man i always learn something new watching your repairs. I can't even watch northridgefix with any seriousness after seeing the repairs you seem to effortlessly pull off. keep it up man.
Watch both if you want to learn, this guy is methodical and relentless, that guy is efficient. two different things you can learn. if you want to have fun, both of their rants are funny, NWR more i guess.
@@hashemmi24 northridgefix is far from any pro. As a matter of fact, I doubt he ever have any serious education about electronics repair. But it's just my opinion, I'm open for debate...
@@DamirUlovec As I do electronics repairs my self and having a relevant education I can fully agree with you with one exception. It's not about education, it never was (Tony isn't an Electronics engineer or even technician by training), it's all about perception and practicing. Of course you need to read and educate your self because today's electronics are very complex, but above all, you have to be fascinated and in love with electronics otherwise you are just someone who pretends to be a technician or engineer in his pursuit to become rich (as Alex does). Unfortunately, most of the people can't judge how much legit you are and they are just buying what you sell. It's all about how good is the marketing of your service or product and not how much good it really is.
That EVGA Kingpin card is designed for overclocking that's why the shunt resistors. Vince "Kingpin" Lucido created Kingpin models for extreme overclocking. He has his own brand of thermal paste used in LN2 OCing, it's expensive but it's good stuff as it doesn't dry out as fast as other TIMs on the market. He also has his name on EVGA high end MBs though EVGA produces neither any longer. He has been defied among the OC community.
The person who did the previous repair just needs to practice his trade by working on outdated junk cards. We all need to learn. Practice makes perfect.
Did you know that the cooling blocks are actually aluminum coated to look like copper ? Also plastic shroud is very fragile. I understand that copper would add a lot of weight but....... Disappointing to say the least.
If i learned anything over the many years of repairing stuff if you have no clue what you are doing just take your time and make sure you have the right stuff to fix whatever. At least whoevers card this is finally sent it to a professional in the end and was able to save such a cool card rather than tobkeep trying to fix it and end up destroying it beyond repair. So so so many items I get in for repair i say to myself why didn't they just stop after the 3rd or 4th attempt? I hate telling them that whoever worked on it before made it so bad i can't fix it knowing it was them that screwed it up. Another great video thanks for the great entertainment while you fixed this one.
Question, did you not replace the thermal pads interfacing with the backplate? Those actually do something because of that 3090 having VRAM chips on the backplate side of the board, that's why the backplate has a heatpipe on this card etc. It actually does help too, I went so far as to add heatsinks to my backplate when I had mine, and an active fan, and with the card under a liquid block (like full loop) it dropped memory temps on the backplate-side VRAM by 6-10C under load - further than just having the backplate connected with thermal pads. Just curious. Great video, glad to see the card was repairable cuz it'd be a shame if one of these died from a shitty-first repair job by someone else.
I actually also soldering sum capacitors but not to inject voltage,but rather short them with solder blob, i do this when i suspect there is a shorted vrm phase in a multiphase so when i inject a current, i don't run the risk of frying the core even if i inject 12v, im even so confident in this set-up that i sometimes use a li-ion cell rated for 100a and that shorted vrm with just nstantly glow like a bulb 😂😂
If I had to choose between Nvidia RTX 3090 or RTX 4070 Super or the RTX 4070Ti Super... which one she I go for ? and thanks for the vids northwestrepair, even though I'm a noob in the world of PC equipement and there much to learn, I keep watching your vids and have interest in machine components.
Value perspective : 4070 Super . You have money to blow : 4070Ti Super . 3090 is just not worth it these days, warranty period has lapsed, the card is 4 years old now.
I do have a question. How do you recommend testing power supplies? I have one that I think is not providing the power that it is supposed to. Thus not powering up the gpu. Yet the gpu is working in another pc. I got a used power supply, yet I am worried it will fry something. Just wondering if you have any recommendations.
Get a tester you can measure the voltages with a multimeter but that's only useful if a rail is dead. A decent tester isn't expensive and it will tell you if a psu is good 80% of the time.
Toooooooonnnny , Have a RTX 2070 SUPER Flounders Edition died this week or I thought it did dust bunnies shorted something cleaned it now it works BUT the 5 volt rail has 50 Kiloohms on it the reference is 5 Kiloohms, something off or is that normal?
seems to be an interesting trend of tony noticing the work of other technicians but they seem to rarely address the key issues tony does. or maybe im just ignorant
@jackc5293 Absolutely. I either am blessed with a perfect sample or the fact I never really o/c it heavy & always kept fan speed at 100% It still works perfect after all these years. I really need to repaste it but I'm kind of apprehensive.
@@SergioPena20 Perhaops. The caps are still on the board so it was not another repair place I am thinking of. Besides that other place does not touch GPUs as far as I know.

After watching 2 of his "repairs" i agree.

KingP|N and TIN were literally mad scientist geniuses given full reign over a GPU who made something insane.
Hes going to PNY now
Yess! Daily hello internet is here.
Wow, I have never seen that many sensors on the card. It must cost a fortune. Nice card.
evga 3080ti has the same
on my evga mobo(not kingpin) i have reports from all phases xD
Wow! … just Wow!
Like a Swiss watch repairman but for your graphics card …. awesome 👍😀
You are actually so much better than NRF..
Bravo!
The videos you make are addicting.
The content has always been excellent, and now the production value has started improving a lot video by video. Keep it up.

It's a shame EVGA stopped making GPUs..

Happy beep whenever NWR uploads a new video.
Customer has to be happy with that repair. Nice job!
I love that black and gold pcb
Kingpin maybe coming back under pny ❤

nice work sir :)
man I love this repair vid
Muh kangpeen. Excellent fix good job.
That's your card?
perfect as always.
Entertained. Thanks Tony!
Awesome video, should do a tools supplies videos to us from europe :D
You are so positive guy! I don't know if it's good or bad cause positive has to do with electricity and not with moral 😂

Love Your Work ❤
Amazing 🤩
Such a cool card!
Great work
it´s a shame that kingpin isnt designing pc parts as of right now. they always turn out very beautiful and high performing.
He actually is
He is with PNY now

Interesting card.
fascinating.
good one 😉
crazy the chip had 1995 on it and its clock speed was 1995-2010. I'm pretty sure that was from when it was binned.

All that fancy engineering and so close to my Inno3d 4070 Super ...
to my trash can GPU*
I think they 10 and 47 pf caps on three digut code, last digit if the multiplier
oooh! Shiny ✨
thank u after watching ur video
i realised dont buy from EVGA
👏👍🏆
In your experience, which 1080 Ti version or model, would you recommend as the best build?
because there are a few models and looking to buy used.
👍👌👍
we....are .... internet
4:21 should the small pins on the left and right really be connected with eachother?
Are all the PCB mount screw holes connected to ground in GPU and/or motherboard ?
I have ask you something why gpu coil whine happen was that sign of card getting bad?
What does pex mean? I’m new to your channel. I don’t know all the terms yet.
Pretty sure its called PEX because its for the PCIE Express logic. Not 100% tho
@ ah ok. Makes sense. Thanks.
with the bigger caps and stuff they might have been doin overclock attempts
People do shunt mods to overclock these video cards.
5:55 Is it just me or does that ground plane resemble a shocked elephant?

Hello how can i discover hotspot while software is not reporting what is the hotspot?

seems to be an interesting trend of tony noticing the work of other technicians but they seem to rarely address the key issues tony does. or maybe im just ignorant
what thermal pads do you usually use for GPU's when you have to replace them?
no name, no brand ones.
Who Cares..fave recent saying.lol Brilliant !
Is it a camera issue that every time I see you use the infrared, all I see is everything is warm (pinkish) or am I just an idiot?
Where is the music ?
I'm using an evga 9800gtx+ as I type this, waiting for scrubs to clear the lfd2 lobbies.
I got one of those cards although it died.... Playing stalker and it just perma-artifacted. Amazing value back in the day.
@jackc5293 Absolutely. I either am blessed with a perfect sample or the fact I never really o/c it heavy & always kept fan speed at 100% It still works perfect after all these years. I really need to repaste it but I'm kind of apprehensive.
7:30 xD
who cares? I care, we care, because you care. does that make sense? well who cares.
first ?
Looked that way
What can I say. I just happened to be in the right place 30 seconds after the video upped.
You shouldnt watch the better then new channel at all...
Someone has been doctoring the graphic, ie, 1M subs 0 vids - lol -.
Hmm I wonder who touched this card before?
NRF?
@@SergioPena20 Perhaops. The caps are still on the board so it was not another repair place I am thinking of. Besides that other place does not touch GPUs as far as I know.
@@GregM who else were you thinking of? I’m pretty new to these microsoldering channels. I don’t know them all.
The card owner commented on part 1 and said that he sent it to "a different north****fix channel".
@@kathleendelcourt8136 ah ok. Thanks. I just went to the other video and saw the comment. Thanks.
what 4060 card would you recomend ?
this guy talk too much bs,before he didn't
