Even if he doesn't do a collab, he should sell and donate cards to TronicsFix, someone who won't do a sloppy job and can fix just about anything short of reballing but this graphics card shows no sign of balling problems.

I've gone down both paths of DIY systems and SI pre-builds depending on what was going on at the time and what the cost difference was between the two. My first build was a 486DX with 2 meg of ram and a CGA video card back in 1987. It's been amazing to see how much computers have changed over the past few decades.

Some people just don't either have the time, the knowledge, or the patience to be dealing with the process of building a PC. Some people just want the option of one stop shop for convenience and a warranty backing their product. This is why pre builds are around. Not everyone cut their grass and they will hire a landscaper to do it. Not everyone change their car oil and they pay to have it done at Jiffy Lube. People will spend money and buy a hotdog at a restaurant instead of making it themselves at home.

Great job Greg, I've been watching this series for ages now and it feels like you have such a refined and meticulous process now. One thing I would suggest to tell people is when doing a BIOS update from such a old version, it's good practice to check any BIOS revisions in-between which might need to be flashed first before going to the latest one.

@jeanpauldarmanin4582 6 ай бұрын
One piece of advice that I've noticed only a few people attempt when troubleshooting GPU issues, particularly with Nvidia cards, is utilizing an iGPU within the system. By configuring the BIOS to prioritize the iGPU and connecting your display to it, you can access the system. From there, you can attempt to use NVFlash to flash a new BIOS onto the GPU. This process is relatively straightforward with Nvidia cards, though I'm uncertain about its compatibility with AMD cards. Nonetheless, I've successfully revived cards using these steps. It's worth noting that some cards, especially older models like the 1070 Ti with a single BIOS, are prone to BIOS corruption.

11:16 the last time I had a broken EVGA card that did this, I left it in a box for a year after cleaning it and it magically worked.

Note when going from BIOS that early to the latest. Sometimes you need to do it in a couple steps because something major changes in between and they aren't compatible. So you had 1.20, sometimes you need to hit 1.70 before you can go right to 2.50 for example. If it works the first time you don't need to. But I put them on the memory stick anyway just in case. Saves some steps later if it didn't work.

@@drunkhusband6257With the long term upgradability of ryzen, some later bios disable compatibility of older cpu’s from earlier bios to accommodate the newer ones. You shouldn’t just leap from oldest to newest bios on one athlon cpu and expect it to boot. Also the bios flash utility can also change between bios. Here’s an example: review the notes of gigabyte ga-x370m You shouldn't go from athlon on F1 straight to F51 without F40 and before that, F31. Always review the bios note

Fun fact, modern BIOS (or actually UEFI) and it's configurations are stored on non volatile flash memory, so the data isn't actually lost when power (from the battery) is lost, the battery is really only there to keep the RTC (Real Time Clock) ticking.

Once upon a time I sent a PC back via RMA to get checked because it kept powering off or losing video signal. They sent it back with a clean bill of health. The issue repeated. Eventually, I realized my power was really bad in that house. It was screwy enough that the PC had weird symptoms. I bought a UPS with undervolt and overvolt protection, line conditioning, sine wave output when on battery, and the issues went away. The little UPS sure got a workout while I lived there, but it saved my PC and made it so it could work. Rentals aren't always great as far as being up to code, even with something as important as electricity. So I wouldn't be surprised if such situations arise for other people.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I have a question for you. If one of these videos last 20 minutes or so, how much time will you have spent from start to finish?

I just had a similar issue with an Evga 1070 I got for a budget build for my uncle. I thought the card was toast, I repasted it just as you did and everything. I would power it on and fans would spin, led lights would power on and everything. No picture out. I thought it was dead… but then my monitors black screen prompted me to make sure correct display port version was selected… so I changed it from dp 1.4 to dp 1.1 and rebooted the pc… voila I got picture out. Just something I’d like to suggest if you haven’t looked into.

Could be worth checking, as a last resort the GPU with a thermal camera to see if any area is not getting power

I know you might have mentioned it to the owner, but I would have loved to see a take on driver comtability. Like removing the Nvidia drivers and installing Amd's, even if not on his system. Love your videos

Did anyone else notice that only one of the fans is spinning on the "new" card?

"03" Blown Protective Diode direct off the Main Feed line of the power plug... Simple VOM and check continuity
