From Gigabyte: "Our engineers believe it should be an issue with the 6-pin PCIe power connector on the card. It could be some problem with the NCU."
oh noi hate when my cables are not working and i have to change the whole power supply cause ther are no parts
that sounds Very much not repairable :S
like bent or broken pins? or it arced between the pins and fried the connector.
Are they gonna replace it?.
What is NCU?
Hopefully some vendors see this and step up with some parts for this series.
I think he had one in a previous video from another "series" but yeah Im sure some will. I wouldnt count on a GPU though, given they are worth their weight in gold.
@@bofasofa9399 that's almost double MSRP. Worth it's weight in gold is always hyperbole. But it's not about being rich or poor. It's about whether the situation is important enough to be willing to buy something for more than it's really worth because people are playing with the market. Rich people don't stay rich overpaying for stuff.
@@bofasofa9399 Hey being poor sucks you have to love knowing your PC is inferior to everyone else's ofc I have no idea what that's like I have a 2080S
@@bofasofa9399 bad bait
@@bofasofa9399 obviously you have more money than sense
I've run a computer repair shop and I feel you nailed it on this one. Hopefully he has the warranty on this GPU and can get a replacement. Oh yeah, NEVER cheap out on your PSU. Its funny how hard that can be for some people to realize.
"I thought I just needed the right amount of wattage?" - something people I'm helping have said to me multiple times
There's a reason why PSU tier lists exist
Warranty gone now disassembled?
It's has dumb as saying someone is trying to cheap out his battery replacement with a knockoff chinesse battery for his expensive iphone, camera, emergency-battery pack & so on.
It's the heart of the device. Cheap on it and there's a bad chance something wrong will happen. For battery, let's just say it will go up in flame.
And for PSU it could go up either in flame or kill itself and take some pc part with it.
I got myself a SeaSonic ~$150 CA w750 Platium. There has been quit a few storm that has cut off power for just >1sec and my pc stayed powered. Can't say the same thing for everything else around me, including my 2 monitor lol
@@SrgtWookieD wrong, on this specific gigabyte model, it doesn’t void the warranty when you take it apart
@@SirReptitious Its not about high wattage PSU but quality of that unit. Why do I need 800W psu if my system is drawing from the wall 300 watts at maximum load? Are you utilise CPU and GPU at 100% most of Your time? No.
I'm using Seasonic platinum certified Power supply - 650W for over 6 years. That PSU was in 3 different systems and one of them was pulling 550 watts from the socket every day for 4 to 6 hours. This seasonic is still with me in my current setup.
Corsair, evga, thermaltake they all let me down and I was never buying anything below 80+ gold cert.
It's not about wattage, but quality...
Pardon the interruption this weekend - I'll be deep-cleaning a smoker's PC 😷
It will smell extremely smoky
Everywhere in the pc NICOTINE
you seem worried but hey stinker here is goign to comfort you
I just did this last weekend with my dad's PC... He also has 2 long haired cats 😬😬😬😬
Did the card not have any warranty? Why did you choose to take the card apart and not just send it back to the owner so he could get it checked out from where he bought it ?
yuck i have done that also the sag on that card is preatty bad
I really like the concept of this series, even more than the cleaning. This is useful now to increase longevity when no one can get cards, but it will continue to be useful as troubleshooting on potentially very specific issues. Please keep these going!
Glad you enjoy it! Will do!
@@GregSalazar I second Zack's Comment Greg,
this is so much better than the Theoretical Problem Solving Videos or Talking Head giving tips to answer questions like lots of other channels do,
I really enjoyed when you used to do the Science of PCs, But the Direction you are taking with the channel to be more 'How to look after & keep your PC running" is Awesome as it is not something many channels do & can really help people build their confidence in their PC Skills 🥰
Same here Greg this helps us more than reviews that people put out on cards and hardware we can't even get.
Greg really has it going with his video series ideas based on what's going on right now. It shouldn't anger anyone and it helps people attempt to get fully working systems again during the shortage, love it.
I would like to add: when helping each other, makes these kinda vid worth it. :)
“Fix or Flop” love it
Reckon he should do a fix and flip series.

It’s considered as a faulty GPU when it occurs while it’s plugged or not.
I feel bad for the owner..GPU's prices are so high right now. I hope he can RMA it asap.

Haha, hopefulyl. I thought i had a faulty MSI 3070, so i started RMA back in December. Turned out, it was my drivers, but MSI emailed me a week ago starting the RMA process 😎
@@kalereborn I really doubt that
You’re so wholesome, you show how much you care about the person you’re trying to help, you really did everything you could 🙏
I enjoy this series a lot. You take us on a mission, a detective work to find out whats wrong with the PC, and all of us learn something from it. It is understandable that you cant always upgrade/swap components for something new, and thats life and it makes for a better engagement knowing not every video will have a happy ending.
This is a really great series. The video came up in my feed randomly, and I decided to give it a watch. I ended up binging the whole playlist. Awesome work.
Greg,
Loving the shows
Keep up those creative outake
Greg I have to say in a world where content creators are really struggling to create content that doesn’t get un justifiable hate, you’ve found found a way. Love the new series as well as the PC cleaning ones. Keep it up 👏😀
I really dig this series, nice work on it Greg. Even if you don't find the actual issue like in this one, you always give me new ideas to try out if I ever run into issues with things. Like swapping the card to another pcie slot and try it there, I don't think I ever thought of that before. Thank you!
Love this series and hope to see more! Sucks that you couldn't get the build running again, but I'm so grateful that you shared it, even though it was a "flop." This kind of troubleshooting video is super helpful to see the process of how to figure out what is wrong in a build!
Yesss i love that u made this a series too!!!! Love your videos!
@01:29 Greg’s wife just casually waving at everyone lol
I’m learning a lot by watch your channel. Just the diagnostic process and the train of thought you have as you figure out problems. This type of knowledge is invaluable. Thank you so much!
Thanks for doing this series as well. Nothing like troubleshooting to see how things look when they are wrong. And how to fix them.
I actually really like that you uploaded this video! Sometimes there is no fix at our level and we have to go next level (RMA/manufacturer) to resolve (if possible). I know it would've been super easy to not upload this video and move on to the next fix that has success, so I wanted you to know Greg that this failure to fix was appreciated. You did a good job of troubleshooting and isolating to prove what is good still and where the failure must reside (the gpu) and that is still good information gained from thje process for the user to proceed! Well done, sir.
Hey man. I really appreciate it. And thanks for watching!
8:06 a 5700 xt, if defective at the time of this writing should probably not need soldering work as all of them are under warranty and should be replaced for free.
@@CyFr no, it was a 5700xt
@Casey companies (atleast in the us) can't legally enforce that rule, you as a consumer have a right to do what you want with your product, and unless any damages were cased by the end user while opening the card, they cannot void your warranty just because you attempted to figure out the problem with your card
Good point
@Casey Not always. I've RMA'd a card (MSI GTX 760) before and even told them I broke the "warranty" sticker. They said as long as the card isn't clearly physically damaged then they would repair or replace it (which they did).
@@Antwon22 Not true. All companies can (and do) refuse warranty if you opened - or even you try - up the product.
Such a great video man, explaining your thought process along the way, and being humble enough to search up the issue online and show your viewers. Thank you
Hey man great job finding your niche within this tech space. I love all the different series. Can't wait to see what other ones you come up with
i think Louis Rossmann is moving shop to somewhere in florida soon. Maybe the flops from your Fix or Flop series can find their way to him.
Would be awesome!
Loving these videos, amazing job Greg!
Thanks, Nicolaus!
This is amazing news. I am glad you are making this a full fledged series, I look forward to it. The cleaning series are amazing, this is going to be even better!. To the 1 Mil subs with you!
These troubleshoot, diagnose videos are my favorites. Keep it going!!
This man needs a magnetic parts tray! The most helpful item in pc building
That screen on your AIO pump is driving me crazy!!
As many have pointed out already, I'm a huge fan already of your ongoing series Greg. This new one in particular is not only entertaining, useful, but also extremely interesting. I don't know any other RUclipsr that does this today and your videos are the first ones I watch everytime I see one in my queue list. You have really stepped up your videos this past year and I personally salute you for it!
With the ongoing pandemic around the world, more people are working from home etc, your videos have not only been a way to get thoughts and worries away from that, and enjoying your content instead, but also bringing ones mood up and putting a smile on my face. And for that I salute and thank you Greg, keep up the amazing work you do! :)
Thanks for being with us in these harsch times!
Here here!!! Well said, I feel the same way. Thank you Greg, please keep up with these videos we love them!!!
wow when he took the rear panel off i was blown away by the owners cable management, that is beautiful work
Now he just needs to send his card to NorthridgeFix youtube channel
hes not the best at gpu`s but does do clean work. i have never seen northbridge destroy a board. there is this smaller channel called elitech. he hasnt posted in years. elitech has a cpu reflow bench that he uses on gpu`s to switch out the main chip.
Exactly my thoughts. That dude makes me want to get into smd repairs, super interesting to watch, but dude has surgeon hands lol
I was about to post the same thing, although NWF seems to just be getting into VGA repairs.
"no fix"
faulty 6 pin pci plugs are known to have issues, stay away from Gigabyte!!
You should call this series “Dr. Greg”
aha
Aha
Ahaha
Ahah
Aha
Sounds like Greg's Anatomy
Omg yes Dr. Greg to the rescue
MAYBE if he actually busted out a multimeter or some other testing equipment. Swapping some plugs around and swapping out a GPU is not even close to Dr. worthy lmao. You want "Dr" something, go watch buildzoid or beardedhardware.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 please tell you tipped your fedora after you typed this out
Thank you for speeding up the video when you unscrew the screws, I appreciate that! Your channel is awesomesauce!
Btw I love this series more than any other one you've done. Keep em coming! Wish I could have gotten your help with a my GPU on an AMD system about a year ago. Sometimes it super sucks not having integrated graphics on your cpu when something like this goes wrong.
I know one day you will be as big as linus tech and jayztwocents etc, keep it up man!!
Am I the only one who likes the stock AMD coolers? They're just so simple and clean.
*Sad intel coolers noises*
Happy Corsair H510I noises
They're made by Cooler Master so they're definitely better than Intel's offerings.
15 dollar coolers work better than stock one tho
@@AndyMitchellUK26 Lmao they come from the same factory. Though AMD does pay about a penny more for them so that tiny bit of copper accounts for the difference in performance.... rofl
I love the framed autographed vinyl of Ember in the background.
Loving this series! For this case, I wonder what would have happened without PCIe slot power. Maybe that could've revealed if the card actually received power through the supplemental power cables.
Love this series. You are such a big inspiration for me! Hopefully my daughter to be (My girlfriend is pregnant) will be into hobbies like these. I do have a pc that needs fixing and I can leave it with my brother who lives in Orlando. If you have time of course to fix it! I’ll also send you an email with more specifics on it if that is ok with you?
Twitter dude, he said Twitter.
When you mentioned a bad flash scenario, it made me curious if the OS would have recognized the bad GPU if it was installed in the secondary PCIe slot while the system booted from a good card in the primary PCIe. I wouldn't bet on it given the flashing LED, but it would have been an interesting data point.
good idea on this one. could have reflashed it if was indeed detected.
The good thing here is that he didn't cause the card has warranty.
I really appreciate your generousity when it comes to offering free replacements (provided you have them) for defective or older parts that you often find in your viewers' systems-this really shows that you possess a good heart.
Hell yes dude I love all of these and the viewer pc cleaning videos you make
hyped for new series ^^ teach us
So far in the 3 builds I have had, Seasonic has been a great power supply brand
Isn't seasonic like the top brand on psus? Even other psu companies are taking seasonic's power supplies and rebrand them.
@@depressedfrog2 hmmm i didnt know that! How i ended up using Seasonic was because Linus had done a build years ago and had mentioned how he liked using them on his personal rigs because of how well they held up. Never looked back lol
Seasonic was always top tier manufacturer. Plenty of overclockers using them. I had corsair, evga, thermaltake psu and all of them let me down ( died before warranty expired, the other 2 cost me over $500 in PC parts, killing my ram and 2 motherboards)
My current seasonic unit is in my 3rd system, serving me over 6 years with no issues at all.
Totally agree. I have a Seasonic in my rig currently. Great units, great warranties and great customer service.
Looking forward to the series! We all can learn somethings which is always great.
Great video! Bummer you couldn't fix it but was very interesting to see.
Guy: did you able to fix my Computer.
Greg Salazar: Nah Bro, but I cleaned you Pc.
Greg, I really appreciate what you are doing. Keep up the good work! From a fellow hardware "fixer".
Much appreciated! And thanks for watching!
URKA URKA I'm a baby blue ford...
This is a great series that will help a lot of new system builders. Each episode is a mystery short story.
It's really cool just watching u fix and clean old pc
I love that he didn't just gave up easily and decided to just build a brand new system with overkill parts like other channels do when they do a video of this type.
"He wanted help with a Windows Update problem...and we replaced his system with a 128 core MONSTER!"
"Umm, what happened to my work files?"
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 that's totally bitwt. "My aunt's computer is running a little slow, I could just upgrade the hard drive to an ssd and call it a day but I'll just get her a brand new PC, she doesn't game so this old rtx 2080 I found laying around should do just fine."
That’s a big oof! Rip gpu…
Subscribing to your channel man, this series is like a crime show where we all try to find the "Guilty part". Your filming equipment is superb love the video quality man, great work.
I just discovered you man. I love your deep cleaning videos, it's addicting. And your PC recommendations are very helpful to me.
i wonder if the psu that person was using was one of the gigabyte psus that are being bundled due to low sales volume cause of being known for blowing up
Oof is that the one that GN had tested and had it blow up?
That would be ironic if it's the CASE. Get it? I'll see myself out.
Nah. When he opens the back up at 3:00 you can see its a corsair RM750. Which shouldn't be a problem, but who knows.
Edit: ok I just watched a little bit more. It def could've been a bundled psu. Which would suck, cause instead of "getting a deal" with a gpu and psu, he essentially got burned and lost a few hundred dollars.
@@mikeycrackson ... Gigabyte is fine.
2070 windforce been great since new and near launch, prior 980ti was perfect too.
I would go gigabyte again and recommend them to anyone. Funny how our expierences are so vastly different.
I think your friends are unlucky or abuse their stuff. Go NEW, don't OC beyond common sense, and there's no issues with rma ... No reason for a bad experience under warranty and no abuse
Seems more like peoples own poor judgement/choices in buying used, and or caring or understanding power
@@mikeycrackson It always depends which product you are looking at, yes there are some you should stay away from (like their PSUs), but also there are others that are great (Mobos/most of GPUs).
the one thing that has been bugging me the whole video is that the card is sagging 😂😂😂
mines the rear fan😂😂
This is a very good, entertaining video series idea. Especially with the way the market is right now. I really enjoy these
i love watching you clean and fix PCs seem you love building PCs so much.
“Lets take it apart why not”
gpu warranty: guess ill die
Pretty sure a company can't void your warranty for opening a graphics card. I'm aware that there are different laws on psus and hdds but graphics cards can be opened as long as you don't destroy it in the process.
@@whitewolfsv3647 no you can't
@@jessy-jamesriverin-quessy5987 I opened my 1080ti to repaste, broke the little warranty void sticker in the process and when it finally died it was just within it's warranty. I RMA'd it without mentioning that I'd opened it and they never even questioned it. They just replaced it for a 2080 super lol. This is in the UK btw.
Not how it works here.
@@whitewolfsv3647 yeah those little stickers are only to deter you but are not actually legally enforceable, at least in the US they have to prove YOU caused the damage. Example would be, you used the wrong screw and "long screwed" the pcb or a component and that broke it, that would be easily visible and deny your warranty. Just opening an object up, and performing "preventative" and/or just basic maintenance will not and can not Void your warranty.
Thats a rip for the gpu especially with the price i once thought my gpu was toasted but ended up being the power supply itself so like what was said at least get a 80+ Bronze
I really appreciate this kind of troubleshooting video
thank you
and
good job
These videos will be super helpful for people in the future. Looking forward to more.
The GPU must have over heated. With out a multi meter you will not find the fried chip.
or shorted yeah. I was dissapointed to find a complete lack of testing anything but swapping parts and plugs like "Yup..... its broke..." *end video *
The card died because of PSU? That's sucks man happen to me once when I bought a budget PSU (it is 80+ bronze) that killed my old RX 480... Thankfully it didn't kill the whole system and I was able to get a refund for the PSU :(
really enjoyed this series, keep up the good work.
I had a OCZ power supply die on me in my old build. And it did its job and just died did not kill any of my other parts. So it is completely worth the extra bit of money to buy a good one and not cheap out. Love this and the deep clean series!
Imagine customers faces when they realize there 1k graphics card doesn't have it's warranty anymore 😳
Most companies will still give warranty especially when taken apart by a youtuber who is 1) very safe. 2) knowledgable.
Why would that be? Those "warranty void when removed" stickers are not legally enforceable in the US. Go read up on it.
Lol I'm Canadian we got them shit stickers

@@MikeJones-bl6lu no, not really, you are spending only a couple of cents in gas. But what is really cheaper is the fact that you waste less time.
@@suprememortech5159 what gas do you use by paying for the paste online? You have time to drive someplace, but not 30 seconds to apply the paste? And then if you need to again it’s the same instead of $8 for paste that can be used multiple times.

love seeing your thought process
First thing that should blow on a card damaged by PSU is the fuses? You didnt test them?
These videos are great man. It's also a really cool thing you are doing for people in the area Greg. Good job and good content 👍.
Shame this computer doesn't work though, I agree from my experience that it seems like a power supply issue.

When he casually zoomed in and it was beautiful and no focus issues.... awesome!
This shall be another enjoyable series to go through. Having second-hand experience troubleshooting can come in handy if I or others stumble upon similar symptoms down the line. Could also help us avoid these style of horror stories from happening to us by becoming aware of possible problems we can aim to avoid.
