Incredible you make the difficult seem easy, you are German precision at its best, my admiration

Really impressive work. In a normal economy most of these wouldn't be worth that much labor, but things are not normal at all right now. Even repaired like that a 3090 could fetch you a could thousand US dollars easily.

Normal is repairing. Wasting resources to push out new cards every year is NOT normal.

I have no idea what you're doing, but I enjoy watching it.

It's nice to see a professional working cleanly

Perfect soundtrack for a work of art 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love the way you work , so thorough learning so much from you .. Germany efficiency at its best :)

I could not belive myself that I watched this operation from strat to end. You are very good at your job. I am so sad person because I bought a second hand MSI 3090 TI and after 5 months I realized that the card has problems and not working at all now and MSI did not repair it(with payment or with warranty) because I don't have the sales document of the card ( seller told me that serial number will be cover the warranty. But I learned that it is a total lie) I hope I can find a super man in my city Istanbul... If I can't find any I will try to reach you.

I just watched a guy down in the Philippines sort of reball a gig chip on a 570 gtx card. It was an 8 gig graphics card. First he put solder flux where the chip had been. He had spent 1/2 hour removing corrosion with his tweezer tips then using a brush over and over to sweep the corrosion away. After putting flux on the card down beside the graphics chip he then used braid to remove the leadfree solder from the memory slot cleaning it pretty well. Now he had 1/2 clean and ready to put down the reballed chip. What he did was clean the memory chip after quite some time with his tweezers cleaning the corrosion off the memory chip. I thought he would now be ready to reball the chip and put it on. No he fluxed the memory chip and with the large solder tip used the large solder iron to smooth the uneven balls on the memory chip by moving it rapidly through the flux and now was ready to install the memory chip. No errors and the chip performed perfectly with I don't know what solder.

Very nice fix sir, well done! A good example of when reballing is the proper fix :)

Very well done, Enjoyed watching a pro at work. I have owned a honton r490 BGA for about 10-11 years. But still only intermediate! As for you, Your level of Detail & precision! Your for sure at a professional level! I thought I was a Pro, But I learned a few things watching this Video! So im for sure only in the intermediate level if that lol. I am self taught without any schooling, just always had an interest in repairing. I have always been good at surface mount soldering & re-balling.

Not a fan of liquid metal for any pc components. This is a major reason why. Only non conductive thermal paste. Beautiful music. Loved it in 2001.

I did some microsoldering at my last job, soldering very small gauge camera wires to USB PCBs. It's hard to understand the level of precision and steady hands required to do this until you have actually tried to do this. Kris makes it look so easy, but I guess that just comes with experience, though having the proper equipment to do this doesn't hurt either. Very nice job!! There is a really nice sense of satisfaction that comes along with taking something that doesn't work and not only fixing it, but returning it to the state is was from the manufacturer. The ones that really impress me though is repairing broken inner PCB traces, like the cracked PCBs that have been happening on some Nvidia GPUs, that is a skill few possess, at least to do it properly and not utterly terrible and sloppy looking.

I'm amazed. You are an artist at your trade. You are definitely an artist.

Awesome work !!!

Yeah, I dont get why someone would take that risk for a few degrees of temp reduction. You can buy AIO adapter kits to water cool your GPU without trying to run a full water loop setup. And it's such an expensive GPU, the risk/reward ratio is just way to much.

Amazing job.

Awesome Job 👍

Very impressive, incredible work

Amazing job, such a tedious repair. What gets me is how people can be so careless on a card this expensive? Using conductive thermal paste is bad enough, using too much is just asking for failure. I never have and never will use conductive paste, as it doesn't make enough difference anyways other than cost needless money for destroyed parts.

Very nice and complicated job

Was eine geile Arbeit! Wusste gar nicht das dies so "einfach" (mit Fachkenntnisse und Gerätschaft) möglich ist. Wird durch die Einwirkung der Temperaturen eig. der Chip bzw. RAM in irgendeiner weise beeinträchtigt/beschädigt? Denn die Komponenten selbst haben ja auch eine innere maximale Temperaturlast. Wenn ich die Preise auf der Website sehe würde ich meinen ihr könnt ruhig mehr verlangen. Aber das ist rein meine Meinung dazu. Also wie eingangs erwähnt, super Arbeit! Ich lass mal ein Abo hier und werde mir weitere Videos anschauen. Auch die technischen Aspekte sind interessant. Keep it up!

28:52 "Just take your time here, don't rush" he says, as if any of us are manually reballing a GPU in our downtime.

Hi, Thanks for the amazing content. I was curious, do you keep the board on something that keeps it warm....the desoldering looks so easy when you do it. I would imagine that these boards absorb loads of heat. how do you make it look so easy?

liquid metal is messy when you slop it on. nice choice of music to go with the nice work.

You can use solder pate to reball to make reballing quick and easy

amazing

What thermal pads do you recommend to use when servicing 1mm or 1.5mm or even 2mm cards???

A 60 minute advert for "Why you shouldn't use liquid metal."

I'm so jealous. I wish I had this skill set

I liked already, thank u for share. I want to ask something. I try to reball vram or gpu crystall like u but the stencil on it. Iam using a little bit of amtech flux, and stencil on it and reball nicely (sometimes stencill boobling like a dome whit hot air and i do all process again, solder balls goes different locations, loose me time), but when i take off stencil and give hot air, solder ball start moving whit flux (not because of airflow level, i try it %10 %20 %30 power). Solder balls touch each other or all going to move somewhere out of pads. Please make a video about it. Are u reball them on preheat machine or what. Thanks 👍

@KrisFixGermany

2 жыл бұрын

You probably use too much flux. I reball the chips with reflow station ( infrared heaters). With hot air you can reach the flux activation temperature very quickly and everything starts to move. Try to preheat the chips to around 180-200 degrees and after that use hot air , airflow - 10% temperature- 260 / 280

Does it matter in what position u put them memory chips cuz i'm OCD, he's putting them randomly, ones looking up other ones looking down not organized, does it matter?

customer " i have a perfectly good 3090 that i decided to take apart to totally fuck it all up cuz i think i know what im doing but even though i know what im doing its not working anymore can you look at it" like if the card needed liquid metal on it to stay cool the manufacture would of prob put it on it

Really good and informal in depth video! Could you share where you got the gpu memory test software for nvidia and amd gpus? Also what temperature did you use on the reflow machine when you were reballing the chips?

Also i'm quite certain i wouldn't make such a liquid metal mess with my laptop, would install a foam dam etc, but i'm still thinking whether i should just skip it... would be a pity to damage it after i already repaired the PCB elsewhere because reball is not something i would be able to do. The laptop is 9 years old now but you know one hangs onto things once you put some work into it.

Hey, I have a question, nice video! I changed the thermal paste on my XPS 9570, but forgot to connect the gpu fan header, after playing some games, it immediately crashed, so I noticed temps were quite high, I thought it was a bad paste job (since I put liquid), but then laptop restarted and some dell thing started, it said the gpu fan was not connected, so after connecting it temps were fine, but now it crashes above a certain oc threshold (eg. performance has degraded), could something have gotten damaged? Where would I look first? Thanks for any reply, again, great video.
