Sorry for my English! It's called "edge bonding," or "underfill," and mostly used in mobile devices and military equipment, where mechanical shock/vibration is a thing.
Yep. Which makes you wonder how much vibration they expect their own fan to create. 😉 In this case I suspect it's as a way to reduce board sag (or at least minimize the chance of it leading to cracked solder joints).
Yeah. I'd try ethyl acetate before the dicholoromethane (and maybe tetrahydrofuran or hexane afterwards, if DCM didn't work), but I think the risk is that whatever dissolves that resin will _also_ dissolve the resin used for the board itself.
@@RFC3514 True. Makes sense to go gradually. I figured that if he put a few drops at a time then it would minimize messing with the soldermask and plastics. Yeah, gotta protect the pcb itself somehow or use weaker solvents as you said.
I always wanted a Titan RTX just because I absolutely adore the 20 series founders cards and the gold is the cherry on top (from a looks wise), but I literally scraped the used market for my current GPU so that says enough about how much I'm willing to spend on a GPU.
I've also been looking into getting a 2080 ti recently and just had an interested look at Titan RTXs and prices people wanted were just utterly ridiculous sadly, could regularly find them for over 1k.
this underfill can be removed by treating it with chloroform bath for several hours , it will crack and expend. Them with moderate heat (250 C) it will soften up and can be gently scraped away.
Titan RTX I think had Encoders, Decoders and other subsets of the GPU that are the ungimped versions (the ones you find on the Pro cards) versus the consumer grade gimped versions that are less effective at Encoding, Decoding, and compute tasks. Since it was essentially a Pro Card with gamer flair.
Yeah it wasnt cut down also from the driver side with CAD performance for example if I am not wrong. It is basically a Card with Quadro performance without costing crazy and less pro driver support. Rtx 3090/4090 are cut down in CAD Performance now
my old rig had a pair of these on custom water cooling. Definitely worked well in any situation where they could both be utilized but 100% not worth the very slight improvement for gaming over a 2080Ti - and in a few cases it actually performed slightly worse because it generates more heat due to slightly more cores active within the same die and thus not being able to boost as high for as long.
Wonder if you could use some type of iron the size of the chip that was super heated and then directly applied to the chip surface to flash heat it and remove it. Think of a branding iron for cattle only the tip the size of the chip. Might be able clip an aluminum strip on the remaining memory to dissapate the unwated heat.
Titan RTX isn't identical to a 2080 Ti, though they are both based on the same exact core. It's just that certain parts of the 2080ti are not functioning, whereas on the Titan they are fully functional. Titan has 4608 CUDA cores (vs 4352 on the 2080 Ti), 110mhz higher boost, 572 Tensor Cores (vs 544), 72 RT cores (vs 68). I'm not saying the Titan RTX is worth the price, I'm just saying there are differences
@@panjak323 would love to snag a titan rtx some day. I have a bitspower full cover waterblock for a founders edition 2080/2080ti which I think would fit the titan.
So why do they use that compound to begin with? Is it meant to strengthen the chips hold on the board? Even still, it causes more problems than it solves.
Great and informative video as always, been wondering what kind of software are You using it seams ro have memory diagnostic for both Amd and Nvidai cards. Been having issue to find a good software for Amd cards ?
The purpose of this cards has always been to sell the "cheaper" cards ie: "Why buy the 90series @ 2000$ when the 80 series is almost as good @ 1200$?", conveniently forgetting the 500$-ish gen. Increase.
It's a card you buy because you can. Like a Lambo or Ferrari. People buy supercars and hypercars not because they're gonna be their main mode of transportation - they buy those cars because they can.
It's only on the bottom memory chips, most likely to protect them from users that would let the gpu sag for a longer time. Sagging gpu can break the solder connections overtime on the memory chips that are the closest to the pcie connector, if there's no compound. It sucks when you don't have it (if the user is not careful with his hardware) and sucks when the memory chips would just die on their own anyways someday
Have you ever considered grinding the faulty chip off with no heat? That's often done during phone repairs when you need to replace a faulty IC but want to minimize damage to the board as well as other components nearby.
That compound looks like what we use on industrial electronics to make them somewhat/mostly protected from water/moisture? Is that why it was there; perhaps for a water block application?
Underfill is not antirepair its to stop shock, thermal expansion etc. remove the underfill around the sides first. 300 cel and slide a knife under around 380 celcuis. Do it all the time on mobile phones etc.
Excluding more vram - there is small difference in cores too -> from 4352 to 4608, so very minimal Same with bus, there is a „jump” from 352b to 384b Imagine how much of a difference it could be if they used 482 or 512b bus :/
i never said you were wrong there@@northwestrepair - i just wanted to just put all info about it. But i never said that this jump was significant :D much opposite - i feel like all "Titan" cards are worthless for years... Last proper Titan card was Titan X (Maxwell) which actually really gave an proper upgrade comparing to 980/980Ti
That compound is a nightmare. The worst part is there really no safe off the shelf chemical agents you can use to non-heat remove it. 90% iso won't even clean it or dissolve it. I know they make chemicals to remove that stuff, but it's not anything you want to breathe fumes of, be around, or get on you. 😣
@@Lostcontroller I don't remember exactly what The compound was that Nvidia uses specifically for their GPUs, but it's a lacquer based substance that I know because I heard it before somewhere else and it's a real pain in the butt to clean up because the solvent used to dissolve it once it dries is not something you want to get on you from what I remember hearing about it It's almost kind of like paint remover and varnish remover. It also serves zero purpose for the cards other than to make repairs more difficult. It's basically a cosmetic coverup for the PCB to mask placement grids.
@@ReaperX7 - I would try (in order) acetone, ethyl acetate, dicholoromethane, tetrahydrofuran and hexane. All of them are fine to use in small amounts as long as you have ventilation, you just don't want to spend all day breathing the fumes.

so, what utility is this in your Gdrive? its mats/mods i believe? but which versions are for what GPUs? or rather, which one are you using as the version info shown on your display isnt the same as whats in the gdrive. ?mods 520 for a 4000series gpu? for memory testing?
Isn't it possible to just power on the graphics card without these memory chips? It will obviosly have less memory avaliable, but in theory it shoud still be able to work, right?
Can't you drill the chip off? Like removing the PCB for a crack repair layer by layer. Once you are deep enough remove the compound by heating it with a soldering iron. Just a thought, never done it myself...
In Apple's case, it's usually to make repair difficult or impossible. I don't think Nvidia is quite as evil. My guess is the card is heavy and they were afraid solder joints would crack due to sagging, so they added the compound as mechanical reinforcement, to prevent that.
Im wondering whats your opinion of my gpu i got new about 1 yr and a half ago , its a Evga rtx 3080 xc3 . How long will it last me just doing gaming playing most of my game casual with v-sync on . I keep it clean of dust and have my case open so it always runs about 70-75 c and on some games only 60 c the whole time . The games where its running 70-75 c i have v-sync off and my monitor is a 120hz so the frames ramp up and is why it goes to those temps .
How much do you charge for repairs? I have a 4090 that recently started artifacting. Sent it in for rma but they sent it back and said nothing was wrong. Trying to get an idea of if it’s worth trying to get it fixed or if I just have to cut my losses.
Really enjoyed my 2080ti until it'd broke - I wish they'd have gone the full 384-bits on the 2080ti rather than leaving that to the Titan. Curiously I've seen very few people overclock the Titan RTX , given the fun I've had with the 2080ti I reckon we could get to similar performance as a 4070 , or very slightly slower than a 3080 10GB
Wow why are they using that stuff, I mean even with normal use those chips will get hot and like you said they pull on the chips with change in temperature, it’s like they used that stuff on purpose for it to fail
Is there any chemical way to soften the epoxy? edit: OH, I see there's ALSO epoxy under the chip. I don't think you could get at that chemically. Might be worth a shot though on a card that's junk anyway. It would probably take quite a while, but still worth a shot. Maybe acetone would attack the epoxy? Acetone evaporates really quick, so you'd have to put something like a cloth or paper towel over the area to apply acetone to, soak the towel, and put something over THAT to keep the acetone from evaporating super duper quick. Then re-apply the acetone every (x) hours.
it gives double the ai and machine learning and rendering perfomance of a 2080ti while consuming less power than one... so yea companies don't think when paying twice for a GPU that would cover its cost for them in like a week of continuous renders
