- When your GPU starts artifacting or giving out green lines, you might think it's time to upgrade, however there are a few unorthodox ways which might allow you to fix your broken GPU.
Today I'm trying my best on a Zotac GTX 1080 Ti, wish me luck!
Also if you wanna hear what broke this GPU and how to prevent it from happening to your GPu, you might wanna check out this video:

you showed you can wash it like dishes and it doesn't harm the gpu thats still a win
That's the exact way I see it :p plus I don't wanna show fake results!
The channel name became true
He actually washed the gpu
I was shocked, then I read the channel name
@@chester.eucrine i have revived 2 motherboards and one graphics card this way.
Basicaly nothing has died on me in 20 years of owning computer parts.
Ahahaha it always has been! Take a look at my older videos, they have like 300 views total and they were filmed really bad, but I washed down a whole PC and even 8-9 GPUs at the same time!
@@ImWateringPSUs Thanks for the enlightenment
Let my washing journey commence
The artifacting before/after was definitely different. Next time, try a more traditional Oven-based DIY Reflow, which would reflow the solder by bringing the entire board up to temp and leverage surface tension to pull the components back into their proper position.
Word of caution for anyone wanting to water their GPU, probably a good idea to use a scrap motherboard/cpu/ram/PSU. We've seen graphics cards that have gone bad nuke the entire connected platform, and that was WITHOUT watering :)
Loved the video, keep up the good work.
I was expecting that it works due to the title, but still great video. It changed the problem tho, so I believe it could work for some ppl. Thank you for being honest!
Hi dude, What is the best Thermal pasthe for RYZEN Gaming laptop ? ARTIC mx6 or TF7 or TF8 or TF9 or Grizzly extreme or Grizzly metal liquid ?
The overall best for performance would be liquid metal of course, but you do need to apply it two times and if it spills it's game over. My personal pick would be MX-6, to be honest!
Also this was a great video, a lot of work went into it. Sucks that it didnt fix it but showing it did change the symptoms was good on its own
Thanks a lot, really! I had fun doing it for you guys ;)
I can't get my head around GPU's water and electronics? I've seen Tech yes city washing motherboards and it worked, so I'll give this a go.
I brought my gpu back to life in a similar manner around 8 years ago. There was no point sending it to a specialist as the card wasn't worth much. I put my card in the oven for around 15-20 minutes at around 250C. I placed the card in an elevated position on folded aluminium foil so it wasn't touching any components(important) on the bottom side of the card. To my surprise... it worked. It's worth squeezing some flux around apu so it will just reflow itself. I fixed my lenovo legion the same way, however it only worked for about 6 months. Tape over plastic parts so the connectors don't melt. Worth trying when there is no other option.
100%! What you said about flux is something that very few people know and is actually key for a good reflow :) Another key part is getting the GPU cleaned up before melting the solder, which is where the watering part comes is!
Nice video. The heatgun method usually works well when the gpu is on its last leg and, even in that case the repair is not permanent. On the other hand, visual artifacts usually mean video memory issues, and cannot be fixed that easily.
Thanks a lot for the support and yes, I 100% agree with you. This very DIY reflow method has a higher success rate on the core, in my experience. But I do have brought back a few GPUs with memory issues in this way too, so it's always worth a shot!
For a perfect reflow
1. Remove cooler, pads and paste
2. Clean/flush under BGA chip with acetone
3. Clean/flush under BGA chip with Isapropyl Alcohol
3. Apply Kapton tape to all components around BGA chip that could fail from thermal stress
4. Apply liquid flux (reflow flux) underneath BGA chip
5. Preheat board (PCB) evenly on a "hotplate"
6. Create a thermal step-up profile (written or automatic if software controlled) according to the size and thermal properties of the board/BGA/soldertype for the Hot air soldering appliance you are using
7. Reflow BGA chip
8. Step down hotplate heat by 40°c per 5 minutes
Let cool completely for an hour minimum before test
If it does not work resolder the BGA chip or possibly replace chip if chip-internal silicon-to-package (lead free) solder has produced whiskers/microcracks that cannot be reflowed
I like using distilled water to limit the minerals introduced; Great video.
doesn't really matter if you are going to wash away with alcohol afterwards.
@@Manysdugjohn You right; I didnt see him soak the card in alchol
@@floatycorn2491 He did later on!
Distilled water also works great and reduces the chance of you doing a step wrong and accidentally breaking your card, since it's also non conductive. It is a bit more expensive but definitely worth noting, thanks for the comment and for watching! :)
Having last huzzah with broken gpu, respect from me
And sometimes they do come back to life :)
MAMMAMIA you really wash it with water....
AHAHAHAH yessir I do!
Lets Gooooo! Shhmmmoking! P.A.R.T....Y? Cos I gotta!
AHAHAHHA my man!!! Thanks a lot for sticking around :))
All that and still no fix, just toss it away man.... 😂
sei italiano... cioè hai immerso la scheda nell'acqua normale che fa ruggine, hai messo sapone ( pazzesco ) hai usato l'alcol rosa che ci vuole solo l'alcol isopropilico, hai scaldato con la pistola ad aria calda che serve solo per saldare/dissaldare non per asciugare... non capisco se era un video ironico o se stai facendo solo disinformazione :/
Sono italiano, tutti metodi poco ortodossi che però funzionano!
You can go to use a washmachine set it 1200 Rpm , 90 degrees add Bio Presto😊
I definitely need to do it in my next video! ;)
I've actually heard that a dishwasher can do a great job...
And I have to add. The first step to the dry-up process is to soak it in 100% alcohol...
Yes! I don't quite feel comfortable in using my own dishwasher because I feel like the chemicals on the GPU would end up in my plate, but I'd love to give it a try maybe before swapping dishwasher. Same reason why I don't use the oven to reflow GPUs. Drying up with isopropyl is 100% key!
@@ImWateringPSUs If that's the case, it's probably cheaper and more effective to use an ultrasonic cleaner
You can't stop always Surprising me, consider me subscriber , try put it in oven on 300c for 10 -15 min it should reflow soilder contact, that how i revive my fat ps3 psp 😂, i wasnt sure it will work so i said if works fine if not just take it to garpige😂
Ahahaha thank you for the sub! I definitely have to try a more effective reflow method, I'll update you guys :)
This guy washed his card in soap and hot water. It DID NOT fix the issue. Infact he made the artifacting MUCH WORSE.
Nice try my guy. It's maybe worth trying this method if there is nothing more to be done. Getting rid of all the dust and giving some real heat afterwards towards the card may revive the GPU back. Thanks for the video :) One question though, is green lines the only defect on the GPU? I mean can you still render videos or 3D stuff just fine out of it or does it affect the result?
Btw I think it would be nice if you put some disclaimer on description as this method is quite risky :D
Thanks a lot for watching! Exactly, you summed up the video in just a few words, minus of course the shock value :p Unfortunately the GPU crashes as well, so once can't just ignore the lines. You can use it as a display adapter with no green lines if you uninstall the drivers though!
Boys dont do drugs
I don't though-
How to clean your card...backwards. The dumbest way to clean your electronics.
can you send me that card i would like to buy it ?? i need those fans ?? i have zotac card sitting in my closet fans are not working
You could try to mod some standard PC fans on the card and use it. there are guides on the internet and also try contacting Zotac and ask them if they can get U some of the fans for Ur card
Unfortunately I am still trying to get the card back up and running and I think I'll manage to do it in the end! So I can't sell it. But I 100% agree with either buying some cheap replacement fans or just using case fans! I've done that a lot in my videos as well and you actually improve the cooling too, compared to the stock fans. Get a good brand like Arctic and you'll be fine :)
@ThaEazy1 unscrew the heatsink an make sure the fans are connected properly
I heard in saltwater they fullfy their Full potential
AHAHAHAH I should try it actually-
LOL what is going on here.
Smoked hardware is the worst 🤮
Yes. I've seen some BAD computers in those years man...
ciao, fai dei bellissimi video
peccato che non li fai in italiano
Do not do this to your electronics. DO NOT USE WATER USE 99% Alcohol.
What have I done the video for ;(
🤔
:))
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wtf...
You're supposed to strip the card before washing it.
My process :
Strip
Dishwasher without soap
Sun dry // or warm (~90c) oven for ~20mins
Cool
Reassemble with new paste
Test
.
Yours is a bit ass backwards, mate.
AHAHAHHA the way you do it is definitely more organized, but I addressed it in the video and since thermal paste and pads are water resilient, it doesn't reeaaally make a difference. But yeah I take the criticism and I do admit I wash it without disassembling it also because I want a bit of shock value :p
Paste application 😂😂😂 unsub
gpu needs alot of t paste though
It doesn't matter on a gpu bro.
Not only is the die massive compared to a cpu, gpus suffer from pump out so much more than cpus, so after a time of thermal cycling, that thermal paste will just work it's way out anyway.
The paste application was indeed TERRIBLE. But it didn't really matter as it's non-conductive paste, the only bad it did was waste a bit of paste. That was also to bust another myth :)
