@msigamingofficial - the customer invested good money into supporting your company and brand, you have let him down due to a manufacturing defect, you are letting yourselves down by only offering positive words. Take positive action and make things right for the customer. Identify the batch in question and reach out to your distributors and get any affected cards reworked before anymore serious failure occurs and get in front of the timebomb.
It’s common for things like this to happen in factory, they spend millions on quality control procedures to ensure anything like this is found and taken care of, but looks like this one slipped through
i wish repairers like you were available in my country so i didnt have to scrape my pc component just because of some minor short circuits or faults that my local repairers were unable to fix you are a blessing to those who are able to get ur expertise
And what about the connectors you replace, do you get any returning customers with the same issue again? It would be nice to know if after replacing the connector the problem is solved for good.
@@davidlguerr You sir are onto something! It looks like all those brands want to sell more gpu's. 95% or more of the failure cards are 3rd party. So that seems not like an Nvidia issues but a brand issue! If northridgefix is true in his statement it proves that the issues is not in the design, but the used connector/solder/failed process at factory 3rd party. BTW you have it the other way around. Factory is good. 3rd party fail over and over!
@@davidlguerr Maybe, with the boards being so thick, and the manufacturer using high melt solder, solder isn't flowing all the way through and it's making a poor connection on the board and heat transfer to through pins and just melts the connectors and the real issue is the soldering job from factory.
Is there no warranty given on these cards in the USA? Here in the UK we have consumer rights that provide at least a 12 month warranty and it is the retailer’s responsibility to offer a repair, replacement or refund.
And this is when we should raise suspicion on some of these stories. This dude said that he only had the card for 5 months. The manufacturer gives the U.S. 1 year on GPU's. Some retailers offer additional extended warranty replacement. And also, if the card was burning so much to trigger the smoke detector why isn't there any signs of burning on the card?
There's a warranty. And your GPU will end up stuck in RMA hell for 3 months. If you have 4080 money and are in the same area as Northridge Fix, why bother, when this repair probably cost less than $100 and was done fast. Retailers have no responsibility in the warranty process in the US. Also, what a lot of people don't know is that QC in the industry has gone to sh*t. I've had more RMAs, DOAs and underperforming new hardware in the past 3 years than in the previous 30. I sent back a Sapphire Pulse RX6600 to Amazon with the stated reason, 'GPU benchmarks 20% below Passmark GPU test average'. The reason why is because they made an RX6600 with a die that should probably have gone into an RX 6500XT or maybe even an RX6400. So two mistakes had to happen - It shouldn't have been binned as a 6600 by AMD and Sapphire should have rejected it. These days, I'd rather buy used. At least the GPU has been properly tested, lol. If someone already used it for 2 years and it still works, it will go the distance.
The unleaded solder separates under high current and becomes resistive. Your only suppose to use it with a couple amps at most. There are all kinds of unleaded solder some can handle higher current but it will still separate over time. I am surprised the pulse currents in the power supply have not unsoldered the pulse diodes.
@@doityourself3293 Very interesting. What do you mean by seperate? Seperate from the holes on the PCB or does the solder itself seperate into its ingredient metals.
Just because they said that they were aware of the issue does not imply fault. You are correct that this is a manufacturing error and for MSI to acknowledge that would be unheard of. Good luck getting satisfaction from this issue.
Great job Alex! In industry ,you don't want something made on a Friday or a Monday ! But in the days of computerized manufacturing that might not be the case . But in this instance ,maybe!
HOLY CRAP... That was a bad Solder job on that Board for sure!!! It never had solder on that point..... Alex, What temp did you use for preheating the board?
I remember from steve's tour from gamer nexus at the cooler master factory, they have this auto thermal compound applier it dispenses the exact amount and spreads it evenly.
@@TechTalkTobiSame here on a 3090, ironically a gaming X trio one, had since launch day, overclocked and no issues. I refuse to upgrade to 50 series, until they figure out these connectors or replace them, i used this as an opportunity to upgrade my CPU and platform to DDR5/PCIE 5 instead, I’ll not buy a GPU with a 12HPWR connector.
The other problem with the card is the failure to detect undercurrent at that connector (bios). Dude's motherboard got a heck of a workout keeping that card fed.
MSI should absolutely give that customer a brand new card, AND compensate Northridge for the work done. I was already set on never buying MSI components again because of my own personal experiences. Time for them to pay for their mistakes and earn back some goodwill.
Just a though, It makes me wonder if the connector design is not the whole problem, but maybe how well manufactures solder them to the board. Most of the cards I see Alex fix, don't have solder right through the board at the connectors. If minimal solder is used, the joints could be cracking due to heat cycling, causing arching and high resistance at the joint, intern heating the connector pins up and fusing the plastic plug a sockets together causing all the issues? I just read that Alex has never had a come back with replacement sockets - is this because they are now properly soldered to the board?.....
Just a theory - At the manufacturer soldering stage there was a sudden movement of the board/ connector preventing the solder paste flowing properly and instead creating dry joints. Subsequently the connector and joints got overheated during use (due to the poor electrical connection between the plug and board) ultimately causing the final failure. It's just a theory.
Yeah, i don't think that will fly, as manufacturers use what's called a wave silder machine that usually pre flux and pass the board along a pool of melted solder. close enoughto "connect" all solder points in one operation. Some boards can be submerged and others just deep enough to reach the solder pool below it.
Original solder joint was done cold and simply fell off when it got hot enough, which would have been lower than the melting point of the solder. The GPU wouldn't have worked if there was no solder at all. If it had gotten hot enough to melt solder, the connector would be totally melted.
Although it wouldn't solve manufacturing issues where you don't solder on the connector properly, I wish high power GPU's would simply move to using Anderson connectors. A 75A rated connector wouldn't be that much bulker? And highly flexible silicon insulated wiring terminating in multiple "PCIE" labelled thingy-plugs or a couple of 12VHPWR connectors etc. the other end. A few different crimp sizes maybe and trickier for custom lengths of cable, but eventually PSU's could then include a decent capacity Anderson connector too for a single cable connection. Back of the envelope scribblings ... thinking of a 900W future card ... 12V at 75A ... I think a 4 AWG wire with silicon insulation would be approx. 11mm diameter? A hefty wire. But neat and tidy ... just the pair of them. Simple for custom lengths. Relatively easy to crimp the standard sturdy connectors unlikely to cause issues. Very very minimal heating even at 75A from the wire itself to heat your case or the connectors. For the expensive cards, not a huge amount of additional expense. If the best cards are going to continue to want more power, and solid state power handling on the boards improve to handle it, wouldn't introducing higher, simpler, existing-standard based power connectors now, be sensible? Maybe I'm just muddled and uninformed in my off the cuff thinking. I suppose, actually, if we do go down the higher power route, and as voltage changing becomes ever more efficient with new methods/switch-mode improvements etc., it would be simpler maybe to switch to 24V or maybe even 48V for a cost comparable lower current less bulky GPU solution.
It was soldered only on one side when it should have been soldered on both. And because the cable was essentially able to bend back that connector and cause a second bad connection, which heated up that part of the pcb enough to melt the already scarce amount of solder.
I WAS seriously planning to purchase MSI Titan 18 HX A14VIG-041NL 18 "Core i9 RTX 4090 Gaming laptop, my current BTO top gaming laptop is from 2017 and is slowly starting to wear out.

Dear MSI, you will only get continued support and trust if you actually fix issues rather than giving people useless words wrapped up in a cheery tone.
It’s obvious that this was never soldered from factory… However, Who cares about the warranty & You have Alex that worked on it. ❤❤ In my opinion not only it's better than factory.. it just gained value 😂
I am currently having my Asus 3090 TI replaced by RMA for an Asus 4090 Strix. Not for burning, luckily. But if the 3090 TI uses the same PCB layout and connector, why do none of them have the same melting connector issue, if people say it is the cable or the connector?
@@Lurch-Bot Yes, they did. The 3090 TI is the only 30 series card with the 12VHPWR connector. It also was made using the same PCB and layout as the 4090.
If the customer waited more for the card to completely heat up, all components would have fell off the board. Now there's a new way to remove solder clean off a PCB.
They should really recall all GPUs especially 4080s and 4090s with that plug. Can you imagine how many problems are going to come out with the 50 series gpus when they are released with the same plugs.
at this point I'm afraid to use high end components. im using an i7 12700k, I don't want to go to 13th or 14th gen because of all the power issues, same with nvidia gpu's. id love to have a 4080 or 4090 but id rather have a reliable machine that's not going to randomly self destruct.
If it had gotten that hot, the connector would be melted. The solder never melted and didn't have to in order to come off because it was a cold solder joint that never was properly adhered.
I think for this board, it was not enough soldered... if it had enough soldering the connector side should be integrally filled with soldering paste... When i see the connector, i see juste a little soldering paste at the end of de pins... Sorry for my poor english...
There not a trace of solder on the joints. Manufacture defect, quality control check etc... Should at least supply customer with new / updated version. Thanks to Northridgefix for producing video evidence of poor workmanship from a big company, it does them no favors by just acknowledging there are problems with this product. Poor customer service...
It's concerning the amount of people defending the 12vhpwr connector saying it's always user error, when we see such a high amount of connectors failing then it's a connector problem, why did they even switch from 8 pin connectors when they were working perfectly and no one had these issues.
you should call Gamer Nexus and show that what he simulated in the lab is not a unique situation to this issue with the 12V pin connectors of 40 series cards :) I also wonder what would MSI or Nvidia reply to this situation? :)

to be fair, alex said hes never seen this before, and hes seen a lot of 4080s
You left out the Big Boss test confirmation. I feel cheated 😂
That is crazy Alex. I can't believe this got by quality control. They have been sleeping on the job or smoking his lawn.

Here in the UK we have consumer rights that provide at least a 12 month warranty and it is the retailer’s responsibility to offer a repair, replacement or refund.
when you go down that route you are probably weeks off before you have your card back.
There are differences, that’s one reason hardware is more expensive on this side of the pond…

The factory did however install, the perfect amount of thermal paste
I remember from steve's tour from gamer nexus at the cooler master factory, they have this auto thermal compound applier it dispenses the exact amount and spreads it evenly.
i have a 4070 Palit and it runs very well also it has the old connector (1 slot)
A factory fault surely. Notice the connector side didn't have any solder flowed properly.
Hi NRF, was checking your store and notice no usb ports for ps4/slim/pro?
Are these impossible to source except from donor boards?
Thanks.
I recommend holding a competition for the best soldered power input in cards, for example MSI
Great idea to use a low melting point alloy, so it can be removed easier next time.
You are mistaken
This connector is biggest Mistake ever

1:14 What a clean PCB. :D
So cleanly replaced, not even Alex can do it sooo well. n1 Nv😱🤣
So if it did that, won’t it just do it again especially with low melt solder. Just a query
Original solder joint was done cold and simply fell off when it got hot enough, which would have been lower than the melting point of the solder. The GPU wouldn't have worked if there was no solder at all. If it had gotten hot enough to melt solder, the connector would be totally melted.

Although it wouldn't solve manufacturing issues where you don't solder on the connector properly, I wish high power GPU's would simply move to using Anderson connectors. A 75A rated connector wouldn't be that much bulker? And highly flexible silicon insulated wiring terminating in multiple "PCIE" labelled thingy-plugs or a couple of 12VHPWR connectors etc. the other end. A few different crimp sizes maybe and trickier for custom lengths of cable, but eventually PSU's could then include a decent capacity Anderson connector too for a single cable connection.

How it survived, in use, for 6 months, with no solder ! Incredible!?!?
It was soldered only on one side when it should have been soldered on both. And because the cable was essentially able to bend back that connector and cause a second bad connection, which heated up that part of the pcb enough to melt the already scarce amount of solder.
At 1:54 you can see a tiny amount of solder, so it wasn't completely unsoldered. If it was the user wouldn't have even been able to plug it in.

lol removed itself better than factory
Loose connections causes high amperage draw
Crazy design ☠️
The connector looks like it was never soldered. I wonder if they run these through a solder bath like they do at other manufacturers.
but what made it reach melting temperature of the solder very weird!!
If it had gotten that hot, the connector would be melted. The solder never melted and didn't have to in order to come off because it was a cold solder joint that never was properly adhered.
I think for this board, it was not enough soldered... if it had enough soldering the connector side should be integrally filled with soldering paste... When i see the connector, i see juste a little soldering paste at the end of de pins... Sorry for my poor english...
