Okay. Story time. The second graphics card is mine. The burn resistor on the top is Arkansas' greatest repair shop. That card is liquid cooled and one day I made a mistake while putting on a water connector. Smacked that resistor and it broke off. I took it to a local repair shop and that's the repair he gave me. Cooked the damn thing. Worked fine until one day it just died. Assumed it was the mosfet (which I'm seeing now it was) and decided to shell out the money for the repair to NorthridgeFix. Honestly seeing this video was hilarious because I expected him to find it. Just didn't know how bad I would be roasted for it.
Edit: Thank you for cleaning that piece too. I'm sure my bill will see it haha.
That explains the Capacitor that was laying under the 12v coil...
Great videos but to much soldering station Ect to buy, really in each video?? For the 5 new viewers
@@jeroenvtechey, man gotta hustle...😏 he's gotta house to pay for 😌
Alex since it is a known issue I suspect people should class act against a faulty product to get a free repair / recall? I tjink you'd prefer the former rather than the latter though
Why would you trust ANYONE in ARKANSAS with anything electronic. I lived there... LOL!!!!
"i just burned two fingers, thats why we have ten" Dude is killing me
"I just burned two fingers that's why we have ten", I can tell this man is a legend!!!
I watched many repair videos but your videos are the most eazy to learn from the first time 👍 you are the best teacher ماشاء الله
This is why I avoid Gigabyte products (they already had a reputation for being unreliable, so I wasn't shocked that their power supplies literally exploded at one point, not to mention I head their motherboard RMA's are a total nightmare). But yeah, I love just leaving these videos in the background. There's a certain zen about your calmness while tinkering with complex hardware I absolutely admire.
What about MSI and ASRock ?
@@prathmeshpatil6425 I've used MSI builds for years and haven't had issues (one of my favorite brands) and...Asrock, I never tried myself. To my knowledge, MSI just sucks with pre-builts and the odd motherboard issues I thankfully never had :P. But yeah, I'd like to hear the major issues MSI has, I always thought it was one of the better brands out there.
@@MndCtrII have an MSI MPG X570 motherboard and it works just fine for 3 years now. The audio ports on the back are all messed up but all of my headsets are wireless USB anyway. Everything else on the board is good and stable.
I won't buy MSI anymore for how they try to pay reviewers to redact poor reviews of their products.
@@QactisX Ah, interesting. Didn't know MSI went down that route...not surprised though, everyone seems to do the dirty these days :P.
its because they have shitty fuses and theres a chip that also sucks and goes out all the time. Gigabyte was probably scammed on some of there stuff and but ran it anyways
I just ordered a Framework 16 laptop 2 days ago. Batch 9 won't ship until Q1... Thankfully I'm not in a hurry. Would love to see you work on that motherboard, especially since it's your first.
The one in the middle is the one that has the most trouble dissipating heat so it would make sense that it is the same one. Needs a better way to get the heat out of there without saturating that one area.
Nice job, Alex! These cards are still worth a decent amount so im sure the customer is happy.
Hey Alex! Did you notice the one desoldered 0402 cap below the 12V coil @13:50 ?
Alex that cap for mosfet NO 5 up replasment moset if U look in 5:54
I haven't worked on that card yet. I'll check it out when i get to it.
@@NorthridgeFix well damn, I think you said seconds after 13:50 "we're done" 😕.
@@NorthridgeFix We're talking about the first card, not the second one.
13:58 SMD flying left of fuse 😅
I love watching your repair videos. thanks for all the instruction you provide
Yoooo! Thats my card! I have to watch until the end now... No skipping lol.
I hope you do a video on that Framework board - having one of their laptops, I'll be curious to see how easily the boards are repaired.
Agreed!
Date codes tell you a lot. Many years ago, I kept getting failed boards back from our customers on our product. After replacing the same failed chip constantly for weeks I noticed the same manufacturer and same date code was only failing. We went to the MFG and they started giving us replacement chips for our products.
Can you start producing reports like Blackblaze does for hard drives for number of GPU failures per manufacturer you have received? That would be useful to read. ❤
The problem is that any repairman will only see defective items, you won't get a proper ratio of failures to sold inventory. You won't know if a maker have a higher percentage of failures or if the repair shop receive lots of them because it's a popular brand/item. The best that they could do is show how many of the brought items were fixable, but you would still be missing data on items that break again after the repair is done.
Edit: obviously a report on common occurrences on products is helpful to reduce time diagnosing why the failure happened.
On the second card there seems to be a solder blob between two resistors next to the memory cap you cleaned because of liquid damage.
This channel is great. Helps me avoid poorly made products on the market.
"And I just burned two fingers, but that's okay, thats why we have ten." 🤣🤣🤣
Dont let OSHA hear that.
It still boggles my mind how these gaming laptop manufacturers get away with selling defective products at such a high price.
Your smile is priceless when you fix something 🙂 Nice, can you recommend a decent multimeter?
يعطيك الصحة و العافية خويا لعزيز و الله محترف من الدرجة الأولى الصراحة غرت منك لأني من نفس الميدان ربي يحفظك و يباركلك فعمرك و أهلك
a Framework laptop, that could be an interesting vid
I dont think it's gigabyte 3090s only. It's the whole line of gigabyte products. Seems some of their mobos are prone to failures.
And of course Gigabyte won't recall these due to a manufacturing defect. At the least they need to pay for the repairs that people like you are doing, this should not be something the customer has to pay for. Although I suppose these customers could have RMAed the cards and Gigabyte would have/should have fixed them.
Gigabyte : Best I can do is stick an arrow sticker and ship it back.
I would be curious to learn what PSU is in their computer. All the same.
A few years ago my video card was streaking lines. Thinking the card was overheating, I redid the paste. Helped but no fix. Finally, I removed and tore down the PSU only to find two filter caps badly leaking and swollen. I replaced them and that fixed the issues.
I'm glad I sold my Gigabyte 3090 Ti on ebay before it failed. Seems like it would have been just a matter of time.
3090TIs tend to have much beefier, more robust VRMs than plain 3090s. Buildzoid (@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking) made a video on this a while back.
Excellent repair video
+ the accent is a bonus
Gigabyte this company has become a real disaster
Always a great and worthwhile video. Thank you!
Good job mate 👍
Alex instead of waiting for JayTwoCents to come up with an issue. Next time you have a cpu pin issue call him for collaboration with you over his shoulders.💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice job, impressive how you are able to fix these. Thanks for sharing
Yay! It works! Thanks alot! Now I gotta make a video about this video lol.
Well if the Framework motherboard is unfixable at least one can get a new one from Framework... :/
yes but u still pay alot cash for it cause cpu and gpu (if dedicated) are stil soldered to it
Framework also provides schematic of the board layout for troubleshooting I'm pretty sure. I glanced through manual when I got my framework laptop 13
This shit your doing is badass and I think its cool! Your like a micro technician able to isolate issues on circuit boards and fix them where it cost $1,000+ to just get a new one when its like probably $2 worth of components and your skills to make them work again probably without the issue ever happening again and upgraded too!
Dude got me wanting to solder and I bought one. Working on a project to put SK6812 LEDs under/above my kitchen cabinets wired to a ESP32 board with WLED installed on it.
Another Giga-Bytes the dust xD
Love the GPU repair videos. Very informative and keep up the great work man 👍
Was that an English lady I heard there...? If so, waves from old blighty :D
Great work once again, today I develop an SW pre-amplifier, only for the RX side. I make them myself for many years, it brings an extra of 22db, and it has no connectors, just to minimize lost. And then I have to repair a limiter/ compressor, 2 new pot meters. I tried to fix it with Caig, But that failed. So new ones.
I admire you and your skills, I really do. Good work.
Back in the early 00s i had many gigabyte mainboards returning to shop with decayed and busted caps. That experience will always remind me to stay away from gigabyte.
I think it really just depends. I had a Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super for 4 years and I never had a single problem with it, and I ran it overclocked the entire time I had it. I just upgraded to a RTX 3080 a few months ago and sold the 2070 Super to a friend and he's been using it also with no issues.
Was on a waiting list for 3090, 9 months, got it and it died in 2 weeks. Black screen and fans full speed (a reboot of pc it came back) . Thought maybe power supply so got a new Corsair HX 1200. It did ity 2 more times and 3rd time it was done.. Waited 3 months to get a replacement (warranty but cost $60 bucks to insure and ship back). The 4090 was out so got one of them ( no issues so far but did not get a Gigabyte again) and the 3090 is still in the box new from warranty. lost a boatload on that one.. Liked Gigabyte but after that, i am not sure I will buy again. Online there were many horror stories on these cards.
WHY would YT turn off my all notification bell on this channel 3xs this week and takes thumbs away after trying 5xs this week on 2 videos ....
I always check after refresh to support awesome content creators ..
Grrrr , at this point its almost impossible to watch content on without looking for content..
would be awesome if u had content on another platform :-)
Came in for repair.
hey when are you planning to do the collab with JayzTwoCents ?
Next one you will make sure it is the sames DRMOS? That would be interesting.... Why that one specificlly? Heat creep on that part of the board? Electrical issue specific to that line....
Paterns are interesting :-)
Hey Alex, thanks for uploading, that was an awesome vid!
Could you please work on the Framework board next? I know a third of it seems to be a BIG deal, especially because it's water damage related but still..
Anyway if that's possible, let's get to know the board and learn from your job. If not, that's fine (:
Why you don't use the automatic hot point search option of the flir camera ? Also flir has the MSX mode that's give you an hybrid view combining the digital and thermal sensors
BURNS : I keep in my fridge door, easily accessible place a Magical Burns Treatment cream : It has Ag+ Ions ( Silver ions). We have here Silverol and BurnCare, noth are used in hospitals. ANY burn : put cream, 20s and the pain is gone (1st degree burn) and you just forget you got burned. No marks no nothing. Magic !
Awesome Video!
It really isn't acceptable to have components that cost thousands failing so often. This is a fairly recent phenomenon and I don't know if it's incompetent engineers or cheap sub-standard parts.
I nominate you to be the tech guy voice for South Park (a new character)!
since you are replacing with the same one won't the new one just short again???
That decision is on the customer. Technicians already know this.
13:50 this capacitor shouldn't be there right?
it is from other place... there are no solder pads there... i guess it's working without a filter cap from somewhere
That's the reason why I alway pay a little bit extra for a graphics card like Asus Strix for example. Really sad to see how bad gigabyte had become, because they used to be good in the early 2000's.
Yes sir, you purchased a Gigabyte card? Well, if it isn't broken now, you will be back soon enough. Have a nice day.
How many watts is that hot air tool? With no real experience I'd be afraid of burning the board getting the old part off and burning the new part installing?
Another thought... Why do the mosfets keep blowing?
1. Cheap components [China?]
2. Running them at or close to their current limit and or inadequate heat sinking
3. Poor circuit design
#3??? I've known audio amplifiers that use mosfets in parallel will be designed with a .05ohm resistor from each mosfet drain to the circuit bridge bar. This is to account for differences in resistance and turn on times based upon variables in manufacturing. If they were to use matched mosfets, the resistors would not be needed. Even with matched sets, degradation over time would come into play in a negative way.
I had the same problem ... Gigabyte fixed it for me
The same location twice for the same failure. Hmmmm! The engineers responsible for designing this video card are at the same location too. They are standing right next to the water cooler bragging what a great card this is. Well, the customer should be pleased that it was repaired quickly.
I'm wondering about the value of 20 amp for a fuse. Where should this high current come from, ? what is the normal current there. A 20 amp fuse didn:t blow at 20 A it needs more.
Did you experience the big Northridge quake, back in 1993?
Glad I have an evga one, been good so far
My evga 3080 FTW3 ultra died the other day, still have Warranty tho, so currently in the process of rma
@@iv3r that sucks, but good that the warranty covers it
7:05 i like to put boards in a toaster oven on low heat just to heat soak the board. Makes it easier to get components off with the hotair. Just have to be careful to not go to hot for the caps or plastic parts to get damaged.
20 Amp over such small traces still boggles my mind...
woow. nice to see people use Framework laptops
3090 gigabyte example of fail engineering sample
could you use a thermal camera gadget that you can connect to your phone? Cuz a normal one is pretty expensive
Now who ever has gigabyte cards be like "it was the moment that he knew, he F-Up" 😂😂😂
insane a 1600 dollar card from 3 years and 10 months ago dies due to shitty components and there is no RMA possibility.
awesome job!
Please show us your new premises
its kinda like youtube if you comment and realise you misspelled and edit you get retuned error no picture
Watching this just after receiving my GIGABYTE 3070 EAGLE and about to start building my first ever PC...
Should I be worried???
Good luck my friend!
How much should i charge for such a repair? If if i am to buy such a card how much should i pay for it. Question
thats crazy same issue with same brand card
Great job! Did y0ou fix the second card in a similar manner as well, Alex?
Jeez , Gigabyte is losing their touch , first exploding brand new PSU's , breaking PCIe connectors on GPU's and now, notorious AL00 mosfet issues 😂
Do the Gigabyte 4090s have the same issue, or did they learn their lesson?
O.k. you got the hardware in the bank. Do you do any software?
Thank you love ya vids bud.
What school do you have go to learn this type of work in South African
I wish this video would support the Arabic translation feature, but it lacks that
Gigabyte and MSI have been shitting the storm lately..
good that iam over 40 and have a child. My 4090 never gets hot enough with my 2 hours time max for Gaming per week.
How can this failure be avoided?
Dont do Gigabyte gpu nor psu
Avoid gigatrash products.
@@vincentvega3093 what about motherboards
@@rsgxyt Motherboards from Gigabyte is Shit.. i mean just shit.. why? just every Z690 or X570/X670 have Coil whining on PowerPhase... its pretty loud even bios doesn't help just google on youtube coil whining the most problems have gigabyte boards...
@@rsgxytgood for low budget mobo
nicely done. why do people still buy gigabyte garbage?
Good old Gag-a-bite.
This channel is cool, but it needs more random real-estate videos.
nice work
ah yes gigglebyte at it again
I won't be getting a gigabyte card any time in the near future that's for sure. They're trouble cards now, from SMD's going bad to PCB cracking, they're pretty much junk imo. I own a gigabyte GTX 960 and haven't had one issue to date and still works flawless. Evidently gigabyte dropped the ball on quality with newer cards.
Should I stay away from Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090? Very close from getting it.
Been using a 3090 for two years as a paper weight. I'll never purchase from Gigabyte again. Best part is I overpaid for the card, so it'll only temper my hate for the company. 😁
your a legend bro!
Why are your probes bent, any reason or do you keep dropping them. If I buy them do they come bent, like yours... 😊
Very nice sir ✌
My gigabyte 3090 & 3080 ti failed.
They are utter trash.😊
but do we get an 8 finger discount? lol
Where can i get those mosfets? havent been able to find it online to try and fix my board
why you when you move the board, the temperature image fluctuates, so annoying. the board is cold, why even we should see red regions
Hey Alex? How can I reach out to you? I tried the contact us in your website, I have not received any reply
Take the hint.
In the Video it looks as if you only connect the graphics card to the power supply for testing without plugging it into a Mainboard (PC).... How does that work???
