I mayyyy have gone a little further on the cleaning using some non chlorinated brake cleaner and a tooth brush, I just didn't want to show it in case I somehow broke the card further and the ebay seller happened to see the video. I also have since put the stock bios on the card and the first time I loaded heaven benchmark the clocks spiked to almost 500mhz before locking back down at 135mhz. I think this card is just truly fucked unless the actual sensor in question was reflowed or replaced.
I'M SAD ABOUT IT!
Sounds to me like you bought a dud video card, in spite of it being incredibly powerful. I'd say you should return it and get a refund. And next time, buy the same card from the actual manufacturer. eBay has its shady people here and there, and I personally think you got swindled.
You are dumbest youtuber ever seen, if cleaning with alcohol is all you can please do us a favor and return it...
If you messaged me on YT/Facebook then I probably didn't even see your message(I certainly don't remember reading anything about a Titan X). Send me an email buildzoid@gmail.com.
Just re-flash a stock BIOS onto the card. Some Maxwell cards have issues with stuck power states with their original BIOS, much like how some AMD R9 series cards can crash due to a corruption in the BIOS.
It has a mining bios on...flash it.
edit: oops...should've watched to the end.
Bios reflash. I had a Maxwell that just would never fan power up. It hit 85 C and shutdown and a reflash fix it.
I agree with you entirely, having massively written custom firmware on Maxwell, with fantastic results. He could first download the cards current firmware, and flash it back if needed. Obviously he wouldn't want to be careless, or he would risk not being able to get it out of a crisis situation. I had a card like that where I flashed the wrong file, and the screen went black on reboot. I kept my cool, and did it blind. I had to get CMD opened and type all of the path and command line out blind, and it worked after the reboot.
I did this for my rx 480 now it run a lot better before it just displayed but couldn't do anything with it.
That's what I was thinking, or modded BIos :) there's some stuff you should be able to do
did you try turning it off and on again?
😋
HAEMHA1 stfu lmao
typical Indian customer support
😞👋 facepalm
It needs a TechYes kind of loving. WD40
and some brake cleaner
To be honest, "CRC Electronics contact cleaner", spray it completely down. It will fix it. PLEASE TRUST ME BROTHER
I think he should ask Brian from tech yes city for assistance😁👌
Ultrasonic cleaner and some wd40 should fix that
I think is see a collaboration coming on 😂
i bet buildzoid could also fix it. maybe there is a better way to contact him?
b u i l d z o i d b o y z
let's contact him :D
If you're gonna send to him it better be your last hope he's gonna destroy it..
Pretty much he knows what he is doing yet still does bad practice to the cards he fucks with lol
@@Mystosia lol what I'm trying to say send it to him as last resort
This same thing happened to a friend's card after his block leaked. We did a soft scrubbing with alcohol and a soft toothbrush, dried it overnight with a fan, then did the liquid metal power shunt mod and it worked better than stock. Give it a shot man!
Bet his card won't work much longer, LM is bad for solder friend.
Right, we were aware that some people were reporting issues with that, but he didn't want to bother with trying to do any more of a "pro" mod. I know that the card was running for at least a year after the mod, but I don't know what he did with the 980 TI after he replaced it with a 1080 TI. I also modded both of my 1080 TIs that I bought right when they came out, and though I haven't taken the blocks off to look at them, the benchmark data now matches from right after the mod. I used conductonaut for both his mod and mine.
its a ex miner card with a custom bios reflash.. ..just reflash it..
No dude, nvidia dont flash bios for mining,---> AMD do...
pascal cards are the first Nvidia cards to lock bios and encrypt it.. maxwell cards have unlocked/unencrypted bios and i have bios modded many maxwell GPUs to give them custom power states, they have about 2-3x compute capability thats locked away...
3x is a over-statement...
i guess i didn't mean compute... it was about 3x profitability at a per-day rate.
Hey Timmy Joe, speak to Lewis Rossman, he may be able to sort it
he does mac repairs
@@rickyspanish7851 yes, but he'd be able to repair anything with a PCB imho...no harm in trying.
I purchased a 560ti of eBay for £10 and it had artefacts all over the screen used pcb cleaning spray it’s like high pressure rubbing alcohol then baked it in the oven 200 degrees c for 10 mins and actually fixed couldn’t believe it work been using for hours full load runs really cool it’s the Zotac 560ti 1gb btw
From experience, this could run for a few days all the way up to a year. Depends on how bad the solder joint was cracked before you reflowed it.
Brandon Osborne yea that was my understanding but been using it instead of my strix 1060 6gb been playing some old games and runs really good considering how bad it was gpu g wouldn’t show the specs of the card and it’s been running good for a week had fur mark at 1440p ran for 1hour hit 86 degrees its blower style so kinda expected higher temps
i still use a 560 Ti with 1GB and play BF1 in 1080p over 60 Fps lul. my GTX760 is Broked with Broken Memory after 20 Oven Seasons because after a Oven Season the Card worked Without Problem but after i Exit BF1 the PC Restart and the GPU Fail come back now its Dead GPU Working but after Driver Artefacts from Memory :p
and R9 390x is Suddly Broken as fucked because Short Circuit ._.
Loki Heinrich iv only done it once on my 560ti and I have not had any issues yet still using it running it really hard it’s still not had any issues still not put my 1060back in yet it helps to use the cleaner then bake it then leav it to cool before moving it
I just came across this. I actually bought the card you returned for $220 CAD, lol. The seller relisted it "AS-IS". As soon as I saw the purple crap on your board I knew. Turns out it was a simple fix. A 2n7002k mosfet seemed to have broken off. I had one laying around so I soldered a new one back on and 5 min later voila! Works like a charm!
oof
Haha legend
This comment should be pinned
That was a bit lazy. If you bought a videocard for playing around with on the channel to make money from youtube with it then you should go all the way with it. Just reflash it with a different bios or even a modded bios.
Why do you have a tech channel on youtube if you dont dare to play with hardware?
next up on cptn. butthurt....
He doesn't make that much money from RUclips to just throw $500 CAD down the toilet ... idiot
reese b Reflashing a card is hard? Even if it bricks u can flash it back either in blind/dark mode or with a second card/igpu... There is no need to call people names even if they are idiots ;P
just look at the thermal paste application. that dude is a total noob.
atatopatato - it looks like how it comes from the factory. I wouldnt say its a good re-application, but its not bad either. Id say its sloppy, but it wont hurt anything.
Try to reflash bios
as many said, reflash bios und give it a isopropanol bath
A perfectly working Titan X is not worth even $380... Its beaten by a GTX 1070, which new is about that price with a warranty. Even my much more powerful Titan Xp Star Wars collectors edition is going for $800 in good condition, so a really old Maxwell card is probably worth ~$320 only if it is in great shape, maybe $400 if it has a full waterblock.
I just bought a couple nice R9 Fury for dirt cheap, 2x of those beat my Pascal flagship Titan (in most of my games, there are a few like Fortnite that the Titan wins). So why not get duel Fury for the same ~$400? Its way better.... And they work. Speaking of which, I'm very certain they were mining cards, because they came in an AntMiner box and the seller was getting rid of a ton. They are the highest overclocking Furys I own, so LOL, turns out mining doesn't phase them in the slightest. I'll have fun with 4x Firestrike benchmarks later when Threadripper gets here, then do some 4k and triple 4k benchmarks.

But why sell a gtx 1080ti who literally crushes the titan x maxwell to get a broken maxwell titan x?!
La marmotte des internets to play with different hardware of course 🙂
That's how he provides content for us to consume
La marmotte des internets I did the same exact thing. I sold my 1080ti for $1200 and bought a $350 titan x.
Hello from Malaysia, Was here before you had 997 subscribers and now here we are at 61k! I'm looking forward for your Silver Play button soon! love your vids man
Just finishing my work day and my main man Timmy Joe rocks up with a tasty video thats right up my street (I love trying to make stuff work!) - perfect timing sir! Cant wait to see how this goes!
You should check out a channel called my mate Vince. He repairs all kinds of different stuff he buys broken from eBay.
@@HerbalZebra ah yeah I love that channel :) actually commented on his video he released today and got a reply :D
I would say try cleaning out the HDMI port with alcohol ( obviously the higher the % the better) It seems that something is shorting out on the HDMI port and since HDMI can transmit power it maybe causing your issues
Yea i was thinking the same thing i would put the card in some bowl or some plastic dish and cover all hole card in high % alcohol for few hours and let it dry and check again
Learn how to clean circuit boards. When I worked as a bench tech at a PCB assembly house we used cut down flux brushes to clean boards. Plus we used a stronger cleaner than rubbing alcohol. What you want is a product called flux remover.
I bought a Maxwell Titan x for 200 dollars US about a week ago from a guy locally. I still cant believe it! It still has the original cooler and works flawlessly. I was going to put it in a dual x5675 build and sell it as a workstation pc.... but I think I'll keep it now...
There is the possibility that someone shunt modded the resistor with liquid metal.
The liquid metal ruins solder and can even have partially or totally de-soldered the shunt resistor.
Check its resistance as read by the chip that measures the voltage across it. So find a place far from it on the board by following the tracks and check its resistance (so you can check all the connection through to it from the power measurement chip and not miss liquid metal effects on the solder through to it). The chip that reads the voltage across it will have very high resistance so won't affect the reading. The resistance should be stated on the resistor.
It may be too high if it has been de-soldered, even an open connection depending on the damage. You may need to get an e.g. 5W 50ohm resistor and put it across to replace it.
Or try putting another resistor in parallel anyway, even if its reading the correct resistance, like a normal shunt resistor mod.
If its reading 158% power usage all the time, the problem is very likely here, and reducing its resistance, like a shunt mod, is likely the best way to help.
"Give it a good blow off" Timmy Joe 2018
''Trump gave me a Titan X due to Tariffs and I am butt hurt about it.'' Timmy Joe 2018. lol no tariffs no titan x. an american would of bought it. your own words.
and look in to liquid metal shunt mod i think.. @timmyjoepctech
If the TDP is reading too high, its because there is an issue with one of the two resistors. Easy to fix and there are lots of guides online for the Titans. Previous owner may of done a shunt mod with liquid metal. Overtime, the liquid metal can eat away the solder on the resistor. Just need to reheat the solder and resistor with a soldering iron and maybe add fresh solder.
Talking about maxwell i picked up a GTX 980 off kijiji for 200$ the other day
i got a 1070 for 200
I as well picked a gtx 980 FE card for $200 which run most games on high/ultra at 1080p above 100fps. At that price for the resolution you really don't need anything else more powerful then that for gaming.
Yeah true im happy with mine its a gigabyte windforce OC , for 150 us its a steal
try gta on ultra at 1080p, you won't be getting 100 fps
@@Mystosia I normally do with an 980. If you don't you might be having a cpu bottlenecking.
Don't feel bad the Sherriff doesn't like anyone, that's just how he rolls
Last time I was this early the doc screamed "OH FUCK PUT IT BACK IN".
Timmy , power usage is typically measured using a shunt resistor, the water most probably shorted this resistor out , if you had any old dead card laying around I guarantee they have the correct resistor on them to replace the shunt resistor.... More you know.
"LETS PUT LOUD ASS ANNOYING FUCKING BIRDS ALL THROUGH THE INTRO OF THE VIDEO FOR NO GODDAMN REASON" - TimmyJoe 2018
I'm sure some have already suggested it but I would scrub it THOROUGHLY with a toothbrush and alcohol and then give it the oven treatment, it has worked for me in the past. Good luck, love the videos.
keep it, i alcohol tooth brush cleaned mine, and replaced the r33 inductor, worked fine, i believe in you king 👑
SOAK it in alcohol don’t be light with it
and if worse comes to worse bios flash
Can u Help me out? I have a Strix R9 390x with Short Circuit, the Card dosnt Detected from Bios/Windows, fan not Spinning only Logo Lightning. i removed 4-5 Caps (270µF 16V) but its not the Fault. :c
Soak it in alcohol then take a air compressor to it to blow out all the junk. get under the onboard chips and still give it time to dry. An air compressor is way stronger and soaking the board for 5 to 10 min wont be bad.
It looks like it very much could be repaired. you just got to find the right person that knows how to do board level diagnostics and repair. There is a fair amount that try and a few that know what they are doing.
Its because you dropped it before opening the packet
A little more constructive comment would be this one.
If the coolant was conductive and landed on the sensor then it was most likely shorted to ground if not completely killed (both would exhibit the same behaviour) this means that the signal from the sensor is stuck at its highest value since most sensors will get locked at max when the fail and that would be confusing the card to hell and back. Shunt modding would probably fix this since that allows the current flow to bypass the sensor. However replacing the sensor would have the same effect.
(Shunt mods can be done with something as simple as liquid metal thermal paste and are thus not a permanent mod if you do it that way so it's worth a try. I had a 980ti do this to me a while back, although it was flat out refusing to boot because of it but it was the sensor causing the issue and shunt modding gave me back at least some functionality while I figured out how to replace the sensor.)
I bet it's been shunt modded.
6:34 what is 1090 ti ?!!?
The GTX 980 Ti is literally the same card with maybe a 1% difference
From experience, I only use 4.5GB of VRAM with a single 980 Ti 5040x1050.
That’s a triple monitor setup, I do like the Titan X Maxwell by I wouldn’t recommend it. Nice buy!
That's Titans in general, a 1080TI and a Titan XP are the same card and same chip, just the Titan is binned a bit better and clocks a hair higher and has one more gig of memory.
What about the PNY GTX1080? That's what I have on my desktop pc with an i7-4770k. Wonder how it would compare to this titan x card.
@@sburton015 a normal 1080 blows a Maxwell titan out of the water
Use some CRC Brake Clean to clean the PCB. Coolants can be conductive. This may fix the issue, as Nvidia uses a shunt resistor to determine power usage of the card. You may want to use some LM on the shunt resistors to raise the power limit.
EDIT : The shunt resistors are marked "5MO", and there are three of them. Apply a thin layer of LM on them, then test to see what your results are.
I wouldn't use brake clean on a PCB. It might eat plastic. There are actually board cleaning products on the market that are the right stuff to use.
And I wouldn't take your advice, because you have no idea what you are talking about. I am a Mechanic, and I use Brake Clean all of the time on PCB's. Not once have I had an issue with using it.
Maybe you should know what you're talking about before chiming in on a subject with your opinion, spouted as fact.
I only assembled circuit boards professionally so I would think that qualifies me as a professional on the topic. Are you an auto mechanic? Most of them are barely qualified to change a fuse. Shouldn't you be installing tap splices under a dashboard?
I would never use brake cleaner on an expensive pcb. Especially when contact cleaner is available and cheap.
Oh great! Another one! Have the two of you even tried it for yourselves? And Paul, I'm the guy that fixes your assembled circuit boards. And the assholes you're talking about, are called Service Technicians. And by the way...
ruclips.net/video/dea1P21ppvE/видео.html&
You should send it to this Eli tech guy he fixes broken GPU on youtube.
I would try soaking it in high % alcohol for few hours. and let it dry and see if was an coolant leakage on the card. Because if you tried different bios and card had no visible damage.
yeah shipping from US to Canada already sucked, adding tarrifs just makes it not worth it to ship
Need to return it. The seller had the benchmarks before the liquid spill. What ever was spilled on the card shorted something out.
I got one yesterday with a EK block for $150 and the stock cooler had no screws so a dead 7970 sacrifed the screws and I made the EK backplate fit and it seems to work mint...
As João Veludo is mentioning your card is not raising the clock's because there is a short in the power delivery. Look at the video of der8auer of the new rtx2080 overclocking. He is modifing the power delivery chip's so that the card can consume more power. But there is a problem, the card goes in to fail safe mode because there is too much electricity flow. If you can locate these power delivery chips you can maybe solve the problem. Good luck with that!
+Timmy Joe PC Tech I've had issues with Gigabyte GPUs not detecting or misinterpretated the PWM fan connector on 3rd party coolers. I think it happened first time when I put accelero Xtreme 120-III on my friends r9 290 gigabyte windforce edition and the GPU detected the cooler fan as beyond 10 000 000 RPM and did not spin with no other cooler one of which I had from like HD 4850. Only the original worked.
Reflow the Shunt resistors with a soldering iron. they probably used liquid metal, instead of a bios mod.
Only the cool kids had Titan X Maxwell.
still rocking mine XD
Bah, Nvidia screwed me ages ago, never went back. Sure blah blah is a little faster. But blah blah does this and that... Nope Im an AMD man.. Love my Vega64. dont care about Nvidia.. they just seem to have problems.
Depending on the chemicals some brake cleaners will clean that purple stuff up with no issues. I have used them on pcbs before without breaking anything, just watch out for super thin plastics and that is about it.
The Titan Maxwell is basically a 1070 in performance. So paying $380 USD for it is a pretty terrible deal. Here in Australia, we can get 1070's used for about $250 - $300 USD
Backup the bios. And after modify it. So if it's failed, you can grap a another card and reflash the backup bios on the failed one.
I just picked up an MSI Gaming GTX 980 in the box for $120 usd, im so stoked, thats what i payed for a GTX 780 4 months ago.
Download nvflash and get the original bios from techpowerup(look good at the bios version p/n brand vram etc). Then flash the bios with nvflash
That beginning asmr
youtube: rtx!
timmyjoe: maxwell!
lmao
I sold a titan ☓ maxwell for 300 dollars. I gave the dude a good deal cause he lived in Alaska too. Somehow our market is more skewed than somewhere else. I guess.
I just got one last night on ebay for 360 , titan x . I don't want it I ended up buying a gtx 1080 your welcome to buy it your self timmy joe.
Try uninstalling MSI Afterburner. I had an issue with it once on a card where it would stay at it's lowest power state after installing Afterburner, staying at 150mhz. Uninstalled and the card functioned normally afterwards.
I bought one in the U.S A couple months ago for 300 with the stock cooler and it works great
Haven't finished the video yet but, it MAY need the YES man cleanse! @Tech YES City
Clean it with CRC contact cleaner, then reflash the stock bios on it.
sounds like a bios flash gone wrong
My guess is that it is probably a mining card, it got doused when his water cooling blew, and then he got it working enough for benchmarks, or the benchmarks were from before it had issues. I would start with PCB cleaner and a bios reflash, and maybe clean out the display/HDMI ports
Just wanna say from running a small business in the states and having shipped to Canada for a few years before and after trump the reason why alot of Americans don't ship is due to the paperwork involved with shipping to your country and certain licenses you have to have as a small retailer. Even if you try to ship something and don't claim it as retail it tends to be a hassle. With Amazon you can get around the paperwork but USPS, UPS, and FedEx have ridiculous prices and information to fill out about the product. Love your channel
Maybe there's a computer parts repair specialist somewhere
Use a break cleaner. Either the guy used shunt mod for OC or the liquid coolant he used spilled over PCB is interfering with the sensor. In my opinion the sensor is fine as it is showing some reading, try to fluctuate it for confirmation using Afterburner.
I would rather get a used 1080 on eBay. I managed to get an EVGA Hybrid 1080 for only $340 and it has been working for over 6 months.
Clean it with brake cleaner and then with soap and purrified water. This will clear up all impurities.
Man that sucks. Would've been sweet if it worked. I got my 1080ti off of Craigslist for $340. Still the proudest moment of bargain hunting I've had haha.
BEFORE I WATCH the video I looked up prices and you can get a GTX1070 for roughly the same price but BRAND NEW. The GTX1070 is a little faster, quieter (with similar cooler), with Warranty to boot. Bad mistake? Duh. And glancing down quickly it's broken? Wow.
have a few titan x's on the way from ebay for good deals (maxwell not pascal) and I am scared, hopefully they a ren't fake cards, or lower end cards that had a titan x cooler slapped on them.
Damn. I guess I got a steal of a deal at $400 for a working one in Hamilton ON 2 years ago on Kijiji.
I use Methylene Chloride, or put the pcb in a commercial Branson ultrasonic with 3M FE degreasing solution.
Also run Nvidia Bios update program it will check and see if bios needs updating.
Nvidia has problems with their drivers right now. I haven't done an extensive read. But I know for a fact the new windows 10 update for all Nvidia cards the drivers are going to the wrong place and not giving out sound.
Picked up a Titan X pascal for 280$ just last week, works flawless.
I'm wondering if he had all those benchmark pictures taken beforehand, and a loop failure or user error in cleaning the loop, caused a spill, and damaged the card.
Thats a killer deal $380. My PCI-E slot has broken down so I have to buy a whole new PC (Z97 irreplaceable). Artefacting EVGA GTX 780 Classified. My EVGA 750Ti FTW does it also. In fact I get a black screen. Lucky RTX is out next week!
I'd rather have a GTX 1070 (same price new with warranty, and should be slightly faster). But hey, I prefer to take out the real Titans at that price... Just snagged 2x Fury for under $400, and 2x of them beats my Titan Xp collectors edition, so yeah, knocking over the Pascal Flagship like nothin'!
Those were likely screenshots/benchmarks of the card BEFORE the waterblock blew up all over it.
how about the oven trick???google it .that be the last resort for a bricked card..may fix that sensor..
just put it in the dishwasher like how they say on the internet since you can wash computer parts : P
If you can't fix it, send it to Louis!
No cooling pads on the chokes? no cooling pads on the ram? i am betting a temp sensor someplace in between is keeping it from clocking up due to overheating... i had an issue with my 1070 when i blew the dust out of the heatsink and replaced the thermal compound on the main heatsink and didn't realize that when i put it back together that one of the thermal pads moved off one of the chokes and caused it to instantly thermal protect itself..
Yeah but can't you get 1070 ti's at auction for the same price and similar performance. With a cooler?
Sorry to tell you its expensive to ship things from the US to Canada and vice versa because of Canadian tariffs my man. Thats part of how you get enough tax money for that "free" healthcare
Well at least 3.2 trillion per year in America's non free health care is top notch best in the world............hahahaha
Got a titan x $300. Best investment I have ever made
use chlorine free brake cleaner or electronic cleaner on the card qtips are the best for them small hard to clean o areas or let build zoid to give a crack at it he is boss to revive cards
I didn't show it in the video but I always use brake cleaner. I just wanted to make sure the eBay seller didn't try to say I broke it because of the brake cleaner :)
I worked as a pro bench tech at a board assembly house and there wasn't a Q-Tip in sight. We didn't use them. We did use modified flux brushes though. You need bristle flick to clean PCBs.
@@TimmyJoePCTech oh ok gotcha love your vids man keep it up and damn that the card didn't work 😢
Paul Frederick, what do you think of gently using a soft bristle tootbrush?
any brush is better than something with fiber like a paper towel or a Q-Tip. But with a toothbrush the handle is not the best angle for cleaning boards. You want to keep your hand over the board and out of the parts. It would still work though. We use flux brushes (sometimes called acid brushes) and cut them down short at a low angle with scissors to stiffen the bristles up some. With the angle flux brushes are a bit more aggressive and reach better into nooks and crannies. You need bristle flick to get stuff off boards. Though on open parts of circuit boards where there are no parts we pat with paper towels to soak stuff up. We clean flux residue off boards. But it is gunk on boards. This is what a flux brush looks like and you cut about half the bristles shorter with scissors at about a 15 degree angle workingsilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/p-987-brs98005.jpg
I've seen a few of these floating around, I said screw it and just bought a 1070 instead, cheaper and better
I bought the an evga for 113.8 usd today on ebay
"GeForce GTX TITAN X 12gb. Item is a customer return.
Sometimes will boot sometimes not, drivers load when boot and sometimes it will crash the system."
sounds like someone liquid cooled their mining rig. that said, its likely custom flashed to run in series, so you need to wipe it and re install a current bios to fix the sensor. the ports you can salvage, if its Vue fluid dried on there from a leak, that stuff is non electrical conductive, but is likely blocking power transmission acting as a giant resistor. your best bet is break cleaner to remove the residue. beyond this however if that fails what is most likely is that you have a short to ground on the HDMI circuit which does include the thermal sensor, in which case it will require soldering assuming you can find the failed resistor, do you still have your thermal cam?
12:02 "Would have been at least a 1080" I have seen numerous tests where a Titan X give at last 10 fps more then a 1080 TI, so am I missing something here?
dtiydr you saw Titan X Pascal. This is Maxwell
Can get refurb titan x on evga website for 599, titan x SC for 899, or a titan z for 1200.
I think I saw this card a few weeks back, decided against it and went with one I got for $365. Works like a charm
Really bummed the card didn’t work. eBay is such a crap shoot. ..anyway, glad you can get your money back.
eBay is not a crap shoot. If the item is not as described you open a dispute and eBay sees that you get a full refund. I have bought literally thousands of items on eBay. Mostly electronics and can count the problems I have had on one hand. Secondly you have to be a savvy buyer. A little common sense goes a long way.
Did the previous owner attempt a shunt mod? Is there a resistor missing, or shorted badly with either solder, wire or liquid metal?
Sounds like shunt mod gone bad
Shorting the resistors with Liquid metal could help
380 us is not s steal for a Titan x TBH, I see them go all the time at 350 us (around 500aud) all the time
Brake cleaner will clean this right up. Also 99% isopropyl can't hurt. I'm serous try the brake cleaner. Also I'm not 100% sure but if you can soak it in something that can't kill it might be worth a look.
