Colorful iGame RTX 3060 - Artifacts After Shipping

Embark on a riveting repair journey with 'Graphics Card Repairs' as we resurrect a Colorful iGame RTX 3060 shipped from India to UAE, plagued by artifacts due to mishandling during shipping. Previously deemed irreparable by another center, we uncovered extensive damage with flux spread across the PCB, indicating prior reflow attempts on the GPU core and memory.
Undeterred, we meticulously addressed the aftermath. Running MATS revealed a faulty memory module with ripped-off pads. Witness the intricate process of replacing the damaged memory and conducting a GPU core reball to restore functionality. Post-repair, the card underwent rigorous stress testing, emerging stable and fully operational.

I have a 2080ti if you’re interested. It needs the micron chips repaired.

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Do you want to get it replaced to the 2019 ones?

[@bravocortez4087]

@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql I was just going to sell it to you unless you want to fix it for free.

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Unfortunately I only buy broken scrap cards for parts that too local only. Unless you want to donate to me.

[@brancarr1]

Looks like the card was only running at 8x instead of 16x. At least thats what GPU-Z showed.

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Good Observation. I noticed that later too during editing. it has been fixed later on this card.

[@brancarr1]

My guess would be one of the capacitors near the x16 connector wasn’t making a connection. The third or fourth pair of caps?

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

One of the caps on the 13th pair was knocked off. Replaced the capacitor and it was back to normal. I have a video on how the card will show if any of the caps gets knocked off and how to fix it.

so.. the problem is not those broken contact pcie pins?

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

No nothing to do with pcie pins. The problem was with broken memory solder and pads and under the core.

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

The core had to be reballed and memory replaced

@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql i see thanks. anyway its sad that you skip the teardown process, i have rtx 4060 with same cooler and i cant find any teardown video of this iGame gpu

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

Thank you for the feedback. I will start including the teardown in my future videos. The next 2 upcoming videos will not have it but the onces after that i will make sure that i include the tear down as well.

[@MO-ue4mu]

Hi can you please provide me with the thermal pad size of this gpu?

[@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql]

0.5mm on memory. The other areas I think are 1mm.

[@MO-ue4mu]

@@GraphicsCardRepairs-tk7ql thank you so much!!!!
