That's certainly a long time ago. And many of those buildings they built in the 60s-80s are still standing. While the quality is good. They let the outside decay or corrode, leading to dirty and ugly exteriors. Taiwan could be so much more beautiful. I particularly enjoy the old Colonial Japanese houses and Traditional Chinese (Either Ch'ing or early ROC) houses. The Japanese seem to have a habit of tearing down houses every thirty years.
@@Noman1000 Also a good thing to note is that usually ends up being true for most countries lol. People wanting to scam and scamming tourists and not giving them proper services. Could even happen in the US if u don't meet the right people so yeah. It's a lot easier to get things serviced but by success rate it wouldn't differ much I don't think.
@@Noman1000 Taiwanese here, she basically said she checked the serial number of the card and this specific card did not have international warranty so Taiwan couldn't take the card. So they needed to take it back to where they got the card from. Then Marco said he got from Australia and they don't have a repair facility there. Now I don't know the circumstances and MSI's policy but this usually happens when the card was bought from a region that is not under international warranty (Normally China, Hong Kong, and Macaw) or got it second hand from a Chinese vendor. The problem card vendor is dealing right now is there are so many fake cards coming out of China where some vendor would take an older generation GTX (ie, GTX450, GTX 460), replace its Bios and serial number so it would appear as GTX960, then sell it on AliExpress, eBay, and Newegg/Amazon's 3rd party vendors. That might be the case or MSI's warranty just got shittier. But repair shops are everywhere in Taiwan/China and it is fairly cheap and turnaround time is faster than the company themselves. So to many of us repairing a video card out of warranty isn't a big deal and some even choose to void their warranty by going to repair shops and replace manufacturer parts with better ones.
Thats banging man. Would have loved to have seen the ram and if they'd have honored that. But the graphics cards getting solved is great. Also Marco is a hero.
I'm not really on camera to begin with anyways. I couldn't possibly think of being a UA-camr. It's a tonne of work that I'd have little patience for. Thank you though.
I've reflowed 3 Gpu's, in terms of success, only 2 of the cards worked afterwards but it really depends how overheated/damaged the cards are. Also on one of the cards, the fault was the vram, not the actual GPU die and thus I couldn't repair it.
Marco, those people who gave you those nasty comments are being a bunch of major jerks behind a screen and keyboard. Love how your friend is sticking up for you and exposing who some of these people are in this video. Sometimes a minority of toxic voices can be much more vocal than the over-whelming majority. Some people crave attention and get it through excess negativity. What does that say about them? It says that they likely have social problems and you have become their punching bag simply because you are a unique personality, which is NOT a bad thing mind you. Most people don't think like that. You are extremely helpful to the Tech YES City Channel!
@@MarcoGPUtuber I've made a main post and I also replayed with a copy of that main post because I want to make sure you read it so you know that I saw that I ended up fucking up big time and drew negative attention to you and I am really really sorry for that Marco like I'm not even kidding bro I really don't remember typing those words but I obviously did as they are really embarrassing to read and to see that I caused you to alter your personality and change who you are....

I really am not worried. But those kind of comments can discourage others from using their skills to help make the content better on the road. For me, it's far more important for me to do the parts hunt with him cause it's bloody fun! I can't pass that kind of opportunity. Other people might not be as passionate about the tech as you and I are though. Thank you though.
From what I've heard online, here in Canada, if you live in Toronto you just take the card in, they replace it under warranty, no waiting around. That only applies to MSI and Asus, not Gigabyte which doesn't have any facilities in Canada. As for memory, send it to the Australian RMA centre.
Thanks for helping him out Marco, we all love and Don't worry about the hateful comments from kids. It's was nice to see you again this year.you're a great guy Marco.
whats the song at minute 5??? awesome beat! nice vid bro! i only had 1 video card faulty and it was an hd 7770 (usually one of the best cards i had for its time) but one of them was giving me a black screen o freezing my pc randomnly, i could play battlefield 1 all day long but sometimes it freezes an that happened even in windows desktop... after flashing bioses or trying different drivers that didnt work at all i sold it for 20usd as non working
They both look ok to me, and the vintage mic being vintage IMO does have a cool factor all of it's own. But he should just use whatever he is most happy with, IMHO.
u finally answered what i always wondered on a few of your videos as to why u didn't just solder something all u need to do is practice a lot best thing to learn on is a ps2 or xbox 360 analog sensor its 14 pins to replace lol but practice on something else 1st if u can replace that u can do 90 percent of the stuff out there that is how i learned back in the early 2000s i was like 14 i had my dads older soldering iron some solder and flux and 2 ps2 controllelrs with messed up analogs on both had left analogs that walked on their own but right was good soi had idea to take right outa one and put back in other so i read a few books on how to solder and desolder i got at library took a old 56k pci card and practiced til i could remove and put back on chips with no burns and it looked like factory when i put it back then i went at it taking good right analog outa 1 controller then the bad left analog sensor outa the other then replacing it and resoldering everything i was so happy it was a 14 pin solder job and i had fixed my own controller with what i learned from reading and a little thought i had i made so mutch money back then with that skill fixing things for people and all because i wanted to play gta 3 proper lol.
9:15 M9 Bad - is memory chip M9, but the 1050Ti only has 4 memory chips labeled M1-M4, so no idea why it would be M9. The 1070 may have burnt components, but more to the point, what burnt them out. Usually a burnt component means something shorted and possibly blown up other stuff as well, only the weakest part will take the full fault. I can fix those faults.
it may only have 4 chips but the pcb probably has 11 or 12 places that chip could be located and spreading them out helps keep temps down so position 1, 4, 7, 9.
That is totally cool that you were able to get those cards repaired or if they replaced them even. I wish we had stuff like that every where so you could take your some what broken stuff in and they can repair it for the fraction of the price of having to buy something new. Even better is that it lowers the throw outs into the local dumps for these types of products. Yes we have local recycling places you can take used parts to but I am sure most people don't actually take the time to do that.
In Taiwan everything is possible. Even fixing the dead! I wonder if they could fix up my grandma. She had some faulty memory modules due to alzheimer and died.
"Lifetime Warranty" is more a marketing ploy. I had 2 cases with memory from different companies. When I tried to RMA under Lifetime Warranty their reply was "Lifetime" of the product being made/sold by them.
Marco is a legend and the most helpful person in Taiwan. if you guys are ever out there. Make sure you hit him up. He is the best tour guide.
