    2:43 Yes, that's home made. Asus leaved those memory chips without cooling ... and the card used to CTD because of that. That was the solution.

    a lot of GPU's from around 2011 seam to have dying memory chips. i see this a lot whether it be the GTX 500 or HD 7000 they all seam to end up needing memory chips, more so on the OC factory cards. they really were pushing that GDDR5 spec really far, not bad for 10 years.
    also didn't help that cooling was a mixed bag.

      anything with those hynix chips.

      Had GTX650 with ELPIDA chips. Without cooling i've oc'd them from 5000MHz Eff to 6600MHz Eff. Card still works (but in base form) in my htpc & server.

    wouldn't it be the perfect training card for memory chips replacement ? With mats and mods you would be able to find the dead chips and replace it pretty easily. There is not a lot of components around memory, so it is a perfect card to train on it. I have the exact same issue on a platinum version of the matrix 7970, so its a pretty common issue...

    Seems like 1 of the vram modules is faulty... or the solder joints snapped and need reheating. Im betting on one or more of the 4 that got the modded heatsinks. Lovely power delivery though!

    I have a working R9 280X Matrix Platinum (rebranded HD 7970). I'll keep it for my small collection.

    Almost good win! Only memory corrupted, which is repairable.

    might be broken but it looks like someone had a ton of fun messing with it and playing games while it worked.

    Man.. Seeing how forward thinking and innovative these Enthusiast cards were then makes me wish manufactures would bring back some of these features. . Safe mode? OC +/- Buttons? Full Fan Speed!!? It's just.. Nicer.

      that stuffs around, only instead of being on a 600$ card, it's on a 2,600.00$ card.

  • @spike5552
    @spike5552 Рік тому +2

    @RETROHardware you should put some liquid flux under the GPU chip and heat it with hot air station at about 350-370°c for 30-40 sec, and it will work again. I did it to a gt730 6 years ago and it's still working today in my mom's pc still kick-ing youtube and puzzle strategy games.

    • @RETROHardware
      @RETROHardware  Рік тому +1

      Yep I known this way, still best option is remove chip out, clean place and new assembling process with new balls.

    • @spike5552
      @spike5552 Рік тому

      @@RETROHardware yes but i do not have the equipement or the skill to do that :)) so the best option is heating with hot air gun. And keep up the good videos, i enjoy them very much:)

    I hate AMD cards from ASUS, they always screw something up... My last AMD ASUS card was RX470 OC. During summer the monitor went to NO SIGNAL almost instantly after running a game. And in winter I could play maybe 10 minutes until NO SIGNAL again. I did RMA the card, they send me a new one, same problem. Turns out, ASUS put a little tiny heatsink on the VRM and it overheated so bad... Since then I stick with Sapphire and I cannot be happier.

  • @Ale.K7
    @Ale.K7 Рік тому +1

    Easy fix, put the card in the oven!!!!... (please don't ban me ;-)). Nice card, shame that Asus screwed the cooling :-(. I'm glad that at least you didn't pay much for it.

    Do you check all of video outputs? I had a few Radeons which work correctly for example: on HDMI artifacts or black screen, on DVI or display port everything fine. Greetings!

    • @RETROHardware
      @RETROHardware  Рік тому

      only one DVI, I have lot of cards with non-working some outputs but your option is quite unreal. This is bad RAM module.

  • @Skracken

    Safest bet with AMD card seems to be to go with Sapphire. Maybe not the top performer or the most bling, but they are solid. I have an RX5700, and when I researched which one to get the other manufacturers were really hit and miss. Some had poor memory cooling which lead to overheating of the VRAM, and Asus had poor contact pressure so the GPU ran hot despite having a super beefy cooler

    I have had luck soaking cards in contact cleaner then using a hair dryer around memory modules until reach 60C, spray some more under chips, heat back to 60C then let cool until room temperature, one more spray under chips + compressed air, leave overnight and they work again without oven or high heat :)

    This artifacts isnt big problem it can be easy fix by reflowing gpu chip and memory modules on the gpu.

    maybe bad solder, try reflow

    • @ToniHiltunen1980
      @ToniHiltunen1980 Рік тому

      That helps in some cases, heating up the area where memory chips are and same time pressing them down.

    • @RETROHardware
      @RETROHardware  Рік тому +1

      You can repair anything this way vs. cou can destroy anything this way because you will do new short under heated chip. For me this is not regular repair, only flick.
