What I learned today is if your gpu is working fine, leave it alone. If you want to practice fixing gpus, buy or find dead ones to practice on.

Impressive how you got this card back to life! That custom cooler solution is actually developed by me. You're probably right in advising people not to such solutions from your point of view. But I do want to point out that what you mentioned about over-tightening the screws is impossible because the screws are 'shoulder' screws, blocking themselves at the exact required point. This is actually used in most gpu coolers and isn't any different from the original cooler. The 'posts' you mention are just replaced by longer shoulders.

This is way over my head, but I love watching anyway. It's really fascinating.

I know exactly what video the owner watched 💀 to try this mod lmao

Fixing a card missing a component, without any schematics just by making educated guesses .... Seriously who else could have done it?

By far the best fix!!!! ~_~ Can't wait to send you my first Evga RMA! lol Keep it on!

One of my dream cards for small form factor build. Good job. Performance is around the same as a 3060 i believe. Looking at the temps, it doesn't seem to even need that custom cooler.

Got another fan and thank you so much for sharing your google drive.

Excellent work Tony.. nicely done. These cards are utilised mostly in DELL/ Lenovo micro workstations/ servers.

That little card has 20 GB of RAM?! Fancy!

Nice job!

I love a happy ending... awesome

This is great!

Very nice repair! Now you also guess components! :)

Nice Work 👍 Hello from Wisconistan 🏴‍☠️

Excellent repair! I wish the A2000 cards had a protective backplate like this RTX 4000 has.

Scrolling through all your videos while waiting for a new one and being sad knowing ive seen most of them

You can go lower than zero by using TWO zero ohm resistors in parallel. Got ya.

awesome!

its so weird how i watch these videos and have no idea whats going on.

Good work 👍👍

Great video 🫡

Glad it wasnt deemed "no-fix.... hope you guys have learned something today, and I see ya in the next video" 😩

@tony - What 4090s have the highest quality PCBs? If I'm water cooling, does it matter since it will be sandwiched in a block? Trying to make a dual 4090 AI server and need to minimize the size of them. Thinking of founders edition since it's a small PCB, not sure if it can be overclocked the same though?

Whole video i am thinking there must be a formula for figuring out the correct resistor value as we know the voltage on one end, but probably that formula will have to include something from the controller side which we dont know of. Good video

excellent as usual

Great video, tnx for sharing. But what about the plastic strip on top and bottom? Is it supposed to be there? 🤔😀

That controller is also on a MSI GTX 1660 gaming x its a 2 phase memory vrm controller

Go lower resistance with a tunnel diode.

Some other cards use that GS7222 controller also, you could have checked your donor board pile for those.

There's a video about the cooling solution using pure copper fin for this card on KZfaq

What tool do you use to reduce the thickness of the thermalpads?

I wish those cards were cheap. I like their compact size and low power requirement.

How can you always have memory VRAM temperature shown on GPU-Z? Please answer the question

I suggest put 10K resistor, just because I like it

Tony, can you please tell me where to find the script you're using to test AMD mem modules? I tried searching for "gigabyte ati diag" and so on, but no luck. Watching your videos, I pretty much figured out HOW to use it, it's just that I don't know where to find it :/

What was he looking for when replacing the resistors? Why would he knows what number to look for?

I love how he cared enough about temps to get a custum cooler but didnt remove the film that cones with the original one😂

cool

Could use a multi-turn preset/potentiometer next time

I once burnt my whole RGB strips and fans by some cheap rgb fans and controllers from aliexpress, but it was user error, it had those molex connectors, and shorted the 5V rail with the 12V rail, so 12V on 5V LED is a big no. I still have the AIO pump, but it doesn't have lights QwQ

Id love one of these tiny gpus but their prices are quite expensive.

The card has that weird hole below the missing resistance

Miss the background music.

👍👌👍

I don't understand these cooling mods people do such as the copper mod or deshrouding to install a Noctua fan. RTX cards have great cooling from the factory. I understand the folks flashing a higher power vbios though.

Do you have any recommendations for GPUs that are easy to fix and cheap with good performance for mid-low range games? Can I have an A2000 GPU?

cant u just transfer those standoffs from the original cooler to the new custom cooler so then u wouldn't tighten the screws too much ?

Hello Internet

My first bet was 820R. I fail miserable

better than factory

Do you only fix gpu?

Did you leave the plastic film on? 19:57

Do you actually put your dollar sign on the wrong side of things?

I was wondering since I had this problem (which was fixed by the company). Did you ever get a repair of a RTX4080 which does fine at pretty much every benchmark but would get driver crashes on like 50% of games? I'm still wondering what that problem with my card was. I had to send it in 2 times and the card took 1 month each time to come back to me. (Gainward RTX4080 Phantom). Love the videos btw!

Quadros after they removed the Quadro name are so confusing. I can never remember if this is newer, better or completely different to the RTX A4000... or the RTX 4000 Ada Generation. Maybe it is that last one, I can't remember. I could look it up but ehhh. Of course none of these are to be confused with Quadro RTX 4000 which was a Turing card. Nvidia need to bring Quadro back either way and give the cards proper model numbers.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

How about removing the film istructed to remove before use? =)

you need to update your nvidia driver :)

Which GPU Brand should i Go for...?? 😢 (We don't have good repair engineers in India 😅 😭)

Custom cooler on something this small, isn't a sensible option.

How much the price of cheapest car in U.S (new)? I want compare with $2k gpu 😅

only one resistor broke off, if many had broken off, you are screwed.

Sorin would have guessed it first time.

Comment

has it ever happened to see in your dream like u are fixing gpus or something

i would reball the gpu just in case 😂😂

Spoil us with a GT 1030 repair

I don't understand the point of that mod to begin with it. I could understand maybe modding it for an axial fan or a passive cooler but another blower from China is utterly baffling.

People are really strange : What's the use to put a custom cooler on a pro card like this ?

RTX 4000 ?!?!?!?!?!

tetris on high or low resolution?

no pad on one of the memory chips when you opened. on each side, on the heatsink as well as on the backplate. I own this card and there are 6 memory chips on gpu side and 6 on backplate side.

Nvidia charging a premium for a video out GPU that should have been called the 4030. Yay I guess.

RTX 4000? Is that a thing?

its so small, lol

Hi! I have a dead cheap gpu, I'd like to send it in for content and give away if it can be fixed

when i fixing some gpu i don't have pop ups in my eyes what is whatpex,dex,fed ex,where i can turn on that optionor may i have old firmware in ma brrrain

Another replacing of superior thermal putty with thermal pads.

this is a no fix

Man you where so lucky to not blow this up. This resistor was setting the voltage feedback.. and you could have just set it to 5V by accident without knowing the value-range beforehand. I would have started with a much larger resistance as one already knows, that infinite resistance does not lead to damage. Maybe start 1M, 100K, 10K..

Not for nothing but that's an RTX 2000 not a 4000

What ethnicity are you, brother? Just curious.
