I saw the thumbnail and thought, "Not another melted connector." It's good to see the NVidia can come up with new and innovative ways for a $1,600 GPU to self-destruct.
I have 4090 and did dust cleaning recently so I looked at connectors and stuff and card is like new, I do not have any issues. I do not even have big clearance between side panel and card. Zero issues. Only extra step what I am doing is verifying card installation with thermal camera and some stress testing. But I did that even with 3080 ti, because 450w small consumer electronics is insane.
The problem isnt nvidia or the card. Yes the card is a beast but there is no point running it at 100% all the time. If people used frame caps in their games (which they should because of monitor refresh rates and such) this wouldnt happen. I run minecraft with my 3060 with max settings and SEUS path tracing shaders at 60 fps vsync and most of the time it doesnt even draw 100 watts (its max power draw is 175W). If i didnt cap my fps it would max out at 175W and run at 10fps more with occasional stutters. Is that worth it?
There is a small army of dislikes 👎 My question to them is: If you dont like my videos, why are you even subscribed, just to dislike it ? Looks to me like you are on a divine mission. Dont give up. World needs to hear you out 😘
Shoutout to you, Tony!!! You've just elevated yourself to a whole new level! This is no longer GPU repair, this is GPU transplant & reconstruction! There are no limits for you, apparently! Keep it going!!! You truly deserve all the success and recognition!! On top of your mad electronic skills, the video editing with that calming and soothing music in the background made what I'm sure was challenge hours of work look like "just another day in the office" for you!
Proof, I would've thought we'd see a lot of digging and a lotta wires but 'sectional PCB transplant' was NOT something I thought was on the agenda. Simply amazing!
"Ugly" My friend you are doing art. I wish there were more people with your skill. People who are on a budget like me can't get enough of good repairmen.
Tony your creativity, humour and repair skills are signs of a very intelligent person. Every once in a while you come up with videos that completely take us by surprise. I will remember this one for a very long time. Cheers
Considering this is your first attempt at such a repair I am very impressed ! You demonstrate the knowledge, skills and adaptability required to be a most excellent tech. You undertake tasks that many technicians would shy away from. I am ‘old school’ and like to repair equipment, even if truly not economic in terms of labour time. I loved the way you approached this challenge. In case you are interested, PACE did a series of videos (I think they are on RUclips) on repairing PCB’s that shows the use of Dremel-like tools and epoxy in-fill techniques. PACE made the tools for repairing all manner of PCB damage as way back then the PCB’s cost thousands of Dollars to replace…. Not unlike the value of modern GPU’s ! Writing-off one of those specialist older PCB’s was not an option so repair techniques and tools had to be developed…. Just as you demonstrated in this video. I have had to repair a PCB that had a crack across its full width and it was challenging to say the least. Failure was just not an option and the cost of labour was just accepted by my employer. I loved this video…. far more interesting than watching certain other channels where a GPU is quickly declared a “no-fix” at the first signs of a harder repair that cannot be completed in a few minutes ! Good business but pretty disappointing for the viewer. Then again you have the skills that others may not be fortunate enough to possess ? Thank you for the time you spend on these more interesting repairs and on making the video of the event :) Update: The videos of PACE PCB repair may be found by searching RUclips for “Paceworldwide” Be warned…. These are very old videos :)
if this was an 24 hours job i would enjoy every minute of it shame that i don’t have the knowledge nor the experience (i’ll open up my own repair shop in the future but for now im running a restaurant till my lil boy all grown and i don’t have to take care of him no more) thank for letting me live through you
i always was wondering if such a thing was possible and now i got the answer i cant believe it actually worked bro this was great job u did most places would of prob deemed its a no fix
The only thing more impressive than those dinky little wires making a chonker of a 4090 function correctly - is your skills, my friend. Also, the fact that there are some people who give YOU advice is absolutely baffling to me. I cannot imagine more than *maybe* 20 other people on this planet have the GPU repair experience you do. Thanks again
2:16 Whoa! You spliced in Alex directly. I thought we didn't do those things on this 'platform'. Love it! EDIT: Regarding the work - Wow! You did well. Really well.
Excellent logical repair Tony.. Its only because of talented guys like you, Nvidia is getting away with such BIG HOLE in their initial PCB protections circuit designing failures.. Great work.. and happy to see your hard work gets to a favorable, functional result.. Keep it up!
Gpu repair work involves bone yards and bone saws as well, very good. Watching someone make it look easy means, something hard is backed by years of experience and using the correct tools and techniques.
Unbelievably Outstanding work my fellow technician. I have never seen anyone other than you willing to even attempt such a repair and you did it with style! You are Da Man!.... man. I am curious how this could have happened in the first place, I wonder if he tried to slot the card with the power on or plugged a 2x riser or plugged in reverse on MB. Great Gadzooks!

That's their best way. It will be the same for the next $2,600 GPU and for the brand new $3,600 GPU

This is what happens when you have a piece of electronics drawing almost as much power as a microwave oven.
The problem isnt nvidia or the card. Yes the card is a beast but there is no point running it at 100% all the time.

I am sure who ever designed that connector no longer has a job at NVIDIA
Bro expanded from being GPU neurosurgeon to a GPU dentist. Amazing work.
Indeed. Old Sawtooth Billy has a brand new smile.
There is a small army of dislikes 👎
My question to them is: If you dont like my videos, why are you even subscribed, just to dislike it ?
Looks to me like you are on a divine mission. Dont give up. World needs to hear you out 😘
Dislikes are accounted as activity by youtube algorithm anyway, so no worry. They're useful too.
Focus on the positive, the dislikes probably come from apple :P
must be nrf lovers.
dont blame them, they live in australia from their side the dislike button is the like button and vice versa
Could be due to not showing any results in the end as in running a benchmark or something to show how it worked?
I wouldn't have believed that was possible if I hadn't just seen it. Extraordinary skills.....
This video alone convinces me that you're the God of GPU repairs, hands down!

I would never thought this is possible. Amazing repair!
I wouldn't believe it was possible until I saw it... also he did put additional fuse protection, so next time it's not going to burn.
Amazing repair, and good detail to put a fuse.
"Ugly" My friend you are doing art. I wish there were more people with your skill.
People who are on a budget like me can't get enough of good repairmen.
Is incredible how you're able to find solutions to everything. It's amazing dude. Your precision is immaculate.
Turned out better than I expected. I don't know how you could do a better job really. Most anyone else would just call it done.
This man are not the professional repair, but the doctor repair itself.
This is living proof against those anti-repair companies.
Probably one of the best repairs i've seen in a long time! Great job!
Great solution to an otherwise irreparable card! Definitely not ugly, all things considered.
There is a backplate also luckiliy.
I thought it would be a no repair due to the video length, but I lack the words to describe how amazing this repair was!
Tony your creativity, humour and repair skills are signs of a very intelligent person. Every once in a while you come up with videos that completely take us by surprise. I will remember this one for a very long time. Cheers
This repair is nothing short of incredible ❤
Unbelievable repair, man!!! Never thought that would be possible! 👍👍👍
I love this repair - Such a Frankenstein monster of a card repair. Maybe the owner will stop pushing random amperages through the card :)
Your Shouldering skill is GOD Tier..Amazing. you inspired me as a newbie tech

Can't believe what I just saw. Absolute madlad.
Amazing fix and all the better for hearing Tony voice again. All hail Tony!
Magical repair, he makes it look easy.
there can be only one... man for this kind of fix.
Tony... Awesome repair man
Very impressive 👌 great work
What in the actual F..... this is some next level ninja assassin repair skills.😮
Impressive. You're blessed, my good man. Always entertaining watching you work your skills. Skills to pay the bills.
i have NEVER seen a PCB graft.... you sir are extremely talented, well done!
"Ugly but functional" ... right in the feels man, right in the feels.
nice to hear you.
that repair is like a triple bypass. And it lives👍🏽👍🏽
if this was an 24 hours job i would enjoy every minute of it
shame that i don’t have the knowledge nor the experience
(i’ll open up my own repair shop in the future but for now im running a restaurant till my lil boy all grown and i don’t have to take care of him no more)
thank for letting me live through you
This should be impossible to repair. I've never seen anything like this. Truly a legend
Amazing repair job! Glad you were able to save this 4090.
This dude is prob one of the best NITR0 has seen , totally NITR0 approved
i always was wondering if such a thing was possible and now i got the answer i cant believe it actually worked bro this was great job u did most places would of prob deemed its a no fix
Brilliant work mate. I wish we had someone like you in my country.
Damn, that was a good one. Thought it was gonna be a no repair for sure. Great work!
Thanks.
impressive repair. never thought this could be done.
You utter mad man. Is there anything you will not attempt? Absolutely astonishing.
Amazingly repaired, never thought that'd be possible.
This kinda repair is borderline insane and genious. I applaud your perseverance.
Great repair. I would not have thought that was possible.
It is incredible how dedicated and skilled you are. It turned much better than I was imaging. Great work.
4090... Thats is some expensive smoke!!! But I am glad you got it all back inside the card!
Great Video!!!
you are a very talented man with these repairs. I admire your fixes keep up the videos
OMG man. Good job! Good job! This is ULTRA GOD EXTREME premium level of repair 🙇🙇🙇
The only thing more impressive than those dinky little wires making a chonker of a 4090 function correctly - is your skills, my friend.
Also, the fact that there are some people who give YOU advice is absolutely baffling to me. I cannot imagine more than *maybe* 20 other people on this planet have the GPU repair experience you do. Thanks again
I can't believe this actually worked lol Incredible job.
WOW this repair was truly unique... i never thought i will see a repair like this possible. Keep up the great work !!!
If it works, it works. LOLed when you spiced in NorthRidge with "the short is gone". Great work.
Making the best repair as possible with this kind of situation. Excellent job on the repair effort in this case, I hope keep running if taken care of!
Idk why but everytime i watch this guy workmanship it reminds me of the dentist 😅
2:16 Whoa! You spliced in Alex directly. I thought we didn't do those things on this 'platform'. Love it! EDIT: Regarding the work - Wow! You did well. Really well.

Extraordinary job! Congratulations! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gpu repair work involves bone yards and bone saws as well, very good.
Watching someone make it look easy means, something hard is backed by years of experience and using the correct tools and techniques.
praised be the necromancer who can revive the corpses of the scorched ones
Magic is nothing compared to your repair skills!
This was an awesome repair if it actually works now. Hope the owner praised you.
I did learn something. Tony, you're a gpu repairing monster! That board was literally the charred re.ains of what used to be a gpu and you fixed it.
Bro is a computer surgeon 💜
That is something and your skils are quite unique, nice repair ❤
You are very skilled sir. Amazing job again!
Nice! I wonder if the owner's PCIE slot on the motherboard was also cooked,
I honestly dont know.
You SIR, are amazing at what you do
You're an artist of the highest caliber!
If there is a will there is a way! Awesome work!
I have never Seen those repairs , you are number one number number one.
I think it looks beautiful. Very good job man, this seems so impossible to do for me, although I am micro soldering myself on a regular bases...
Insane repair! I can't believe that worked.
You're an artist. Crazy skills..!
dint even imagine this level of repair is possible
Great work Doc !
Wow. My first thought was its brick. Good job
I love watching your videos! Your a master at your craft!
Holy shit. Craziest GPU repair I've ever seen.
I just love major repairs like this. Nice job
I can't thumbs up this video enough this was amazingly clean amazing work you're great
This video deserves more likes
Now.. this is on the next level!!!
"You are a Wizard, Tony"
Awesome 😎😎😎
One would have trash it😢😢😢
You save its life✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Keep it up 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
That is an incredibly creative fix! In your next video, I expect you to walk on water?
Outstanding repair!
Amazing work indeed!
This is really amazing.
Unbelievably Outstanding work my fellow technician. I have never seen anyone other than you willing to even attempt such a repair and you did it with style! You are Da Man!.... man. I am curious how this could have happened in the first place, I wonder if he tried to slot the card with the power on or plugged a 2x riser or plugged in reverse on MB. Great Gadzooks!
Great repair. My brain was shouting "use the donor pcb, as it is in better condition" though :)
Fantastic repair!! Bravo!
That's f*cking unbelievable job... Amazing skills
I have never seen that. Amazing!
Damn...not surprised you pulled this off. #respect
When you said "identical board" my first thought was to transplant the core to the healthy board.
you're magician, Tony
just wow, no words, Amazing work.
Thats pretty crazy! Really cool repair!
YOU ARE "THE Graphic`s GUY" they helping GPU/`s come Back from Hell! Lovely Video! Thank´s!
You are a king on raparing, really nice to watch you ++++++++++++++++++
