Merry Christmas. Not only are you a genius with the desire to thoroughly repair GPUs but you also manage to make a video about it the same day! Thank you Tony! Russ
7:06 - the data line next to the one you bridged seems to have a huge gap, which might contribute to the PCI no-detect. That whole area had some severe mechanical damage with scraped and squeezed traces, so it might be a good idea to reinforce all the traces, even if they still make a connection.
my christmas horror story about GPU rust: A year or so ago I had a mice plague, those bastards went through empty PCIE bracket in my PC case and defecated all over PC. I only noticed that after a while. Especially when I unplugged the GPU, its back was so rusted that some elements literally fell off. At that time crypto bs prices were still around so you can imagine my horror
Too iconic. Funny because Rowan Atkinson really dislikes Mr Bean. Not playing him, he just dislikes his character traits... selfish, foolish, can be cruel at times. Complete opposite of Rowan.
Even though I've seen him in other roles as well, and he was excellent I have to admit, when he's gone everybody will remember him for portraying Mr Bean.
If this here card still failed to work, check out the traces below the trace you repaired @1:25 I know you checked some but yo missed one that don't look right
You got the best GPU repair vids man, others don't have the vibe you do. There's a popular content creator that I won't have that would simply bash the customer for even sending in a board like this
@@ttpechon2535which is really idiotic. Its like a car mechanic complain why car damaged too much in accident Or doctor complain that patiant has severe cold. Its not simple cold. Its his job to recieve damaged boards If he wants easy fix with simplest and fastest fixes to make more money, more power to him. Thats completely fine But he has no right to complain why he gets a severe damaged board. Its literally his job to recieve them lol
Hopefully that'll be a quick fix he said..... Yeah sure Tony... Seriously now people need to stop dropping and-or replacing their soccer ball with their VGA cards seriously. This kind of damage is simply ridiculous on a very sensitive electronic equipment not to mention extremely extremely expensive. Secondly I haven't heard good things about the relatively cheap or should I say economical motherboards from Asus in the past years, so I kind of understand your pain. Personally I use MSI boards mostly. And last but not least Merry Christmas Anthony 🎉🥳
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for lending your expertise to the community. Hopefully nvidia keeps us employed throughout 2024 by making a new pcie connector for 5090🤣
Wow, I was _so_ sure I was about to hear you say the words "no fix"! 🙂 (And uh, when you lift the core and find scratching underneath it, never mind all of the ripped pads, I would think the conclusion would be that somebody else has been messing with it, no?)
IIRC they can be swapped, but I wonder how core binning and factory overclocks would behave if putting a lower-end core on a high-end board. This would be my only concern.
Time for a new motherboard that won't crap out on you, I agree with reusing the problematic MB for testing purposes. If you are using a usb hub I have noticed that one model with usb slot power buttons has caused very similar motherboard issues like yours here, I've had to stop using it.
I've had a lot of issues with Asus products... going back decades at this point. Their support is also extremely terrible. Switched to Gigabyte several years back and have not had any issues on six heavily used PC's. (Chipsets: X399, X470 and four X570's) I've built a dozen or so other machines using Gigabyte boards with zero issues over the same period. That said, their software UI's needs to be seriously overhauled, but is rarely needed.
I've had issues with ASUS x570 boards doing odd things from a cold start. Hitting the reset button would fix it but yes, that's a PITA. No issue with 2 MSI boards since then.
I have used some mobos for years and I think it depends on the actual generation. Around 2007 Gigabyte mobos were amazing, some Asus mobo failed around me, I have an asrock Z87 Extreme 3 from 2014 which still works with the MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X, and now I am experimenting with an MSI Z790 Ace. Its amazing how detailed the BIOS and the interface is. One thing is sure, today there's no component that I would buy from Gigabyte...@@Martin-zd8eb
I have an X-570p at home, no issues at all last 3 years. But I haven't bought another Asus since, mainly because of the issues reported on Jayztwocents with the burning issues, that whole debacle with bad Asus support left me disappointed. "Use this beta Bios to fix our mistake, but it will void your warranty". Shame, I've been a loyal user of Asus since 2008 or earlier, no issues, but I can't really trust them anymore. Last build I did was with ASRock and a 7800X3D, and so far 3 months in, it's been solid as a rock, even with 32 gigs of DDR5. Board seemed to be good quality, quick bios updates when AMD released new microcode updates, and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
The power surge could be a bad mosfet, use your oscilloscope to check them. I also noticed you have the latest bios installed, you could try downgrading the BIOS version to an earlier version like v3606 and you should also install the MEI update (just below the v3606 download link) after the bios update as ASUS recommends this. this may correct your issues. Also set it to default options as well. (BIOS flashing will reset it anyways) Also RAM has been known to cause issues on these boards, you can check the QVL list for compatibility. Cheers!
The power surge thing is just a stupid thing Asus has in their motherboards (Anti-Surge). No other company does this and their mobos are just fine. I turned it off in the bios because i couldnt play any games without the pc shutting down randomly because of it. Mind you that was 6 years ago and that motherboard still works fine running 24/7 today.
@@Ravix0fFourHorn Yeah I figured that but I thought since he runs this board open on a bench that he could do a quick check just to be sure, as his USB detection is flaking out. But yes I agree.
you cant just power off the PC by hard powering the switch on the psu it detects it thats the power surge turn it off correctly by a proper software power off
Hey Tony !! I hope you had a Merry Christmas ! I wasn't getting any notifications for your videos so I came to check and what do you know. 2 new ones... I'm glad I checked. Can you help me out and tell me where you purchased your CS mount Microscope lens adapter. If you have a specific place and vendor I would greatly appreciate it. I'm looking to buy another .5X CS mount adapter for my other Trinocular microscope but AMAZON so far has been garbage. I have a RT5109 4K 60 cam and I need a real .5x for the visual to be correct. So far all the amazon vendors I've tried have been selling knock off .45X adapters that do not work with mine. If I put the knock off .45X adapter on I get a tunnel vision in my camera almost like some of the .35X adapters. I do have a real .5x from many years ago that I purchased for a premium that works but i'm trying not to spend 150$ if I can find decent in quality with close to the view distance as my working one without the tunnel effect. Thanks for all your help and videos you have taught me alot ! Keep it up !
@@northwestrepair there is might be something in bios like "support legacy usb devices" (another tab from CSM or UEFI on my MB) settings-advanced usb settings-support legacy usb devices on MSI B550 torpedo if i haven't this check, my usb flash drive with MATS invisible in bios try this
I find with asus boards to turn the usb ports off is to change S5 from what ever value it is set to to the opposite ( enabled or disabled), and do the same for ERP S4, usually the erp will leave the GPU power lights on even though the system is shut down.
Still think I probably would have not gone forward with that PCB and tried to find a donor with how much repair work it needed between The crack and ripped pads
🤔 is thermal stress coming from the factory ? is it a real thing ? i mean they solder them very fast in high heat but after cooling down is there a mechanical stress on the board ? Otherwise why rip pads !!?
I don't think so, maybe a machine malfunction and QA didn't notice in time for some PCBs to ship.... but they have strict procedures in place to check every step of the way because they need as close to 100% to ship working as they can. See Gamers Nexus tour of Powercolor factory. For this 3080 looks like the owner dropped it or maybe it was damaged in shipping.
this looks like a huge water or acid caused damage even the traces under the slot connection pins are corroded, throw this board into the trash it is not worth to fix it.

Can a GPUs processor be swapped from one brand to another? example: an Asus RTX 3080 to a Gigabyte RTX 3080 ?
CORE ?
Core is the same
IIRC they can be swapped, but I wonder how core binning and factory overclocks would behave if putting a lower-end core on a high-end board. This would be my only concern.
@@northwestrepairany trouble with binning on factory overclocks between models?

Excellent video, be interesting to see remasking work, I hope it wasn't a vc used for mining.
I find with asus boards to turn the usb ports off is to change S5 from what ever value it is set to to the opposite ( enabled or disabled), and do the same for ERP S4, usually the erp will leave the GPU power lights on even though the system is shut down.
Yee but it does it with a delay.
I have never seen BS like that before.
Still think I probably would have not gone forward with that PCB and tried to find a donor with how much repair work it needed between The crack and ripped pads
Nice!
How do pads ripoff does the core or chip move or do they overheat and burn ?
my understanding is that when the GPU sags and bends, the traces under the core are lifted or broken off.
merry Christmas man 🎉
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
booting slow, power up slow, sounds like memory issues ie mem speeds.
Turn off anti-surge in the bios of that motherboard. Asus Anti-surge is a gimmick. No other motherboard vendors have something like this.
Merry Xmas Tony
That's a lot of repairing - maybe put his good core on a donor board with a bad core instead?
Yeah, booting from a USB is less reliable than booting from the internal connectors.
Happy Yuletide.
I have a system with that Asus motherboard. It never did anything like this!
It’s why I use silicone
Just because you cannot repair it as easy does not mean we should not buy them. They are cheaper for a reason
