I left a comment in the first video that explains more, but I'll briefly say it here too: These cards were out of damaged Falcon NW workstations from Meta. Never taken apart by me, and I highly doubt they were at Meta. They were basically brand new aside from the physical damage.
the even best worse one!
Has to make you laugh that as the cards have gotten obese with so much cooling/ weight there is still the insane need to have it directly interface with the MB. I cannot see why these cards could not be mounted in the box and just run leads for the interface and the I/O. Great vids I have learnt a lot from listening to your commentary as you work.
Hey couldn't you use a bigger magnet to take the magnetic caps off?
You just need to adjust your warranty policy for certain fixes – you can't just have a blanket policy. Or just consider it a no fix and avoid the future hassle.
And the fact that they are there in the first place generally shows the level of care – why does anyone invest that much money and then treat it like shite is beyond me.
25 mins – "Goodbye"
Glances at video to see 10 minutes left
Don't think so…. 😉
You have to be able to make exceptions to warranty work. Repair of a ripped PCB should be one of those exceptions that you tell the customer before you even start the job. Upon acceptance of the repair not being warrantied work, proceed. Otherwise, pack it up and send it back.
So what you says that If I have to do it , forget the crack repair and go directly to the PCB swap ?
How much do you charge for this job if I can ask ? (work only, without the PCB)
The glue residue is indicative of a company inventory barcode sticker. Stuck on the PCB above the PCI-E slot because that's the same location for every card regardless of cooler that's universal and less likely to get accidently removed with installing or removing. Cards probably died, scanned out of service, sticker removed, and sold off or sent to a recycler who sold them
Use blu tack to remove the magnetic caps.
Have you tried playdoh or some other kind of putty for removing the magnetic screw covers? They apparently stick to the putty and become easy to remove.
That discord pop at 12:13
Ohhhh yeahhh. Hahahah
Short is gone. 😂😂😂😂
Sounds like a FDM Printer in the background 😄
seeing all this cracked gpus makes me glad i got a fe 4090, built like a tank and no sag
Just out of curiosity but how long do you warranty your fixes Tony?
My 2080 had 20 ripped traces from a crack in the pcb (my first ever gpu repair) and its still going strong with about 20/30 insertions… But its also a two slot blower card with no sag, so its a best case scenairo.
Right now im working on a 3080ti with missing memory channels A & F, both had ripped pads under the lowest chips to the slot connector, luckily the core had no ripped pads, but there were two grey pads underneath. I fixed most of the ripped pads but i missaligned the chips on channel F during reflow so this week im going to finish reballing the core and i have two more pads to fix under channel F0 from my last removal.
I have one of the Zotac 4090s and they even go as far as sending you a magnetic stand with instructions on how to set it up right so the GPU isnt under so much stress. So I really don't know how people don't consider or brush over that with such an expensive card
Shit, i'll repair cracked PCB's all day long, but i wont warantee it more than 7 days from the date of repair.
I saw that exact 4090 on ebay a few weeks ago and i noticed how bad the bracket was ripped from the pcb and heatsync.
" And the short is gone "
Finally you're getting why people don't repair GPUs with physical damage
Hey Tony, as usual.. what a beauty. Nice, precise work. We need to start having star points for customers sending cards, who manages to not pack properly and break few strong weld points, and dent the plates, cards etc..👍👍
Those crack repair videos are fun, hope you record atleast one zotac.
People cracking their expensive PCBs. I will be sure to take care of mine!
I would recommend taking a high resolution photo from both sides and cataloguing them for later use, then you can make your own schematics!
oh yeah, when I win lottery, I will buy a 5090 or 6090 probably, make it damaged, and send to Tony for repair
No my eyes the sunlight is burning my eyes 😂
No my eyes the sunlight is burning my eyes 😂
how on earth did they mess up those 4090s that bad 😭😭😭
Didn't know that 3090ti already was with that "point-o-fuckup" aka "new 12v connector" 🙂
Why is the video brighter than usual?
16:53 Giggidy giggidy alright (c) Quagmire
So much violence in this world. What percentage of cards at your desk have broken from mishandling?
a zotac 4090 in Canada is $3000 July2024 fools r the only ppl buying these @ them prices.
Really hoping nvidia lives up to the rumors, and goes back to dual slot for rtx 5090. Its stupid how much weight they're asking a pcb to hold up.
Is that a 3D-Printer I hear in the background of the video, Bambu X/P-Series??
Yay the sequel finally
