How to Use a Heatgun to fix (MANY) dead Graphics Cards...

  • Today we take a look at the the stack of no longer working GPUs here at Tech YES City, and instead of sticking them in the oven like I have done in the past (...) I am going to try use my fresh new friend the Ozito Hot airgun to start baking these Graphics Card to try to bring them back!
    I also talk about potential vBios trolls and a risk that now exists in the Used GPU Market for people buying up cards without the original vbioses on them.... something I found out the hard way :(....
    Also if doing this method, make sure to keep the Hot Air Gun's max heating temperature under that of surface heating of 250c just to be safe (and not cook your PCB).

    I know there are lots of comments about Louis Rossman and his video, though I have had the second card revived now (although out of quite a few) come back to life. Others have had cards come back to life and last quite a while too, so perhaps there is something else to it....?

      His swearing and yelling is funny, but Louis is also a very smart guy and explained why this usually doesn't work or only lasts a short time. Heat doesn't just damage the solder balls. The heat expansion and contraction damages the tiny traces inside the processor substrate. The only real fix is preemptive prevention. If your GPU is running over 80C, it's going to have a short life. The hotter your electronics run, the sooner they will die. Turn you fan speed up. We've know how to prevent this damage since 2007 but manufactures insist on having quiet consoles and video cards that run into the 80C's and 90C's. They don't care as long as it lasts through warranty and they want to sell you next years GPU anyway.

    Doing this and then selling the card is 'scam', it's a temporary fix at best and therefore not ethical to sell and pass on the card. Ultimately this practice will reduce confidence in the used parts market that you and others love so much.

  • @MFG9000
    @MFG9000 5 років тому +168

    I just wanted to chime in like a lot of the others have regarding the heatgun fix for graphics cards.
    A lot of misinformation out there regarding the fix this method actually provides, some would say stuff like it helps to fix micro fractures within the soldering, and throw up these figures about certain temperature that melts solder, etc. which aren't true at all.
    Long story short: due to the constant thermal cycling, cards running and being stressed, and then rapidly cooling off after the stress session's over causes thermal cycling, and over time this process causes deterioration of the graphics chip and this can also happen to memory chips. The overall heating procedure just mimics the thermal cycling and can bring the card back to life temporarily. The fix can last for five minutes, or 5 months, depending on the severity of the damage. The best way to fix the card is to replace the faulty chip. And then there are cases where it's not the chip that's actually gone bad, but something else like a bad mosfet, or a bad VRAM chip, etc. issues that could cause the card not to work.
    So, heatgunning/oven baking is a temporary solution, and it actually lowers or ruins the chances for a proper repair of the card. What Louis Rossmann said is correct about flip chip BGA repairs, and a lot of dishonest technicians just heats up a bad laptop graphics chip or an XBOX motherboard and gives it a 90 day warranty knowing that it'll likely get by that period, and ruins the chances of having that part properly replaced and getting proper repairs done.
    I wouldn't sell the GTX 650. That card will go bad in about a month or two, even sooner if stressed frequently. The best I have seen a cooked/heated card last is a 8800 GT, which was up to 6~7 months after it got out of the oven.
    There's a channel called Eli Tech where proper GPU repair is demonstrated, you might want to check out some of his content.
    Cheers, and love your content as always.

    • @nathanhamman418
      @nathanhamman418 5 років тому +5

      As you said it depends on the degree of damage to the components on board, though it usually dies in a few short months after and before selling anything i repaired this way i would do several continuous hours of stress testing. This method goes back a ways, the earliest i remember it personally is the ps3, though i believe it was around before that. It would fix it for a month or so at most.

      @@techyescity well, the RX 570 card you yourself tried to fix is the sheer proof that this method isn't long lasting. I have seen oven baked cards last up to 7 months, then go kapoot again. This isn't a permanent fix by any means.

    • @brendanfarthing
      @brendanfarthing 5 років тому +6

      It can depend, but there is obviously no guarantee using this method as it's unscientific. There is a chance there was a dud solder ball or a crack between solder and pad and the heat gun reflowed it properly, making a permanent fix. But as you said, there is also a chance that isn't the problem and the result is only temporary. I'd only use this method if it was my own card, it was out of warranty and I had nothing else to lose by trying that. That is who this video should be targeted at and I think Bryan probably is targeting it at that person - the budget gamer trying to bring a card back to life vs buying a new one.

  • @kght222
    @kght222 5 років тому +21

    this can work, although i recommend you build a structure to support the chips underneath because if you aren't careful they will start falling off. the board isn't thick, it also doesn't have much thermal resistance. so if you melt the solder on one side, pretty good chance you have melted it on the other as well, and while surface tension should keep those little caps and resistors in place, they can fall off in this circumstance, so you want to rig up something to hold the backside in place.

      That's not a fix, because 99% of the time it is never the solder under the package, but the conncetions to the die inside the package. This is only a temporary fix that kind of remelts the bumps inside, but it will NEVER be permanent, the ONLY way to permanently fix a dead graphics card is to replace the whole GPU, but that is usually not worth it.

    @Tech YES City, like to get some advice.
    My old R9 270x (a second hand) suddenly started artifacting yesterday, after I had needed to hit reset button in testing Skyrim (?!?) (never had this happen ever before and I dunnow what caused it).
    Could the heat gun/oven method perhaps revive the card?
    The back story info.
    1) running 2 identical monitors oced to 75Hz (CVT reduced blank) and I am familiar with flickering when refresh rates are not in sync. Had that when testing if they could run higher than 60Hz. Needed the reset button a few occasions which never gave issues then.
    Also had one application force 60Hz Vsync in it's settings, thus flickering monitors. De-focus (alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del task manager) to desktop alleviated it.
    2) yesterday after I had to hit the reset button my R9 270x started artifacting.
    It was after testing a fresh Skyrim (modded with HD textures). Did had some odd monitor flickering on desktop, after testing stability up to ' min menu'. But both still ran the correct 75Hz settings.
    On starting a 'new game' (final test) resulted in heavy flickering on both monitors and Skyrim becoming seemingly keyboard "unresponsive". So decided to hit the reset button.
    3) On boot saw weird artifacts, Windows gave boot errors and only safe mode worked.
    So green artifacts (horz or vert) from my MSI bios, to MSI Gaming Win10 boot logo, to desktop elements in safe mode. Reflashed agesa 1004, just in case and in case it was a virus rolled back a full system backup image. Windows still gave boot errors.
    Safe mode DDU'd the AMD drivers, installed a old HD5770 card and booted into Windows. No issues, no artifacts!! DDU'd drivers again, reinstalled the 270x: artifacts were back. Windows with default graphics driver, but the system crashed as soon as I went to install AMD graphics drivers.
    How 1, 2 and 3 relate to the card dying. Hell I have no clue?!
    Have pulled apart (not done that since I got it, temps were always good). THEN noticed a couple VRAM modules/components had weird oily substance on it. So guess some modules never made good contact with the thermal pads and that is was now suddenly caused it to die after 2 years.
    Cleaned the card and the few components from the substance, reapplied mx4 put it back together. Still the card gives artifacts.
    So now I wonder how dead is it? And could the heatgun/oven method bring it from the brink? Or better to bin it and buy a 5500XT when it is released (was the plan anyway)
    Advice is appreciated.

If I put in discrete mode in bios, it will load to a black screen, I'll have to shut off and on, off and on until it finally boots into windows, and then it works perfectly games. If I restart, it still works. If I shut down, there is a chance it doesn't work again. I've tried another AC adapter just to see if makes a difference. Nada.

    Would this method fix the broken sensors of a 6950? I got one for free that functions just fine, but the temperature sensor reads -128 and on afterburner shows a long-ass number for the temps, making the fan work at full speed (it's a blower, so it sounds like a jet engine). Its a sapphire toxic radeon HD 6950 dual bios 2gb. Again, it works, but i don't wanna use it and make it worse.

    I tried this method on my gtx 980ti. Seems to work till this day. What i found that when you're doing this method do not move around the card too much. Let it be still when you're working on it and also let it cool down for hours. Secondly, when you put this graphic card back in position place it vertically. I noticed something over this the heat again loosens it. I dont know if you would agree with me but i found this more helpful.

    I think you might've used the wrong bios as you had to use the force option. If correct, no -f is required.
    Using atiflash to list the GPUs, or on GPU-Z or similar you can see the bios version / card identifier, it needs to match.
    I typically save the original bios before flashing new mining bios for this very same reason :)

    Cool, thanks what temperature is the pre-heat and how long do you pre-heat and what's the maximum temperature estimate?
    If the heat gun can put out 50 to 600C heat (when it's one it's at 50C right away it seems), that's a range of 550C, divide that range to 3, then multiply by 2 to get the "2/3 on the way up" which would make it 367C minus 50C coz' we didn't start from 0C, '2/3 on the way up" would finally be at: 317C most likely (it's best to have a temperature sensor). Reflow temperature is between 330C to 400C, it's still within spec but use the Nik Telio method first- conservative first.

    Back in 2005-2012 I played with heat guns to reflow the balls on the Xbox 360 boards. I realized quick the oven method wasn't worthwhile. I also realized that placing the heat gun in the correct places to reflow each problem area, based on googling symptoms, worked about the best when I could track down the problems. I had about an 80% success rate when I knew what the issues were. 50/50 otherwise.
