can it be that these passive Gigabyte graphics cards are all dead today 🤣
@@tweakpc
Got one 6600, but the pci-x version.
Last time i've checked, worked just fine.
@@tweakpc yep this is not good GPU for passive cooling, with combination of closed case or no fans around ... justiced to dead 🙂
@@RETROHardware Yes most were exposed to bad airflow which is a problem with passive cards. Also have a 6600 here that barely ran the electrolytic capacitors have all but also gone up. The 6800 but many seem to have died.
"PCB layers are separated inside"
_Q U A L I T Y_
Even with as much as tech has moved on since, I still have some sentimental love for the 7950gt in particular. I've hung on to my pcie edition since. But always wanted to have the agp version, too; didn't even know it ever had an agp edition until much, much later.
Layers of PCB may be separated because of cold connection points. You know, people put the GPU to owen, high temp and its sometimes repeaired. But when some moistrue stuck in the PCB, they poped out and make some bubbles on the PCB.
Great video as always! Greetings.
Delamination is the term.
Probably some random producer fault, luckily in place where arent any parts or chips.
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises Or popcorning. It can be mitigated with moisture absorbing gel.
@@SomeAngryGuy1997 Indeed.
That's why before SMD assembly,pcb HAVE to be held in drying enclosure.
A very rare and beautiful card, like!
Для тех кто не знает почему 2 чипа. 1ый это собсно сам видеочип. 2ой это "переходник" с pcie на agp. Да-да, такое делали специально для старых кампудахтеров где pcie еще не было, а agp был уже давно.
ATI Rialto и nVidia HSI - так они называются. Появились эти мосты к слову из-за диаметрально противоположной причины - существующие AGP видеокарты впопыхах адаптировали на новую шину PCI-Ex. У ATI это была x800 серия, у nVidia это была FX5900 - сверхредкая карта, за ними охотятся коллекционеры. Была еще интересная карта nVidia 6800GT под PCI-Ex, так вот у нее этот мост на самом видеочипе находятся, там два кристалла (чип NV45). А потом эти моста как раз для переделки PCI-Ex карт в AGP начали применять, и предела радости купивших такую карту не было, особенно когда эти мосты от дикого перегрева сдыхали, и карте уже ничем нельзя было помочь.
Ah, the era of dubious shroud decorations and electrolytic caps trying to pass as solid state... I remember when every mid range and up videocard appeared to be decorated with warriors or something like that (dog/wolf warriors, in XFX's case).
Cool cards, nice repair :-)
I really like this gpu, I have the 512 MB PCI-E version. I use this gpu on my Windows 2000 PC paired with a Pentium 4 HT at 3 GHz.
Retro channels like this is why i exist !!!
Nice collection of cards! Glad to see most of them were working.
6:46
Yeah seeing that passively cooling card they are all bad
7:29
Accelero X1 i have that cooler bought it for my HD3070 back in days, but it didn't fit my model
9:23
At least you labeled one card with OK😀 7900gs Hairdryer edition but hey it works
11:20
I was thinking it was goner but Gainward cooling design stood test of time.
Great looking cards.
And very nice save of 7950 those caps are like plague.
11:20 works, it was glitching after years in box without turn on ... this happened me xx times, more with Radeons, they doing this often
Nice set, friend!
WOW. A Geforce 7000 series extravaganza. Loving it. I also have mixed results testing cards of this generation.
thank you man
I love this gpu, i want to install this gpu on hp dc530 with p4 2.8 ghz and 2gb ddr 400
The Best AGP vídeo card ever made
HD 4650 agp is faster
@@VladiKillera unlike that, the driver's actually _work_ for the GeForce card. Literally nothing agp after maybe X1k worked from ATI, ever.
@@ZeroHourProductions407 i can't understand for what are you talking about... i've had hd 4650 agp in the past for a long time and never had any issues with it or with the drivers...
@@VladiKillera now I know you're lying.
Never ever does the Radeon driver ever install on any agp Radeon after the X1k series. Even had a 3650 agp as an emergency stand-in and the drivers that came with the card refused to install.
My only saving grace to have a working PC again that year was literally when I was gifted a 6600gt agp after the best part of three years of misery with Radeons in that era.
fastest AGP NV is 7950GT ... its not because it is unlocked Gainward 7800 GS 🙂
fastest AGP ATi is 3850 after 4670... and yeah they had fatal problems with drivers, you must use Hot Fix Drivers + DOT NET installed ... then works fine.
i had a 6800U gainward, that one packed alot of copper 😄
Cooles Video
6:58 - had card which has EXACTLY this problem. Maya Geforce 6800. Exactly that passive cooling.
Had to destroy like half of the 6800. Gave it to some hardware guy. He tried to repaired it, but of course failed. The cause was problems from extreme overheating.
I got the same 7950gt. All the caps are gone too.
What surprises me - is that this 7950 GT has two notches. Actually, these cards no longer had that. That's why I'm still wondering to this day whether they might be flashed GeForce FX cards.
Love old agp cards, but they are so moody. My original powercolor 3850 died while stored.
More recently, gad a 7600GS quit on me few weeks back, after it worked fine for hours of gameplay with no issue, one reboot and no longer image or detected (used a pci). But i was lucky, a 7600GT popped up after :)
😯❤❤❤👍
9:07 6800ХТ у меня сейчас такая карта, но на 16 Гб ))
Separated PCB layers means probably that someone was trying to fix it in oven or with heat pistol, that happens when you heat it too much while trying to resolder GPU core. We can thank to stupid ban for lead solder which is why these GPUs have so many cold joints now and why people are trying to heat it. Older GPUs from 90s are immortal.
BTW, I stopped with oiling fans, I am doing it only when it's really needed, because very often it makes things just worse than before. 🙂 Instead of trying to fix old fans, I started to installing new ones, you can mostly solder original cable to new fan, but problem is that it's hard to get all those weird fan sizes like 40mm, 50mm and 60mm now.
This GPU was definitely cooked, I've never seen so many destroyed capacitors on one card, it makes no sense.
i bought the 7950GT AGP from XFX back in the day. i wanted the fastest AGP Card but sadly it only worked for a few months befor it died :( ... i think the fastest and last AGP Card was a HD3850 form ATI or something
XFX AGP cards has some factory issues around VRM, high % are dead
Fastest, yes. Latest agp card ever produced was ATI Radeon HD 4670.
Accelero X1 great cooler
Are you going to resell it all? I would love to buy some AGP card 😊
hello, can u tell me, at what price can I sell P4 D 965 EE 3.73GHz (2 cores 4 threads)?
Too bad the xfx 6800, I like the look of that card 😢😢
How did/have you acquired so much old tech?
You have first, second ... then I was bad in math, I lost count you know 🙂
Maybe you are interested in buying HD 3850 AGP? I have the new one - retail, unopened, unused!
Where can I buy the Gt 7950 Agp?
That ASUS card is farting :D
the old psus used to kill the hardware....
what is typical sleeping glitch? - 12:00
card glitching after years in box without turn on ... this happened me xx times, more with Radeons, they doing this often
@@RETROHardware Ah I see, what's the solution? Restart and restart cyclicaly?
Ako sa to opravi? Iba restartujes dokola, a nechas ju potom bezat v BIOSe?
@@warrax111 I think it has to do with the capacitors not being used and receiving a charge for many years. Capacitors actually DO go bad and often leak from NOT being used for a long time. I had this happen to me on a graphics card that was actually "brand new" and only tried a few times before I stored it in it's original box for many years. Nearly all the caps leaked and I had to replace them from not enough use. It runs fine now! If you are lucky though, you may get the card working after a few power ups and be good to go...at least for awhile anyway hopefully. This can happen on older retro PCs and add-on cards too. It's actually good to "exercise" your electronic equipment from time to time by using it and gently charge up any spare capacitors you may have for use as replacement parts too from time to time. 👍👍
@@arthurmann578 I have about 70 motherboards and about 100 graphic cards, some of them even from 1995, so 30 year old and it didn't happen on any of those. I mean, no capacitor leaked from not being used.
I will not "re-use it" , from time to time, that would be crazy. Time consuming.
Maybe some crappy capacitors can do it, don't know... didn't happen to me.
@@warrax111 It was really weird having like six out if eight caps just going bad and leaking when I bought the card brand new back in probably 2004 or so and only tested it briefly maybe twice before putting it back in the box. They are those small all aluminum ones. I had to replace them with much larger ones at the time, but it worked out OK! I can see what you mean about not wanting to test out so many graphics cards! To be honest, I really still don't bother myself and just fix them when and if I ever have a future problem. For the most part, it is rare even amongst all the hardware I own too. Guess it's also just the quality or LACK there of of the caps themselves. Remember the "great capacitor plague" of the earlier 2000s? I always come across boards from that era with the leaky caps.

just use a damn 2in paintbrush for the dust, not a poxy qtip..........
No any brushes in my room, I dont want to eat dust. This method will take off all dust to bin. 🙂
