Ah yes the E-power card, it's like a mechanical ventilator and dialysis machine for gpu's.
it's a full-body replacement, as it provides also food/power
It's more like an hearth-lungs machine to be honest
G'day Buildzoid,
A long time ago, in a GPU Market Far, Far Away...
Episode I: The (Exploding) PCB Menace
Episode IV: A New (E-Power) Hope
Episode V: Buildzoid Strikes Back
Episode VI: Return of the GTX1080
Episode VII: The (LN2) Force Awakens
Everyone who takes time to read please feel free to join in with more Episodes or even rename these ones😁
Episode ? : Attack of The Bodge
Look who finally got a JBC, good for you and us.
Yea def you get much better results with better tools. Impressive work
Liberally a microscope, blacklight, hobby knife, and uv solder mask will clear any pcb short, now it is very time consuming but it will work.
That cooler's a slightly beefed up version of the two ThermalRight's I have (GT03s something, something IIRC), mine only have 6 heatpipes, but they were pretty good.
However, I'd like to thank BZ for mentioning the Raijintek Morpheus II in a video sometime ago. I picked one up a few days ago for my R9 290X and it's great, finally have silenced the card at idle and quiet under full load (until I can afford a couple more Noctura fans so it'll be very quiet under full load).
After-market GPU coolers are too rare these days!
Takk!
we need bz necromancer merch
The EVGA 1080 BZ FrankenVRM Edition ;) great content
Man I live for this Frankenstein Bulls**t, lol it's awesome.
Buildzoid doing the right thing in October: GPU necromancy!
Lol that as daily driver. I have EVGA GTX 1070 FTW as a project that has a hole like that in Vcore VRM...
once I'm done benching it I want to make it "dailiable".
Very clean!
👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼 - I wonder how far away we are from a retail Buildzoid GPU from an AIB Partner? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Buildzoid and I ARE best friends :)
How does, having a jumper to the core affect the Control loop of the controller. In my experience messing around MPS voltage regulators which have multiple 100s of KHz or even MHz switching frequency the control loop is greatly accepted by the power plane impedance, Out capacitance and Minimum load ratio. Which JBC did you get and which station did you use before? Was it a direct drive one?
IDK how the control loop is affected all I go by is the voltage measurements from the oscilloscope. The power bridge did introduce some kind of weirdness to the Vcore at low loads but at full load it just shifted the whole waveform up. RMS went from 1.04V to 1.07V and the minimums and maximus increased by the same amount so the peak to peak didn't change. For that matter even the low load peak to peak stayed the same the waveform just looks a little different.
As for the JBC I got a JBC CD-2BF with a T245 handpiece. Before I'd use a 150W ERSA soldering iron that's really more meant for soldering copper pipe than it is for electronics.
Perfect content for my lunch XD
Pretty sick & nice scores on air!
My old 1070ti minis VRM blew up. First time I've seen smoke come out from my PC.
Holy 💩, this is the first real Frankenstein card that I've ever seen, 😲🤣🤣🤣
Could you desolder components from the 1080's vrm to help the e-power lay more flat? Don't need those onboard 8 pin pcies anymore.
Well yes, but thats effort
Wish I had you for an Electronic Engineer Lab Partner when I was in College and University ;o)
Oh, what a ... )) For new VRM you must take Vcore from pin on old VRM controller, it's call like Vgpu_sense, and put to same pin on new VRM controller. This line goes direct from GPU crystal, so it will minimize voltage droop. And there same pin for GPU_GND. So, with this you don't need so much wire :)
i look forward to seeing what it can do on LN2
This will motivate me to get an old 980 working for the kid
This is not Necromancy, this is Frankenseinsm.
Speaking of necromancy, i'm thinking of -pirating- buying ULTRAKILL solely because it's soundtrack is AWESOME.
That headline confused me. I thought you were replacing the entire VRM with burned parts.
17:10 , are you talking dirty to the wire :v
the good old zombie mod :)
Those copper braids are tiny! We use larger CSA versions of them around concentric cables to carry the neutral/earth
I'm sure your trying to relate but.....
There is over 4000a of capability on that earth bridge and your calling it tiny.
that's 4kw in this use case....... tiny = flexible and easy to solder.
It's not industrial equipment, it's a GPU that runs on 1v, getting cable installed with a forklift truck wouldn't be helpful.
@@KillaBitz it has 40A current rating not 4000A also the stuff we usually use is 35/50mm CSA no forklift required
*The one he used was actually 30A
GPU Frankenstein. Love it
Why not look for a manufacturer that will make you a custom bare PCI-E X16 card to do this with?
You're hiding a half-built time machine in your garage aren't you.
And you don’t even have the the data lines from the core connected to the Controller, how does that work out?
Running forward voltage sense lines is only necessary if you want the VRM to compensate for the voltage loss between the core and the power board. Since I'm only losing around 20mv right now I see no reason to bother. When on LN2 I'm pretty sure at 1.5V on the E-power I'll still be getting well over 1.4V at the core.
As for the core talking to the VRM. Nvidia GPUs have basically braindead power delivery. The core only ever sends voltage requests. The core doesn't actually ever get any data or confirmations back from the VRM.
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking thanks for the replies.
Hey buildzoid, Would a bridge mod be worth doing on a shunt modded 3080 ti FTW3?
Can I mount input capacitors on the end of the 8 pin PSU power cables, to help with GPU input capacity?
I am not brave enough to solder on a 1000€ card, but is it too far away to make a difference?
you can but IDK how effective it will be since the caps will be behind the input filtering inductors.
This is soooo cool
It's like a wasteland GPU
I would love to know someone who does stuff like this in the EU and buy
Buildzoid, just got a 3070 and installed it on a system running windows 11 (not sure if that's relevant) and when I put it in the fastest two PCIe slots it doesn't display. When I put it in the 3rd PCIe slot it displays but obviously the bandwidth is awful. Please help if you see this
does the card work in windows 10?
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking Have not gotten the chance to try that yet, I'll be home in a few hours is that the first thing you'd try is revert to Windows 10?
Motherboard CPU ? Toggle load default settings in bios.
@@abijeetrs6522 I tried to link a Reddit post about it, but no I haven't tried that, I'll do that next. I may stick the 1060 back in just to make sure the slots themselves didn't fail, and then if all is good reset default bios as you suggested
G'day Jacob, that is sad to hear,
Just wondering if you used DDU to Fully Uninstall the GTX1060 & then install the GTX3070,
If you did then all I got for help is try 'Clear CMOS',
or with the GPU in the working slot enter BIOS to 'Restore Default/Load Optimised Defaults',
I hope you get it fixed as going from a 1060 to a 3070 is going to be a great experience
@buildzoid i really need one of those pcb power reset board you have on that motherboard. where can i get one? all i see are the ones without a board. they have long wires hooked up to a switch. i like the little board design that plugs right in.
I got it when I was at gigabyte. AFAIK it's an inhouse thing they just have for use in the labs.
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking ah man bummer. that would make plug and play testing easier and faster. thanks though.
How much would it take to pull some GPU necromancy on my zotac 1080ti. Like I might be able to pay 150£ up front. maybe 150£ later to do some cool stuff?
what's wrong with it?
ironically belongs in diWHY
i mean sure chase that mhz haha
Hi, Buildzoid. Could you share the link for this tinned copper braid?
www.wires.co.uk/acatalog/tinned_copper_braid.html
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking You might like tri-rated cable, it's also braided but it's round and has a much higher rating per CSA. Your 15mm tinned braid is rated for 30A, whereas 16mm Tri rated is rated for 100A @70°c
If you're just looking for 30A the 2.5mm Tri rated is only 3.7mm in diameter which includes the insulation
@@Angle-ofAttack I like the fact that this stuff is flat. If it wasn't flat it would be way harder to make some of the connections.
This is what I imagine rust players do with tech trash
What a fault VRM of an EVGA's graphics card??? xD
How many counts is your multimeter?
30 000
Is there something special about the 471.68 driver?
no that's just the one I happen to have.
that's a weird ass gpu bro
What is it with these doubled stages failing. It keeps happening. 9xx 10xx 30xx gaaah! Stop doubling mfgs!
You almost said EVGA the Czech way.
Hi, just wondering if anyone in comments or buildzoid could give me some advice for my current PC upgrade. I'm stuck on which motherboard to combo with my 5900x and 4x8 patriot steel 4400cl19. I don't need any major features like thousands of sata ports etc i just need basic stuff. I'd like to somewhat OC my RAM obviously down clock to around 3800 and lower timings etc.
B550 Aorus Pro.
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking Thanks, i was looking at that at first others did mention MSI MEG B550 Tomahawk but if ur saying aorus i'll go for that.
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking I could go down the intel route do you think it'd be better or worse if lets say i went for a 10900k or a 9900k?
@@mickzR1 keep the 5900X
nice zombie
This is a dumpster 🔥 just waiting to happen.
