So check your own card and replace if necessary
As an owner of this identical card - I salute you. Got a 3090FE now. I got this card back in the box and bag it came with. Still have it in my network closet. Did thought about selling it, but I digress...
I know sheet about repairing video cards, I might just know some basics of electronics... very basic. This channel has become one of my daily must-to-see enjoyments. Good jobs mate!
I have this card and works great on my ancient dual X5690 Xeon. I can play everything I want. Granted I don't have 4k monitors or TVs. Great video! Thanks for sharing everything!
You changed your multimeter😂😂😂. P.s:- sorry I’m watching all your videos from the very first one uploaded I discovered you some days ago. You are amazing.
Do you ever use 3Dmark for verification? It seems to be the most sensitive benchmark for GPU or memory faults. I had a 1080 Ti which passed MATS memory test, all Unigine benchmarks and Furmark (long-term, good temps) but would always crash immediately in 3Dmark. I assume it was some subtle GPU issue which only comes to light with certain APIs (like DX12) since the memory test was good. I'd recommend using 3Dmark as a standard for "QA" or you may get complaints that the card crashes in certain games but runs fine in others.
best test for memory error is game Days gone. it also put exceptionally high load on card so card consumption is higher than with unigine, combustor or games like Cyberpunk, RDR2...
I love your work and steady hands, (if I need brain surgery, I'll keep you in mind). Is it hard to solder the way you do? I have an Asus RTX 4090 TUF and it has vacant VRM spots compared to the STRIX. Would it be hard to ad those components myself? Could you do it? Have you done it? Maybe I could take bits off my unused 2080Ti's?
You dont need to Meassure the Individual Vcore Coils ^^ They are Connected together. After a Repair like this you Should Check with a oscilloscope The Vcore Rails if they are working Okay. You dont really see that in Benchmarks But if the Signal is not Correct They will die soon again. But all in all Good work ;)
Im only now getting into GPU repairs. I need most of the tools. What i really need is the tool you use to power the PCI-E riser. did you make that yourself? If so, do you have any information on the how to? This could be an idea for a video, to show off all the tools you use, and the ones you can make yourself. I actually have the exact revision of the card you shown as a donor board. looks like the resistance on the 5v rail is way too high.
Nice video How many amps is the first fuse that you measure ? I’m about to fix mine same card and I found one drmos is explored and the this fuse is blow .
Tony: Instead of barbequeing the board when welded hae ya'll considered using a grinding pen and going down just to the bottom of the mosfet? It seems to me to be less likely to charcoal board layers and save a few more from the electronic waste factories. But I am usually wrong being a celebrated nincompoop. Ciao
I just had a mosfet blow on a gigabyte 980ti and burned the top layer. Any luck of saving it? I see you had a video on it with the 0 ohm resistors but it burned the mosfet after running for 20mins.
Depends on the traces underneath. If you want to send it to me to fix, even at my lower then dirt prices it's not worth it, especially after shipping cost.
You maybe right. I am not a professional, I make allot of assumptions based on what I see. In this case, they were not even a pair because a pair to this drmos would be 5 drmosses up. I called it a pair because what I usually see is if one goes bad, one next to it is also going bad.
@@northwestrepair you can always look up the pwm controller's datasheet. See how moany mosfets can it control and count down them. If you have more mosfets, some of them are doubled. Or just measure the gates together.
@@northwestrepair why with pairs? if u have blown phase , it have two neibors/mostly/, so u may replace 3 pieces. but i dont find it true. mosfets ok i replace them all, but drmos i replace only bad
Before watching the video i'll answer. Yes and No. If the high side mosfet of the phase shorted , that can cause damage to the device which that phase is driving since its basically connecting the 12v input to the choke directly.. If the low side mosfet of the phase shorted then there is a good chance of survival.

What has the most impact on game performance is something called the PBKAC, or for troubleshooting purposes the PEBKAC. Shorthand for "Person Between Keyboard And Chair" and for troubleshooting "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair". Kidding aside, it depends what you have to start with, the base computer. That's pretty complex and next to impossible to define without knowing what components your base computer has, but if you have a relatively new computer that has say a newer Ryzen series CPU with at least 8-16gb of RAM it's a safe bet to say the performance bottleneck will be the Graphics card or even the amount of crap you have running in background computer processes from programs you installed that run (hidden) at system startup. Look up how to open your computer's "task manager" and look at the "startup" tab to disable anything that you're certain doesn't need to run _every_ day. Like I said... a PEBKAC because the user unwittingly installed a resource hog.
@@macgyver5108 hi! wow, your post is awesome! thank you, very much. you know what's weird? I had that thought about crap running in the background. Just about Christmas this year, I built a kinda bad assed computer. It is based around a an Intel i9 10900k. I had went through the background list on my Dell Optiplex 7010 and kicked a bunch of stuff out that was running for no reason, just as you said. thank you. You, sound pretty sharp. I bet you took college computer classes on computers I had put Windows 10 pro when, I first built it. I knew that, I was going to 11, I didn't bother with too much tuning stuff. Yeah, I had upgraded to 11 the other day. But, I had to move out for the painters. I've most of my stuff back. I already got mt PC up and running. The only game that, I play is Medal of Honor Allied Assault multi-player. There are a lot of bad ass players there. I, tell ya, my game play got micrsoftly better. I've got free wifi that is weak as hell. 31 down, 6 up. So, I'm getting my own high speed wifi. Those guys are so good, that I, need all the help that, I can get, lol! I tell ya so far, the things that have made a noticeable for my game play. I removed the default cap on frames per second. it will blip to 3,000 FPS. But, won't run it freezes up and the Low Internet light is flashing like crazy. So, I just keep lowering it, until the light quits flashing. I've played occasionally with my FPS around 700-800 it was awesome. but, most off the time I have to dumb it down to the 300-400s. I'm basing there numbers on the Medal of Honors built in FPS counter. I tested that counter against another FPS counter app and the numbers were mostly, no where each other. So, I ditched the FPS app. I didn't want it running in the background, too. I'll tell ya, the one thing that really made a noticeable difference was when I ditched my Smart TVs 60Hz and replaced it with a 240Hz monitor. I, wish that you could see my set up. You can go to my UA-cam channel and see what I've been doing. There's some videos off it and videos of my tests like, Cinebench R23. Valley, Heaven tests also. I had scored a 16,625 on Cinebench with Windows 10 Pro but, when I went up with Windows 11 Pro, I lost about 400 points. The first thing that, I thought of what might be running in the background. In my little survey, I had written to guys with good quality channels. The responses were basically, 6 for the GPU. 2 for the CPU. 1 for the chair. And 1 for the brain. 1 said the monitor. There was one more but, I can't remember what it was. I, compared my test results to other ones and the points show the CPU as the most difference. So, to some it up, all of the other tests also, showed that the CPU makes more impact on the points, than the GPU. Crazy, right? And definitely the monitor. Made noticeable game play performance. I am definitely going to get into the background apps to kill some stuff. I was surprised and bummed that, I lost points upgrading to the 11. I want to find out why. My UA-cam and Facebook pages all are titled with my name to search for me. Thank you for responding.
@@mrkemblegilstrap thanks! I'd say I'm pretty 'deep' into the rabbit hole of computers and electronics! Everything from building a system, writing my own code, system admin skills and even hardware repair when I need to 'remodel' an entire missing area of PCB that became a 'burnt offering to the PC gods'! 😅 Between being a licensed amateur radio operator and building radios from scratch or messing with fixing with computers or other electronics for over 20 years now... My friends all call ME to fix things!😳 Check out a channel by a network systems administrator called "ChrisTitusTech" and search his videos for the word "debloater" and watch those! He has a tons of great videos and the open source debloater script project he has works with both Win 10 and 11 (they're actually fairly similar at the base level, 11 mostly just looks prettier and is a bigger pain in the ass) The script can clean up a Windows install to make it run snappier AND block most of the baked in data mining/privacy problems too! There's also options to "cleanly" install a wide list of very useful tools, programs and other utilities vs using the "messy" Windows installers. Definitely use the "Nvidia Clean Installer" tool if you're using an Nvidia graphics card, as that gets rid of yet even MORE bloatware startup processes! His videos show how to run the script. (there's several versions over the years as it's been updated and improved!) You open windows Powershell as an admin, then paste in the script web address link with the newest version to run it, but I find it helps to paste in the command: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force and hit enter FIRST before you enter the web link. Running the Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force command WAS a step that was required with the older script versions (not sure if he forgot to mention it in the latest video or I had some 'thought atrophy'!) otherwise you can run into permissions issues when the program opens and try running certain options. Don't forget to reboot before expecting to see any performance boosts too. That i9-10900K should be MORE than overkill for the next few years too! Most games don't seem to utilize multicore processors like you'd imagine, anything with 16+ threads (yours being 10 cores 20 threads) you won't see much if any bottle necking from the CPU even with lower MHz clock speed CPU's (unless you have junk processes hiding like I'd said...) Not sure what kind of antennas are on your WiFi but there's a saying in radio comms: "ANTENNA is EVERYTHING!" an operator using 1 watt with an amazing antenna can SWAMP someone using 50 watts but only a mediocre antenna. I'd recommend an upgrade to high dB gain WiFi antennas and make sure the router has removable antennas too (look for knurling on the base of the antennas where they attach to the router before you buy, that's meant for 'grip' which means it can come off, no knurling = permanent!) Personally though, I'd make my own antennas from scratch that are a "directional beam" AKA a Yagi design... if I didn't already drill a hole inside my closet and run a cat8 ethernet line upstairs to the main router/modem!
@@mrkemblegilstrap one last tip for anybody reading this, months later: unpark your CPU cores! for some stupid reason windows 10 and 11 like to muck with power plans and park CPU cores (aka setting it to lowest speed) after major updates. on older processors (8th gen intel or older, 1st gen ryzen or older), Spectre mitigations could also be eating up precious CPU cycles. Sure, disabling mitigations can theoretically open you up to malicious websites mining your RAM for passwords or encryption keys, but a number of browsers have mitigations for that. you're not doing banking on your main gaming OS anyway, right? right?
@@northwestrepair Thanks! I am always curious about stuff & how it works or how its done. Always have been. I used to take shit apart when I was a kid & would try to figure out how it works. I'm afraid of what I would've accomplished if I had UA-cam & the internet when I was little. HaHaHa!!
@@northwestrepair no it will NOT. missing 1/12 of power means nothing for 12phases. have this car with 3 burned phases and with just -10% power limit it work for years
@@danielsatko- my understanding is: if you are missing a single ACTIVATED phase, it will crash under maximum load. It would not be able to reach 100% TDP with one phase not working properly.
@@northwestrepair with many phases u can light overload phases to get full TDP. like if u miss one of twelve phases. ofcourse u cannot make it run long, because of overheating and ppossible burn
Yes. The GPU can actually recognize 12gb with a proper bios and complete circuit if I am not mistaken., I honestly don't know what's is the reason behind this.
one time i stuck a wooden toothpick into the space around my mouses scrollwheel and the INSTANT i pushed it in my computer turned off. Then when i rebooted my pc smoke started coming from the videocard and it was FRIED
watching some other repair channels who give up so quickly ,its nice to see someone finish the job.

i9 10900k.
I had went through the background list on my Dell Optiplex 7010 and kicked a bunch of stuff out that was running for no reason, just as you said. thank you. You, sound pretty sharp. I bet you took college computer classes on computers
I had put Windows 10 pro when, I first built it. I knew that, I was going to 11, I didn't bother with too much tuning stuff. Yeah, I had upgraded to 11 the other day. But, I had to move out for the painters. I've most of my stuff back. I already got mt PC up and running.
The only game that, I play is Medal of Honor Allied Assault multi-player. There are a lot of bad ass players there.
I, tell ya, my game play got micrsoftly better.
I've got free wifi that is weak as hell. 31 down, 6 up.
So, I'm getting my own high speed wifi.
Those guys are so good, that I, need all the help that, I can get, lol!
I tell ya so far, the things that have made a noticeable for my game play. I removed the default cap on frames per second. it will blip to 3,000 FPS. But, won't run it freezes up and the Low Internet light is flashing like crazy. So, I just keep lowering it, until the light quits flashing. I've played occasionally with my FPS around 700-800 it was awesome. but, most off the time I have to dumb it down to the 300-400s. I'm basing there numbers on the Medal of Honors built in FPS counter. I tested that counter against another FPS counter app and the numbers were mostly, no where each other. So, I ditched the FPS app. I didn't want it running in the background, too.
I'll tell ya, the one thing that really made a noticeable difference was when I ditched my Smart TVs 60Hz and replaced it with a 240Hz monitor.
I, wish that you could see my set up. You can go to my UA-cam channel and see what I've been doing. There's some videos off it and videos of my tests like, Cinebench R23. Valley, Heaven tests also. I had scored a 16,625 on Cinebench with Windows 10 Pro but, when I went up with Windows 11 Pro, I lost about 400 points. The first thing that, I thought of what might be running in the background.
In my little survey, I had written to guys with good quality channels. The responses were basically, 6 for the GPU. 2 for the CPU. 1 for the chair. And 1 for the brain. 1 said the monitor. There was one more but, I can't remember what it was.
I, compared my test results to other ones and the points show the CPU as the most difference. So, to some it up, all of the other tests also, showed that the CPU makes more impact on the points, than the GPU. Crazy, right?
And definitely the monitor. Made noticeable game play performance.
I am definitely going to get into the background apps to kill some stuff. I was surprised and bummed that, I lost points upgrading to the 11. I want to find out why.
My UA-cam and Facebook pages all are titled with my name to search for me. Thank you for responding.
@@mrkemblegilstrap thanks! I'd say I'm pretty 'deep' into the rabbit hole of computers and electronics! Everything from building a system, writing my own code, system admin skills and even hardware repair when I need to 'remodel' an entire missing area of PCB that became a 'burnt offering to the PC gods'! 😅
Between being a licensed amateur radio operator and building radios from scratch or messing with fixing with computers or other electronics for over 20 years now... My friends all call ME to fix things!😳
Check out a channel by a network systems administrator called "ChrisTitusTech" and search his videos for the word "debloater" and watch those! He has a tons of great videos and the open source debloater script project he has works with both Win 10 and 11 (they're actually fairly similar at the base level, 11 mostly just looks prettier and is a bigger pain in the ass) The script can clean up a Windows install to make it run snappier AND block most of the baked in data mining/privacy problems too!
There's also options to "cleanly" install a wide list of very useful tools, programs and other utilities vs using the "messy" Windows installers. Definitely use the "Nvidia Clean Installer" tool if you're using an Nvidia graphics card, as that gets rid of yet even MORE bloatware startup processes!
His videos show how to run the script. (there's several versions over the years as it's been updated and improved!) You open windows Powershell as an admin, then paste in the script web address link with the newest version to run it, but I find it helps to paste in the command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
and hit enter FIRST before you enter the web link.
Running the Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force command WAS a step that was required with the older script versions (not sure if he forgot to mention it in the latest video or I had some 'thought atrophy'!) otherwise you can run into permissions issues when the program opens and try running certain options. Don't forget to reboot before expecting to see any performance boosts too.
That i9-10900K should be MORE than overkill for the next few years too! Most games don't seem to utilize multicore processors like you'd imagine, anything with 16+ threads (yours being 10 cores 20 threads) you won't see much if any bottle necking from the CPU even with lower MHz clock speed CPU's (unless you have junk processes hiding like I'd said...)
Not sure what kind of antennas are on your WiFi but there's a saying in radio comms: "ANTENNA is EVERYTHING!" an operator using 1 watt with an amazing antenna can SWAMP someone using 50 watts but only a mediocre antenna. I'd recommend an upgrade to high dB gain WiFi antennas and make sure the router has removable antennas too (look for knurling on the base of the antennas where they attach to the router before you buy, that's meant for 'grip' which means it can come off, no knurling = permanent!) Personally though, I'd make my own antennas from scratch that are a "directional beam" AKA a Yagi design... if I didn't already drill a hole inside my closet and run a cat8 ethernet line upstairs to the main router/modem!
@@mrkemblegilstrap one last tip for anybody reading this, months later: unpark your CPU cores! for some stupid reason windows 10 and 11 like to muck with power plans and park CPU cores (aka setting it to lowest speed) after major updates.
on older processors (8th gen intel or older, 1st gen ryzen or older), Spectre mitigations could also be eating up precious CPU cycles. Sure, disabling mitigations can theoretically open you up to malicious websites mining your RAM for passwords or encryption keys, but a number of browsers have mitigations for that. you're not doing banking on your main gaming OS anyway, right? right?
DeBauer has an RTX 4090 that needs fixed.
when you remove the chip, is that a solvent or some kind or an oil you are using?

@@northwestrepair Thanks! I am always curious about stuff & how it works or how its done. Always have been. I used to take shit apart when I was a kid & would try to figure out how it works. I'm afraid of what I would've accomplished if I had UA-cam & the internet when I was little. HaHaHa!!
need memory test tinylinux please
Please somebody can somebody tell me what is it that he calls "pex". I dont know the word. He says 100 ohms at pex or something like that 😊

Was this a factory overclocked card?
Yes, all Aorus are. But that's not really a reliability issue .
u did not werify phases working state with scope. it can not work and u did not know it. but u know it, so what it the catch?
No need to. Without working phase it would crash with furmark.
@@northwestrepair no it will NOT. missing 1/12 of power means nothing for 12phases. have this car with 3 burned phases and with just -10% power limit it work for years
@@northwestrepair nope. i repaired one with burned one phase and it work without problems
@@danielsatko- my understanding is: if you are missing a single ACTIVATED phase, it will crash under maximum load.
It would not be able to reach 100% TDP with one phase not working properly.
@@northwestrepair with many phases u can light overload phases to get full TDP. like if u miss one of twelve phases. ofcourse u cannot make it run long, because of overheating and ppossible burn
where are u located btw?

Is that missing memory chip normal for 1080 tis?
Yes. The GPU can actually recognize 12gb with a proper bios and complete circuit if I am not mistaken., I honestly don't know what's is the reason behind this.
@@northwestrepair The missing memory chip isbecause this is basically a Titan X Pascal, but slightly cut down
@@northwestrepair Oh, nice to know, maybe it's because of the odd amount of vram? Or maybe it's just a Titan PCB with a 1080 ti core? Who knows
one time i stuck a wooden toothpick into the space around my mouses scrollwheel and the INSTANT i pushed it in my computer turned off. Then when i rebooted my pc smoke started coming from the videocard and it was FRIED

Good work... unlike Gigabyte. No thermal paste on the GPU? Sorry. Big no, no🚫🛑
That was a user error.
