- If you have weird lines or other artifacts on your monitor and/or your PC keeps crashing under high GPU load, you might have a faulty graphics card. You can try to fix it by reflowing the graphics and VRAM chips as we show in this video.

Dude I was so skeptical but this video just saved my 2080 !! Thank you!!!!
update?
Thanks for the video. I will try this with my GTX970...hopefully it will start working again!
Have you managed to do it? Did you succeed? I have a faulty GTX 970 as well, and I'm looking for solutions
This will be a permanent fix ONLY if the issue is on the VRAM chips. And you will never know, because you did the reflow on both the GPU chip and the VRAM chips as well. Louis Rossman has made a video about reflow and reball.
There's another case where this is a permanent fix. If you get your GPU transported long distances, the changes in climate can cause the hygroscopic components to accumulate water. A GPU that's not acclimated will also malfunction. A blast from the heat gun can help the GPU restore a baseline level of water content and acclimate correctly, which was the case for my broken R9 270
@@TheLucidDreamer12 Yep. Sometimes a little dirt under the GPU accumulates a little bit of moist and by heating it, it is becoming dry again so it won't actually be electrically conductive no more and the "fault" would go away.
Nice and very quick video.
Always mention name on screen whatever you are using tool to fix your issue and try to reply your viewers so that they can resolve their issue.
Thanks !
Could definitely be a good idea to show the names of the tools as text as well. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks Raikkonen!
Awesome video great work
Thanks :)
Great video. Would alcohol be ok to thin down flux to make it go under the chips? My flux isn't designed to be used like this.
no the alcohol would probably evaporate off but gel flux melts and turns liquidly.
Thanks for the heads up for covering the smaller components with tape before using the heat gun. Just fixed mine! :D
Is your GPU still running fine as of today 28 Jun 2022 ???
Kindly responde to assess its life after this small surgery 😁
@@waseemlimbaliya6196 Yes. Though, sometimes it will fail again... so I just repeat the process again, and voila! :D
@@rippasama Looks like the original solder that the manufacturer used is some kind of low temp solder that does not hold sustained heat when the gpu overheats...
@@derekp9737 Definitely not. The cards often get moist under the GPU (a little bit of very fine dirt particles can hold some moist and this are messing the functioning of the GPU). By heating the GPU you dry that moist up and your card will start working again. There is no way that huge GPU chip would have melted solder balls under it without a heating plate and a temperature around 400-500 Celsius of the hot air. At 300 Celsius without a heating plate, there's simply impossible to melt the solder balls.
Smaller chips like for GTX 650 or GTX 750 may be reflowed only by using a hot air station but that chip, no way.
@@Dandan-tg6tj as I said, the manufacturer used low quality solder...it has happened so many times in the past...especially with lots of crapola imacs, and other speccific hardware...look it up. So may companies use lead free solder that melts in lower temperatures, and are part of the planned obsolesence that evil companies embraced....enough said
Don't reflow guys, always reball or it will appear again and even worse.
This wasn't a reflow by no means.
i need to try with pny 1060 6gb but it doesn't recognises the driver ? it does give me lines on the screen same as you . Am i meant to put flux all over or just on memory chips which are only 2 sides as its hynix ?
hi...can yoy tell me what is the tape and the first liquid that you have used and what for you use that....
The tape is heat resistant tape which, as the name suggests, can withstand the heat the hot air gun generates. The first liquid is liquid no-clean soldering flux that helps the solder under the graphics chip form proper solder joints with the board and that also doesn't have to be cleaned before using the GPU.
Thanks to you, my video card is now dead😢
This method isn't actually what fixes the card. That kind of artifacting means a dead/dying core or vram bank. Reflowing the solder does not fix that. It just messes with the inside of the dying chip to give it a little more life. To properly fix an issue like that you need to replace a chip.
I like to watch this graphics card repairing video I have a GTX 760 vga card same problem
Did you manage to fix it?
I too have GTX 760 zotac blower edition
With same issue
@@IRONMAN-mg7dk
+1
@@IRONMAN-mg7dk +2 I've had two variants of the 760 and I've got one to work again with heat gun and flux.
Other one would probably work but I don't think I used flux on it and that could probably fix it.
Before I try to fix it. Were u able to install the driver before u fix it
this is only a temporary fix your gpu will do it again
and the only way to fix it is either to replace the main chip or the core or buy a new gpu
my graphics card is like this but i have nothing to do is there any other simple ways???
There's absolutely no way you were able to melt the solder balls under THAT GPU. That's a type of GPU you need heating table and a pretty powerful air soldering station. More like there was dirt under the GPU and by heating it, you managed to dry that thingie so now, electrically, it does not do what it did before. That's the only way this may work.
You are very cute.
We have bought pretty much everything used in this video from eBay for very cheap. I think the total might be under 100€. So depending on how valuable you faulty gpu is, it might or might not be worth it. Also note that this fix might not last forever or work at all, it is a mixed bag when reflowing a chip and not reballing it properly.
what name of flux u will use??
This is not a fix. Fix would be to reball it.
Its not PlayStation where dye and substrate separate, the issues with GPUs is substrate separate from the PCB which needs to be reballed.
That was probably a fix, for a while. The dirt under the GPU chip probably got some moisture messing with the functioning of the GPU chip so when he dried it, the card started working again. Anyway, that dirt is not gone and eventually will accumulate moisture again. Reballing the chip would definitely clean that dirt so yes, reballing the core is the right thing to do.
Nice video I started getting artifacts lines if I put tiny overclock on the memory I remember I used to do +370 on mem and a few days ago I could only do +120 , on stocks seems to run fine still ,and now even with +120 on mem will artifacts and just black out , is a gigabyte gtx1080 3 years old just happen right after the warranty expired , I repasted and new pads but issue still there , if I start getting this issues on stock memory clocks then i will have to try your method , thanks for showing the video
If lowering the clocks helps, this fix will most likely not work. Silicon degrades over time, and if you can't sustain as high clock speeds as before, it is most likely due to that, and not your solder joints going bad.
@@KrupsFilms thanks for responding and I actually have a few more details, if I overclock the memory before runing anything it works just like normal, but I notice if I want to change that memory speed on the go then it artifacts and I get video scheduled internal error.
So in others words I can't not change memory speed ( OC ) when a game is already running , but before loading it I do can apply overclock to the memory
Unless you physically removed the voltage limits and over volted your card, no on screen overclocking will physically damage your card, that is a myth. Unless you over volt the card by removing built in safety limits by doing a vcard bios flash then all you need do is remove the OC software and then boot back into windows reinstall that OC software and use better settings.
@@KrupsFilms Hello, are you in USA so I can send you my graphic card for a fix? It's a Radeon RX570. please let me know.
hi my rtx 2070 was overheat and ctd, so i put conductonaut and my temps drop about -16c° but still ctd in some games after 15 to 20 min and show some black lines only in games, what else can i do to try fix it
Is your 2070 overclocked? If you're seeing lines or other artifacts, I would try to lower the core and memory clocks a bit and see if that helps.
@@KrupsFilms lines appear in automobilista 2 only if i set multisampling, and after undervolt begin to work properly for a month after that again ctd but now work fine if all set to stock
It's always the big fat hot gpu on these cards never the ram that causes those lines.
It will appear again its only a temporary fix which sometimes works not always its better to reball as the solder balls are cracked or either vram or core is the problem if you have knowledge and time then you could reball
wait, ram actually can cause screen artifacts?
Hello I have tried reflow to my artifacts GPU and first time it was good and after 5 days GPU go artifacts again. So i tired again with heat gun and using flux and I clean the flux with methylated spirit alcohol by sinking GPU. But nothing comes to my monitor showing no signal. How can i fix. Pls help me. Thanks
If you tried this 2 times already and the GPU only got worse, the chances are that it cannot be fixed like this. If the GPU is worth enough that you absolutely want to save it, reballing it could help, but that is much harder to do.
I have palit stormx 1050ti 4gb graphics card after driver install line in display problem without driver working fine any idea what problem?
i repaired my graphc card with the same issue but after 2 days it have the same issue can u help me out with this
is there any solution that i can do becuase i dont have that tools to use
Hello my RTX 2080 have this problem , 300degres gonna damage the processor of th gpu no ?
If my pc fixer nor work i will do it...
Your gpu is still under warranty, isn't it? Definitely don't do this if you can get a new one under warranty.

hey tell me both bottles names or liquid
Nice video i see you used a period appropriate operating system to run the before and after test , a lot of big youtubers test old cards on windows 10 and cry failure because their too belligerent to realize they are not giving the graphics card the right hardware to run on.
Is thermal paste important?
Yes, its crucial man.
My quardo 600 same problem ho how it
Is the gpu still alive, or is it just a temporary fix like everyone says?
@@animalyze7120 A lot of people said that it doesn't melt the solder and its just a temporary solution, didn't work for me anyways
@@animalyze7120 It's not the solder balls. Doing this does not reflow the solder to the board. Its inside the chip.
It’s temporary. Did this maybe 2-3 weeks ago and I got the BSOD and dots on the screen again. I recommend not overclocking your gpu to prevent issues

Brother... my GPU gtx 1050 ti got garbage display ,box, rainbow color.
tech. says memory corrupted... what the best way to restore it?
The cheap way is to follow this tutorial. If this fix doesn't work, you might have a defective graphics and/or VRAM chip. In that case you would have to identify and replace the faulty chip.
@@KrupsFilms in my place technician cant do it . Ahaha so sad. My gpu is hot . 🙅
Well you could try to do it yourself. Assuming you are out of warranty, you have nothing to lose by trying to fix it. If reflowing the graphics and memory chips doesn't help, replacement memory chips are fairly cheap.
@@KrupsFilms do you know what memory chip suit for 1050 ti ?
@@KrupsFilms DO you know any websites that sells GDDR5 chips? Can't seem to locate any. With the GPU shortage, might as well try reviving my RX 570.
This is temporary solution, if you see grapfic artifact that are caused by a video card, its 99% a problem with GPU crystal, heating it will fix it for 1-2 month at best. Sadly its just dead.
Everything is temporarily, nothing works forever, who cares if it works 2 days or 2 months, what options do you have, when warranty is expired?
The heating doesnt fix the GPU chip, this method works assuming the GPU chip is fine but with weak solder joints. Reballing is a more sure way, but if it doesnt work after a reball then the GPU chip is totally dead.
hey will a new gpu work
Hey bro what type of flux are u using brand and specs please ? and do u need to clean that flux out and how?
I think the heat gun does the job of cleaning the flux out
Hey i have a quadro 6000 and my boot-up looks EXACTLY the same as the boot-up in the beginning of this video. i think i will try it out and see if this fix works out for me. I suppose i should make a video of it. would anyone like to see it?
you didnt post it...
@@ikkgaming4347 thats because i didn’t shoot the footage. Sorry. However it did indeed work. I used my hotAir rework station. I aimed it at the gpu at full power. Tuned to about 430c i measured the temp on the gpu and was 280c by the time the hot air reaches the gpu. Let it sit for about 20minuets. I made sure to push down on the gpu with a screwdriver as it was cooling. That was about a month ago. Working fine.

anyone see the fact he didnt show what GPU he put back in i didnt see no orange fans on the GPU he stuck back in
I can hear that you are from Finland
How long do the cards last after this repair?
This method does not actually repair the card. But it can give an extra few hours up to a week or even a month if your lucky.
The issues shown in this video are caused by a dead or dieing VRAM bank or the GPU core itself. Reflowing does not fix this, it just messes with the inside of the chip to give it a bit more life in some cases. To properly fix the issue, a chip needs to be replaced.
@@Matthew_Scarecrow Do you know of any good videos to determine if it's the vram or the memory bank in the gpu that is bad? I've got a lot of cards here I need to work out if I should be changing the ram or the gpu

Bro my graphic card showing yellow screen can U plz help
Is this permanent or temporarily solution?
Temporary, depends how well you do it, I fixed mine and it worked for 3 years!
@@stivenostas1185 share your story of fixing gpu which lasted 3 yrs
For the love of all that is good and holy, don't do this. It's a real, true fix about 5% of the time. In 95% of cases you outright destroy the card, making it unable to be fixed from it's fixable fault OR you heat the GPU chip enough to temporarily make the short go away...but it will come back and heating it will stop working even temporarily.
Again, 5% of the time the issue is a damaged/cracked/disconnected solder joint in or under the GPU chip. 5% MAYBE, I'd actually call it lower but I'll go with 5%.
Don't do this if you actually want to fix your card. Take the money you would spend on a heat gun and buy a multimeter. Learn how to use it, learn how to diagnose faulty GPUs and enjoy fixing your card for good and a cool new hobby.
Baking your GPU is for absolute amateurs and is up there with wrapping your Xbox 360 in a towel to fix RROD, lol.
Sounds like you need to make a video and show us the light...not trying to be a smart us.

@@rottenfist220 fixed friends vid card with heat gun and temp gun. Stop at 180c just to get a slight melting point on GPU chip.
@@Saint-JGJK tech cemetery channel
@@rottenfist220 Just because it works for you does not automatically increase the success rate of the entire procedure. What likely occured is a temporary fix as he mentioned. To permanently and properly fix the card, learn how to diagnose it, and find the chip that needs to be replaced. Look up "Mats and Mods VRAM test", it's a great place to start with VRAM diagnosis. Unfortunately it only works for Nvidia cards though.
I had same problem. After I made steps in this video the graphic card started OK. But only for one day.
Then after I start PC it make 1 long and 3 short beeps (= Graphic card error) and screen is still black but from speakers i hear that the Windows is started. When I removed graphic card and use integrated one, then PC worked properly.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Unfortunately, this is the nature of reflowing. It might work for a very long time, or, like in your case, work only for a day. But, 1 day is a very short time. I think you didn't heat it enough when reflowing. You could try reflowing it again with more heat.
@@KrupsFilms you should mainly make complete reball, not just reflow
better go for a reball. As long as it displays the GPU chip should be fine. It's really hard to do without a rework station lead free solder is tough to melt. You will also need a stencil for the specific GPU and lead balls.
Bro is this a permanent solution?
No, reflowing usually give you a few days to a few month at max, there has been cases where it has completely fixed the issue but it's russian roulette.
