I am one of the rare ones wanting to know what the chips' function is. I 100% understand why you don't care for sure. You have a donor, and you don't get paid more to know what it does. I specifically work on things because I enjoy learning about them and helping others and sometimes while troubleshooting we have to have the knowledge or at least work toward the knowledge of how the circuit works and which component(s) are faulty. Only the easy repairs show signs of damage. The harder ones often don't. I do totally get your point as a business for sure. You are super quick and have perfected making money as a business. Just sharing that that's the mindset difference for some. Is it a business or for knowledge and enjoyment.
@NorthridgeFix I have already tried to find it lol... I could not find it... These SOT devices are very hard to find information on and I have several videos talking about having a very hard time for sure.
You need to understand that while Alex is swift and efficient on repairs. He's basically doing a number of GPU repairs by cargo cult. Find a dead part, find the same part on a donor board and replace it.
Trying to get a few extra fps out of 2 generation old gpu....My 3090 hasn't left the PCIE slot it was inserted into on the week it was released..maybe it'll short circuit from dust at some point
My guess is they're still in denial about whatever episode did the damage. Somebody had to be pretty high/drunk/stupid to do that much damage to the card. That work ticket is a call for help. "This is the condition of my life. Please fix the RGB."
Thanks for the video. You're right about war. NOTHING at all prepared me for what I experienced and people who will never ever put themselves in danger like that think it's no big deal because they saw it in a movie. I wore the dude next to me my first time in a real battle. I'll never know who he was because I signed up "for some adventure" due to a medical issue that made me 4f. So there was no good reason to be there except I was out of my freakin' mind. When we got blasted, I got knocked out. When I came too, I was covered in human meat and blood pooled into my boots, squishing as I walked. Plus, it was hot as hell during dry season. It was a long time before we got back to the FOB where luckily I could wash up, change and found boots. Usually, there were no supplies like that but we won and the front moved up many miles. And there's way more to this story but every time I hear something talk S like war is no big deal, I think of how they'd be the rest of their lives experiencing something like that. I still went back 4 more times over 4 years and I have a citizen intervention in an armed robbery, saving my elderly neighbor because nothing at all compares to combat. Those three punks had no clue what they were dealing with when I told them to come point their weapons at me when they were pistol whipping an old Ukrainian guy with alzheimers who couldn't even speak English. The corrupt DA in Philly wanted to charge me for using excessive force... stopping armed robbery. That's why my city is so messed up and that robbery was 22 years ago. Hopefully Trump's AG Pam Bondi forces all Soros backed DAs out because they let those guys go right away instead of charging them because I put those perps in the hospital. Cops were there in 1 minute too because I told my gf at the time to call 911 for an ambulance first but cops were there for the take down and found the weapons. So being a hero in a blue city makes you the bad guy. There was no way I was just going to walk away and not save the old guy who was a mess. He was always getting lost, and his daughter had to find him. I bet those punks turned into career criminals after that or maybe the whoopin' they got from me made them think twice after eating a concrete sandwich, lol. No normal person would do anything like I've done.
I have had 1 of these ftw3 that i blew up with 1000w vbios and now i have my current for 2 years working/mining/rendering and gaming 24/7 straight without any issues, converted to hybrid and overclocked to the max pushing 520W, liquid metal, copper modded on 24 vram chips, hard modded etc, its a beast and i will use till it dies or doesn't do anything efficiently anymore, great company, LOVE EVGA RIP
Small mistake. EVGA has not 4090. They drop out NVIDIA with 4000 series, because they were tired of mess that NVIDIA were planning (I mean 12HPWR connector mess)
Someone who treats there card like so they really deserve to have it working again. I have a founder's Edition 3090 that iv pampered since Day 1 I gave it the Copper Mod to help prolong its life never OCed it because I want it to survive have a nice service life. This looks like alot of neglect and odd choices.

After removing the large bits of thermal paste/putty, wouldn't it have been fastest/best to clean the board in an ultrasonic cleaner instead of going through every individual spot?
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
As far as I know, the only really difference between the old 16-pin and the new is that the sense pins are shorter, the power pins are line and it's a little harder to insert and remove. They wouldn't be super easy to differentiate visually. Also... talk about Hiroshima on that 3090.
Is that a copper mod or is that card build like that? Also at 4:56 that pad looks like the plastic of that thermal pad wasn't even removed by the user 😭
I quit using Liquid metal and other exotics when i discovered the phase change pads made by, usually pop the sheet in the freezer/fridge for 15-30 min to make install easier on CPU. Most super high end enterprise server equipment uses the pads over paste not only for longevity but does dissipate heat slightly better than almost all the thermal pastes, if it's good enough for monster 192 core AMD epyc cpu with just a fat chunk of a heat sink on it i am sold for my stuff:). It's also handy for SSD cooling solutions since most good motherboards have coolers built in for the ssd's that double as cover panels so usually a upgrade from the cheap chinese thermal pad on SSD from factory, can be used for lots of other stuff like VRM's, nand chips, memory coolers, chipset heat sink/cooler and whatever else you can dream up . Made a massive difference in the 134TB NAS i built using a free poweredge rack server, temps were way lower plus more stable. I scored a bunch of server stuff and high end workstations from a cad design startup company, had to remove everything including all the network cabling. was worth it cause it was all 10G POE switches and a 48 port 2.5g POE, eaton 4u battery back ups, several servers and most were dell power edge but fairly new. can't remember all the specs but the 2 storage servers were dual xenon e7 with all the 10TB drives and they had a few other servers fire VM's and who knows what else but just got time to play with them thanks to the snow down here in south Alabama. Have a good 2.5 G LAN setup with a mini server rack but now its game on and the smaller storage server is gonna be a SSD/NVME NAS setup. Can't believe i finally get 10g networking and have the cabling thanks to having to remove it all. they literally dumped /gutted the whole building and we asking us if we wanted all kinds of other stuff, grabbed some led light fixtures, nice office chairs, desks, workstations and they even had a vacuum table i snagged for carbon fiber vac forming. Sadly i could not get the super expensive 3D printer but their old one was in back room and snagged that bambu right up and boxes upon boxes of filament, nobody even checked in there. even the regular non cad employees had nice workstations with good gaming type GPU's but the CAD guys had threadrippers or high end intel plus enterprise nvidia cards. it's been crazy sorting all this stuff along wit testing but most of it is like new. Only in america would a company just dump all this stuff, i am freaking poor and have to buy used stuff or make what i need but dickbag corporations just throw away millions in equipment just because. Makes me sick but get to test a bunch of phase change pads on all this stuff lol
I would have rejected this job as soon as it was dismantled... Sheer idiocy from the user... I bet money that the customer will attempt a future return claim on warranty with an unrelated issue.
This is 100% an attempt to do a water cooling where they tried to install liquid metal on the water cooling block. I guess they mess up maybe not tightening or installing it right where it is leaking when they try to run the water through the block. In the panic they try to take off the water block and rip that 20 caps. I guess the water that leak washed all the liquid metal that was supposed to be between the contact of the cooling block and the GPU to all over the board or during an attempt to wipe it with a cloth or something. This is my best guess.
"A cup of water" WFT man, more like a cup of molten hot metal from the local steel works !!! And come on nVidia, sort out your power connectors, how long has this been a problem now 3-4 years ? You're keeping Alex employed for the next 10 years with video cards alone !!!
Who puts a cup of water near their computer? I'm using this one for 12 years, I keep all liquids away from it at all times. No problems from liquid damage. Geez.
😂 when you mentioned shyte your pants; had one let go; almost did. My parents screamed at me when i was a kid; "WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE KIDS." Yup, you sound like me dealing everyday with idiots, morons, and aholes.
For the first card, that seems like sabotage to the card to me. Meaning he was hoping you'd feel bad for it and you'd send him a new board for free. I call foul.
My 2 cents. If you wanna protect your computer and componets from voltage surges, invest in a rackmount power conditioner. I think some of these burn connector problems stem from shitty electricity in people’s houses.
Customer most likely used liq metal, messed up, then tried to blame it on a phantom glass of water. Liq metal is an amazing thing for heat management, but you have to really know what you are doing. Definitely not for an amateur.
The connector on the cards PCB isn't what got "fixed", it's the cable end that they updated. Your still getting them because people are still using the old standard cable end, probably the factory adapter or a cable mod adapter. All of the newer PSUs should have the updated cable end for the "12v HP" harness, now called 12v-2x6.
the 4090 burned connector might be due to the connector cord. I think people are better off using the cord their power supply comes with as opposed to the NVIDIA one
Did you see Nvidia says on the news cards the cable are "fixed" so they Admit without say they SCREW on 4090 but this new 5090 is going to more high voltage ...lets see...
lol reminds me of when customers bring in their laptops to me, says "yea I think I have a virus"..you open it up and its charred from liquid damage..rgb pins lmao😂
But when you're new in this type of business you HAVE to work on this kind of devices right ? I mean you can't just refuse to work on this card when you're getting 2 clients per day for example.
send it back he played with it he can fix it himself insead of you going through all that crap that someone that has no idea on what they are doing with liquid metal
GPUs are expensive and easy to mess up. They should be treated with extreme care. I have built and repaired my work pcs for two decades and never mess with the gpus. If I wanted a better cooler on one I would buy it that way with a guarantee.
Wow! I hope you guys have a well documented process for removing ‘stuff’ off a card. That type of customer strikes me as the type that would say YOU lot did the Liquid Metal damage when dismantling it :-(
I hear the message about long, impractical repairs. I am not an expert but your argument is 100% correct just from a basic economic standpoint. Sadly there is a RUclipsr who loves to deal out snark on this subject, I would really like to know if he is in business or is a hobbyist.
1 cup of water? where is the 1 cup of water, I don't see it.. lol Shitttt, one cup of liquid metal lmao... dude I thought there was no way he was gonna touch that card with a 10 foot stick... I would have said hell no
Wondering how many videos will be about the 5090 soon :/
Probably the same for every other card. 🤷
They're maxing out the 12VHPWR already. There's absolutely going to be some melting 😂
especially if they only do one 12v power cable connector, there needs to be multiple of them so the current load is spread out

@@henrywalker8287 thought the same thing... why not add another cable to ensure that ur card that cost over 2 grand doesnt melt and ruin itself lol
Amazing how a cup of water can rip 20 caps off a PCB and then turm into liquid metal. Must be an escape from DARPA....
May be the customer have liquid metal for his drink
I'm guessing all the caps got ripped, when the customer tried to clean LM around the GPU core
This is what happens when things come back from the ninth dimension😂

at 14:24 ... liquid metal on pin side PCIE
Your commentary is gold. Curious why you didn't use flux when pulling the SMD caps and whatever that cracked component was.
5090 has Liquid Metal and FPC Connectors let's see how muh fun that brings.😂
I'm sorry to say but you people need to stop using liquid metal unless you know what the heck you are doing.
Why would anyone use liquid metal anyway, just buy a high quality thermal paste and enjoy your device
I think he bought it used. Liquid Metal damage.
I have had 1 of these ftw3 that i blew up with 1000w vbios and now i have my current for 2 years working/mining/rendering and gaming 24/7 straight without any issues, converted to hybrid and overclocked to the max pushing 520W, liquid metal, copper modded on 24 vram chips, hard modded etc, its a beast and i will use till it dies or doesn't do anything efficiently anymore, great company, LOVE EVGA RIP
You say: "LOVE EVGA RIP", but EVGA still exists. They don't make graphic cards anymore but are still making motherboards, power supplies and so on.
Did anyone ever have a statistics comparing burned card connectors to power source brand?
Small mistake. EVGA has not 4090.
They drop out NVIDIA with 4000 series, because they were tired of mess that NVIDIA were planning (I mean 12HPWR connector mess)
Oh, by the way. Liquid metal is literally the worst thing to clean. Not even joking!
not a mistake it's a 3090 🙃
@@MyZout I may cofuse some sayings on this video
Holly smokes! That's a lot of liquid metal!
Nice job as usual 👍👍
I'm trying really hard and I can't imagine how that much damage happened. Was it in a tornado?

Is that copper plate around GPU a factory solution, or it's yet another customization ?
very lucky customer , dont lies , good job FIX
I like how you compare people giving suggestions to shitting your pants in war.
“You’re going to shit in your pants when you hear the first explosion”. Classic! LMFAO!
The mentioned "new" connector is essentially the same thing but at angle. And it's on new 5090 not 4090s
Any idiot who thinks using liquid metall serves any purpose deserves to buy a new card.😅😅😅
liquid metal has its place, its just people like this think its the same as thermal paste with viscosity for some reason.

There is either "H+" or "H++" sign on one side of the connector. That's how to tell them apart. The old/melting ones don't ave it.
Ha, just wait til 5090's come out.
