fin for this card on CZcams
I wish those cards were cheap. I like their compact size and low power requirement.
same here. the 4060LP is the closest we'll get without being rich.
LP is the future or with low TDP
Same
They do sometimes come up for a good price, befriend people in IT. For a while I had a steady flow of current gen (at the time) Quadro RTX cards coming from an IT dept that upgraded every workstation they bought.
ebay and new price is insane though. Nvidia missed a trick by not making a similar Geforce branded card.
Great video, tnx for sharing. But what about the plastic strip on top and bottom? Is it supposed to be there? 🤔😀
I love how he cared enough about temps to get a custum cooler but didnt remove the film that cones with the original one😂
excellent as usual
What was he looking for when replacing the resistors? Why would he knows what number to look for?
from the voltage
cool
Could use a multi-turn preset/potentiometer next time
Id love one of these tiny gpus but their prices are quite expensive.
I once burnt my whole RGB strips and fans by some cheap rgb fans and controllers from aliexpress, but it was user error, it had those molex connectors, and shorted the 5V rail with the 12V rail, so 12V on 5V LED is a big no. I still have the AIO pump, but it doesn't have lights QwQ
Tony, can you please tell me where to find the script you're using to test AMD mem modules? I tried searching for "gigabyte ati diag" and so on, but no luck.
Watching your videos, I pretty much figured out HOW to use it, it's just that I don't know where to find it :/
Hello Internet
My first bet was 820R. I fail miserable
Do you have any recommendations for GPUs that are easy to fix and cheap with good performance for mid-low range games? Can I have an A2000 GPU?
Just buy a mid end gpu like 4060
@@ariewijaya1679 "mid end" LOL
A used 30 series Nvidia card or 60 series AMD card would be my suggestion
I don't understand these cooling mods people do such as the copper mod or deshrouding to install a Noctua fan. RTX cards have great cooling from the factory. I understand the folks flashing a higher power vbios though.
Miss the background music.
What tool do you use to reduce the thickness of the thermalpads?
I was wondering since I had this problem (which was fixed by the company). Did you ever get a repair of a RTX4080 which does fine at pretty much every benchmark but would get driver crashes on like 50% of games? I'm still wondering what that problem with my card was. I had to send it in 2 times and the card took 1 month each time to come back to me. (Gainward RTX4080 Phantom). Love the videos btw!
👍👌👍
better than factory
cant u just transfer those standoffs from the original cooler to the new custom cooler so then u wouldn't tighten the screws too much ?
Did you leave the plastic film on? 19:57
yeah
Quadros after they removed the Quadro name are so confusing. I can never remember if this is newer, better or completely different to the RTX A4000... or the RTX 4000 Ada Generation. Maybe it is that last one, I can't remember. I could look it up but ehhh. Of course none of these are to be confused with Quadro RTX 4000 which was a Turing card.
Nvidia need to bring Quadro back either way and give the cards proper model numbers.
Do you only fix gpu?
Sorin would have guessed it first time.
He would've put a proper calibrated wire :)
Which GPU Brand should i Go for...?? 😢 (We don't have good repair engineers in India 😅 😭)
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
How much the price of cheapest car in U.S (new)? I want compare with $2k gpu 😅
About 17k for a nissan versa i believe
2024 Nissan Versa - $16,390 starting price... Load that car up with 8 of these babies! Double your whatevers!
17k starting price>
25K out the door LOL
@@northwestrepair plus 15% financing and 3 extra dealership "packages/warranty"
:p
Wew almost 7%~10% car prices 😅🫨 for "just 1 4090 gpu" and some ppl has 4090 x2 in their rig 😅
you need to update your nvidia driver :)
Comment
only one resistor broke off, if many had broken off, you are screwed.
has it ever happened to see in your dream like u are fixing gpus or something
Custom cooler on something this small, isn't a sensible option.
no pad on one of the memory chips when you opened. on each side, on the heatsink as well as on the backplate. I own this card and there are 6 memory chips on gpu side and 6 on backplate side.
It is quite clearly visible that there are 5 memory chips on each side of the PCB on this particular card. Also, GPU-Z reads 20GB/20480MB of memory as well (that is 10 x 2 GB chips - five on each side).
I don't understand the point of that mod to begin with it. I could understand maybe modding it for an axial fan or a passive cooler but another blower from China is utterly baffling.
If I had to guess, it's to make it a 1-slot card for some SFF build.
It's because SFF'ers are obsessed with trying to fit everything into a sardine tin for bragging rights, not even remotely logical at this point.
People are really strange : What's the use to put a custom cooler on a pro card like this ?
i would reball the gpu just in case 😂😂
Spoil us with a GT 1030 repair
tetris on high or low resolution?
Medium
Another replacing of superior thermal putty with thermal pads.
RTX 4000 ?!?!?!?!?!
RTX 4000? Is that a thing?
yes
its so small, lol
Nvidia charging a premium for a video out GPU that should have been called the 4030. Yay I guess.
Hi! I have a dead cheap gpu, I'd like to send it in for content and give away if it can be fixed
this is a no fix
Man you where so lucky to not blow this up. This resistor was setting the voltage feedback.. and you could have just set it to 5V by accident without knowing the value-range beforehand. I would have started with a much larger resistance as one already knows, that infinite resistance does not lead to damage. Maybe start 1M, 100K, 10K..
Not for nothing but that's an RTX 2000 not a 4000
GPU-Z at 19:01 thinks otherwise.
when i fixing some gpu i don't have pop ups in my eyes what is whatpex,dex,fed ex,where i can turn on that optionor may i have old firmware in ma brrrain

@@FFox98 I don't know about Ghettiquette but I enjoy guessing stuff like this based upon sound of a speaker's voice. If I had to guess I'd say Finnish or Norwegian.
