    FYI - So UA-cam in its infinite wisdom has picked up this video to showcase my channel... This isn't one of my good videos. It was just a chill-out ramble video I made in the christmas wash - that week or so before Christmas when you've finished everything that needs to be done before the holiday and there's not much else happening.
    Another time I probably would've thrown out this video because as numerous others have pointed out, it's a solution I should've found in five minutes. Also the customer did swap out to dual PCI-E power cables afterwards - so rest easy on that.

    The melting around the power supply pins at 32:20 is similar to the recent (late 2022) spate of issues regarding the PCIE 12VHPWR connector used with Nvidia RTX 40 series cards. In both cases the melting is caused by incomplete insertion of the power connection.

      Have you tried resolve again? GPU acceleration is now supported and export speeds are, in my opinion, rapid.

    Saw your video on diagnosing shorts and then scrolled through your videos to see if I could find a repair that’s related to my issue and voila! This Xmas video is exactly what I’m going through.
    My 2080 ti fan spins at 100% and won’t post. Going to replicate exactly what you did here to rule issues with the power supply out.
    I had switched my card from PCIe slot 1 to 2 and it temporarily fixed my issue and now my card won’t post when starting it up cold.
    So I took the card apart and the original thermal paste application was poor so I reapplied paste. It worked temporarily when I booted it up but the next day it didn’t post until I let it run for a few hours and restarted it
    It’s currently working now but my computer won’t sleep automatically and it just stays on. I know as soon as I turn it off it won’t post. So thank you for your videos, tutorials, real world examples and I’ll make sure to spread the word.

    23:13 If you mount the radiator with the tubes down it may not look as nice, but it will reduce/prevent "splashing" sound and increase the lifespan of the pump. Because the way you are mounting it, air will collect at the top where the pump is and it might not get as lubricated/cooled as it should. That is, if that radiator has a pump at the input/output.

    Power supply issue, you just said it as I typed it. Loose connection or not enough real power going to it. Old video but, this is rather fun. I would put a volt meter in the + and - of "My" video power plug 8-pins to see the voltage and see what is actually going on. Customer's I'd be extremely careful and know what I'm doing (make sure the prongs can't touch or create other issues). My stuff is junk compared to a customer rig (no matter if it's cheaper quality or not, I don't want to pay for un-needed repairs. But BINGO you found the problem I bet. Ouch FORCED Entry, and bet it's zapped many times. Ouch! Power supply side look okay? I have to say, I really didn't expect to see that result for that issue. Expected the card to have some problem, but trying a different power supply would have led to seeing the problem (hopefully). Good call on 1st time build/loose plug @ power supply.

    @lesleymunro4964 4 роки тому +23

    One thing I'd like to point out, you only used one cable to the GPU, with the two plugs on it. I'm not a fan of the small pigtails like that, as it puts all the current for the GPU onto one connector at the PSU side. It's not spreading the load, increasing the current on the pins at the PSU side, and therefore the heating. On high power cards (>200W) I would always use two separate cables from the PSU to the GPU, as it lowers the current on each pin on the PSU, provide more conductors up to the GPU, and generally lower any voltage drop to the GPU (And heating of the cables and pins).
    Not saying it can't be done the way you have it, especially if you are in a bind, but if you have the option, I'd try and use individual cables between the PSU and each GPU power connector.
    The pins are technically rated at 13A, if they are to Molex Mini-Fit Jr. specs, but then if you have a bad connection, or bad seating like in this case, that's gonna drastically reduce the current carrying capacity, and lead to excessive heating, as you seen here.
    Note to newbies - make sure your connectors are FULLY seated in the socket, or things start melting.

      @Xcepter that depends on the PSU. With a 650W-750W you definitely need to split the load between the rails.
      With a 1200W I haven't had issues at any point running the Sapphire Nitro+ Vega64 powered by a single cable - undervolted/OCd.
      You are all correct however that it is better practise to split the power load with 2 cables, both for the PSU strain and GPU performance.

    • @mihailstanev8867
      @mihailstanev8867 4 роки тому

      But you guys are missing the poin that the PCIe power might be split on 2 different rails and might have a small voltage difference that would stress the VRMs.
      Both cases have negatives.

    • @Soverax
      @Soverax 4 роки тому

      @@mihailstanev8867 The voltage differences produced are usually negligible and the stress on the VRMs is hardly noteworthy.
      If you connect both PCIe cables to the same rail you are more likely to notice performance decrease / throttling due to the OCP rather than the GPU VRM. If you connect them to PCIe slots on separate rails you are easing the load on the PSU and literally just letting the VRM do the job it's supposed to do, and that's regulate the voltage. Considering the cooling of the VRM is adequate, which manufacturers make sure that it is, it is not a point to concern yourself with.

    Just for anyone whos wondering this is my PC and i brought it in to Graham. It is my first time build and know i made mistakes. The cable into the PSU seemed like it had clipped in but after having problems i knew it needed to be fixed by a professional.

    I could be wrong, but... If I remember correctly my RM850x (a black one) is NOT compatible with Type3 Corsair cables but only Type4. I know I'm late to the party... But you can tell your customer to check that out.

    Discovered this as UA-cam subscribed, it's unfortunate that that small error of not making sure everything is fully pushed in. But any first time builder can't make mistakes I did with my very first ever Athlon Barton 2500+ back in 2000. I didn't connect the power supply to the cable that goes to the wall lol thought I'd instantly bricked my system.
    But I'd of contacted the customer and have told him the error and he'd have to buy a new PSU

    I didn't expect that this random video could raise me so many questions about my build. I had gpu stability problems (rx 5700xt LOL) and I solved it by using instead of the standard split 8 pin + 8 pin cable, 2 separate cables coming from the psu 12v rail. Thing is, my PSU is an RM 750i, basically the same one. According to msi afterburner's graphs, I wasn't getting enough power before, but if that card can be driven by a single cable, why can't mine? It is just using 290W at peak,and 62 amps should be more than enough for my gpu. Is my psu crippled or what? 🤔

      I second JP's question... You can top mount a rad with this case with certain mobo and RAM combinations. Likewise if the GPU is 280 or less you can front-mount the rad.

    I have 3 1080 Ti cards of this Asus variety, and only one of them has had this 3x-fan-at-100%-speed issue, and it only occurs after the card hit around over 55~60°C. Which likely means this is an issue with the card's BIOS or with it's software-set thermal curve.

  • @-yeme-
    @-yeme- 4 роки тому

    coming at this from a general electronics background, once a high current connector is arc/heat damaged it MUST be replaced before further use. even if the quick fix works that connection will now be high resistance, that means heat, that means potential for more damage in the future and maybe worse. at the very least I would have checked the temperature of that connector after the graphics test to see if its heating up when the card draws current.

    I take it the plug was like you say either arcing or it was that the other pins wern't connected in and that resulted in tons of current going through a single pin and therefore lots of heat. although the arching would explain why the LED's/power was flicking like mad due to voltage spikes.

      1. Try different screwdrivers to see if any others can get purchase, no two screwdrivers are the same. Two different brands of P0 will often be slightly different.
      2. Take the mobo out of the case and put it down on a sheet of cardboard so you can properly press down on the screwdriver as you turn it. Lots of pressure, high torque low speed, be careful.
      3. If it's completely mullered, I mask of the area with paper towels and use a dremmel to cut a slot across the screw, and then take it out with a large slotted screw driver. This is risky if you're not used to a dremmel, but always works if you're handy with one.
