Thank you for the hard work Alex, I'm honored my card was featured on your channel. I enjoy watching it so much. Please feel free to keep it and use its components to help save others!
God bless you and your donor card
what a nice guy!
fair play bro
what did your son do to the gpu? anyways, you are a nice guy for donating the board
Wonderful, this is truly CZcams at its finest; courtesy of Alex, his family and his supporters; thank you! 🍾❤️
Hey Alex, This is my buddy's card, we were all looking forward to you working on it and just watching you going the extra mile really meant a lot to us even though it was unfortunately a core, Thank you!
Can't wait until it fails again
Well, you gave it your best shot, not all equipment is financially reparable. Thanks for the video Alex.
damnit, most liked comment on top and I now know he wont fix it :D

Ooohkaaaa
I'm only surprised that you didn't call it in part 1, it was pretty obviously a damaged core, but I'll give you kudos for not giving up and going the extra mile. Any repair shop that goes above and beyond should be celebrated.
Having spent so much money on a previous generation top product and having it gone suddenly. I sympathise with the owner.
I was hoping part II would have some joy and we'd get to see that radiant Alex smile. You gave your best.
You are a master technician its a pleasure to watch you work.
I dont know nothing about electronics. I just watch videos of north thinking I would have resurrected my 2070. Rip 2070.🤣
Sometimes you have to know when to let go. You could keep troubleshooting until you've replaced every component on the board, and I can agree that that is not financially viable as a business model since it'd cost just as much to buy a new one. Thanks for taking us on this journey.
😂 The short you did with your little girl filming you !! That laugh!! Warms the heart. Mine's 18 now I sure do miss that innocent joy. Superb !
I'm from morocco, and i like the way you diagnose and finding the errors, you're the master you're a real hero of electronics
Alex!! Thank you very much for showing the multimeter!!! I really appreciateit!! It was amazing when you splitted the screen in 2 Thank You!!
"We" didn't do anything. You did a great job! Still amazed at your microsurgery skills.
Replace the core, I think that would make a very interesting video. Can’t say I’ve seen it done before. Keen to see this subscribers board get fixed 🤞 BW 🏴
It needs specialized equipment and the chip will be difficult to get. You sometimes see this kind of work being done on some Asian repair channels.
Shame it turned out to be the core but good to see the fault finding 👍👍
I think we learn a ton more on the No Fixes. Thanks Alex for sharing your knowledge.
a NO FIX…. I feel like Ive been watching for 2x years and haven’t seen you NOT whip up some miracles…
Even if it wasn't worth it economically, I always learn something from your videos.
Its always amazing to see this stuff, maybe ill learn something someday.
Im so worried about buying a newer video card because having a failure after spending 1000$ speaks of crappy manufacturing processes. Thank you for the videos and the issues with these video cards.
You ever heard of warranty? Gigabyte has 5 yrs warranty!
Don't mess/tamper/oc with the card and you won't have any issues with warranty!
Im willing to bet the owner of this card used a 500w-800w bios or something on this 350w card
The failure rate is shockingly low for CPU/GPU's. You'll be fine.
@@Neosin1Back when the RTX2080Ti came out, payed 1300euro, plugged it into my PC, flashed bios from another brand/card within 5minutes to get +450W power draw and OC'ed it to the max. YOLO :D
@@Neosin1 They must have updated their GPU warranty, it's 3 years but "Regional differences may apply. Please contact the location where the original order was placed." does their extended warranty max at 5 yrs?
@@WKaznartist Yes it's 4 yrs now in aus, but still plenty
Ive had over 100 gfx cards in my life and not 1 has failed, why? Because I don't abuse my cards with heat/increased power limits and make sure they run cool all the time
Awesome. thanks for followup on this repair.. cheers.
Of course you can save it. A man of your status and stature leaves no doubts.
You would think the whole purpose of the fuse the blew would be to prevent the GPU from taking a lethal voltage hit.
Fuses do not primarily protect against overvoltage but against high current. In this case, the high voltage has for a short time caused sufficiently high current to trip the fuse but not fast enough to protect the CPU
The fuse actually worked in this case, it prevented the dead power stage from pulling tons of current and blowing up, causing PCB damage. What NRF doesn't know is that 3-4 ohms on pex is typical for this card, and if he would have just looked at the circuitry a bit more this likely could have been fixable in 20 minutes or so. Unfortunate to see this card be put aside for parts when it's completely fixable :/
@@WasatchElectronics Would you be as kind as to explain what kind of troubleshooting steps you would take after taking a look at the circuitry or what could possibly be the problem. I just wanna know because I'm really interested in knowing how this kind of problem could be fixed. Thanks for your time.
How about the caps on the core side of the line? Sometimes they go leak, not shorted but leak... Its a very small posibility but... It is posible.
You did the best with viewers eyes are peeled hoping that we may see the light at the end, but alas, life doesn't work always the way we wanted it to be.
Sad to see that 3090 go. I have an evga one as well, hopefully it doesn't suffer such a fate...
I have a gut feeling that this card didn't get clean power delivery. A solid PSU will have the odds stacked on your side.
Thank You- electronics soldering yes Flux- I like how you cover it- like you said on the 4090 connection connector flush isnkey pins connections
This is very educative video. Thank you.
Learn't a great deal, very professional
EVGA is the best in the business in RMA and standing by their product and getting a refurbished sometimes new product exchange. He should try and going that route.
ABSOLUTLY!!
Perhaps inject voltage on core rail see if anything is hot over there.
Very good job 👏 👍 👌
Always like for your videos and you deserve that 1000 per cent
Damn good job finding that vcore is toast 😳
اشكرك على الشغل ❤
thanks
Skills like that you must be The Zohan 😮 yep i am now convinced after watching for 2 years that you are definitely The Zohan 😊
I recently bought two cards that turns out to have dead cores. It's just saddens me to see unfixable cards.
amd im still high from yesterday watching thank you
no part 3?? im so excited
Good hard work Alex, you can't fix them all ! I guess computer components are like the car junk yard . Most cars in a junk yard are deemed a no fix! Mainly because of damage !
In the first video you said according to the owner it was liquid cooled
I think he overlooked it and destroyed the card
It's an EVGA hybrid card, the 30 series cards don't allow you to overclock them and kill them, they either go thermally limited, power limited or core limit. Unless you attach an external voltage controller, you do not have any voltage control on the card. This means that it doesn't matter what overclock you apply in software, it will only go as fast as its able to go, or it will be unstable. It will not burn up.
Hi Alex, I would like to thank you for the videos. It taught me a lot about repairing. I recently bought heat air station but i'm struggling to understand which nozzle to use for what application. Which temperature and how much air flow should i use for mobile and gpu boards. Could you make a video explaining this again? I watched a video that was 3 years back and wanted to look at your gears once more updated.
Unfortunate that the core was the issue,Really makes you wonder if it was the other components failing that led to its death or the core was just a defect from the start and had a slow incoming death anyway,Guess well never know,As always great troubleshooting its nice to be along for the ride.
Well we know for sure EVGA 3090s have issues because New world was killing them on release.
@@RowanHD15 I remember that,Crazy that a game could cause the death of a GPU..I have a 3070Ti so not sure if the New World affected those also but gladly i didn't play that game.
It's not only EVGA 3090s. Other AIB also face the same issue with their 3090. Nvidia underspec the reference RTX 3090 VRM requirements for AIB to follow. You don't hear 3090Ti having these mess because those cards have significantly buffed up their VRM.
You sir are a professional. You got a new sub. Please do not sellout to big corporations like nvidia. Truth is all that matters at the end of the day!
The card was liquid cooled and apparently overclocked to its death.
That's the most likely cause. People intentionally destroy their hardware for very few extra fps, I don't get it. The 3090 is a very capable card you'll have absolutely no need for overclocking!
few years back, perhaps. now the overclocking is focused on downvolting rather then overvolting. hardware is already overclocked from manufacturer, reducing the amount of heat (either with lover voltage or better coling solution) the gpu or the cpu will stay in boosted range longer and at higher frequency. only few goes for overvolting as it's less effective
What suggests that?
Looks like the mosfet gave up as they often do and fried the core. Plenty of completely stock, non-overclocked cards have these mosfets blow.
Northridge fix when will your selection for hot tweezers come out I really need a pair now but waiting on your advice
Cant register in the forums, so ill ask here, what can mean that a motherboard standby LEDs dont work as they should when a processor is installed? if i hook a PSU to my motherboard without anything besides the PSU installed on it Stanby LEDs will turn on and remain on, but if i install a processor in it, Standby LEDs will flash on and off once and remain off, only way for them to turn on with processor installed is if a try to turn on the motherboad which in this case it wont post. Cant figure out whether the motherboard or the processor. is bad.
Talk about going above and beyond...
Having seen the process that EVGA uses to swap and replace the GPU , it's not feasible for a normal ordinary shop to have that level of equipment on hand for a once in awhile job.
Be nice to see a thermal camera on the board.
Just to see it the CPU is hot.
are you capable of replacing the gpu? could you not do it once for the content?
Video cards should not fail, ever. Especially cards like this one that cost over $1,000. There are millions of video cards in landfills worldwide that still work. The only component on that card that has any excuse for failing is a fan after 10-15 years. It's shocking what people tolerate.
how the hell did you apply solder to the smd pads for the chip replacement without soldering the pads together. I have not done soldering before but it looks really skill intensive and I'm amazed you could do it that fast and that well. amazing. you have really sick skills man
You are a schoul !!! broth i feel proud of you ❤❤❤
Solder does not stick on my soldering-iron-tip. I have tried using flux as well. Any tips on that?
Good job
I want watch you replacing one GPU core. This will be very intresting!
So on something like this since you can't repair it. Can the owner of the board give or sell it to you for parts?
I was waiting already 😊
Yeah me too! Greetings from Germany. Very good videos Alex!
Are you just adding leaded solder to existing then mixing old with new under controller chip?
Yes. Lowers the temp this way. Doesn't effect the quality.
Would you make a video if you change the core
Sir which multimeter are you use?
Can a on-board (built-in) cpu of laptop be replaced ?
What multimeter do you use?
Thermal pad sizes for evga rtx 3080 10Gb ftw3? I need to replace all the thermal pads in that gpu and been searching all over the internet for this question. Could never find a definite answer.
The gpu does not overheat when plugging it in to test without a heatsink on it?
Not if it's only powered for a few seconds.
U r amazing
Love from Pakistan
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If the GPU core is bad, l wonder if you can fix the video card by reballing the core?
If the chip received a lethal voltage spike it's likely internal damage.
Hope u did buy it for parts
hy I have one question about the same card if you can help me with fans
👌👌👍👍
But it is possible to replace the core of another graphics card whose core is supposedly good, I also don't think it can be done with a heat gun, a reballing station would be needed for that task.
Why don't you use an optical microscope? I got my trinocular today and the difference between the digital amscopes is worlds apart
He made a video about this
Ekranda multimetreyi görsek nasıl olur? Sadece sözle söylüyorsunuz ama İngilizce bilmeyenler için büyük sorun ve işlevsiz oluyor. Ekran içinde ekran ile multimetre ekranını da görsek o zaman daha faydalı olurdu.
Şu an için bu video benim için pek bir şey ifade etmiyor.
Dam i need help with this 1080Ti that i have my EXWife put water in it and i was going to get a new one but at the moment that's not possible for me for i am going to a nasty divorce and its costing alot to do so. I am just looking for cheaper fix for the card so that i can at lest spend the time i do have being able to play video games with my friends that do not live in town any more really enjoy staying connected to them. Thank you if you can help
another one bites the dust rip 3090
Owner of big 3090/4090 gpu use PC mid cases with bad airflow, fans case install incorrect, and make PC case a Oven!🔥
I am surprised with all that solder under the chip ooozing out, there isn't shorts under the chip between pins
I just feel extremely lucky I never ever had a GPU dying on me.
dang....
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
@alex can you do a video replacing the core just to do a video and show us it's possible? Imagine the people that would watch that video
rip evga :(
Man wish u guys were in the UK need my gaming hard drive fixed 😅
so it over volted the GPU chip? just bad luck, or ?
Sent 12v to something that didn't want 12v.
Buildzoid often says that whilst fuses are nice for troubleshooting purposes, they don't usually blow fast enough to stop the core being fed 12V in the event of a catastrophic failure. Probably what happened here.
First video it was mentioned the card was liquid cooled. Might've overclocked it too high
🙏👏👏👏🙏
Haven’t bought anything other than cheap GPUs because my demands are meager, usually playing older games if any. Then my question is - is it difficult to claim the warranty on GPUs that breaks or will they simply just turn the customer down by blaming poor cooling, overclocking or poor installing of the card?
If so, then people should really rethink the need to buy the more expensive GPUs until there is more assurance that the warranty is honored.
While you had the PEX coil removed you could have induced 1V at the pad to the gpu and verify the dead core with a thermal camera. Maybe one of the caps has shorted out and not the core?
Hi
Prima di dire che è il processore difettoso avrei iniettato 1v per vedere se non è qualche condensatore ceramico o elettrolitico in corto circuito
RIP 3090!
Just buy a new NVidia 5090 Ultra! 😅😅😅😅😅😅
cant even reball a chip...run
broski probably fried his 3090 with a crappy psu. Dont cheap out on PSUs yall
That's one hell of a leap.
@@michaelgleason4791 sadly it isn't, crappy PSU can let this happen without tripping its protections
crappy PSU's also allow for excessive coil whine by not filtering noise coming into PSU via wall outlet and that noise is caused by things like microwaves,washing machines etc.
so don't cheap out on a PSU just because in your head it just delivers power
Not always the case unfortunately
I don't think he use crap PSU
A few months ago, my Seasonic PSU blew a MOSFET. It popped loudly, blew the main fuse of the PSU, and also tripped a 16A @ 240V fuse in my apartment's fuse box. I thought it fried my components, but thankfully all of them were fine. Could it have damaged them if it was some other PSU?
Its funny that my cheap chinese knock off 1080 ti is still kicking after 6 years to this day. I also overlocked it always when gaming and pulling almost 300 watts and still fine, whats happening with this latest gen cards, lmao
:o)❤
methodical and chased all the routes for a fix,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, alas not this time ,,,,,,,,,,, keep safe
Replacing the core makes no sense just buy a new gpu at that point
