yes we all learned, don't go to Northridge fix with a GPU, unless your connectors melted. LET THAT BE A LESSON!!!!!!!

I dont know man I tried watching a random video the other day and he went on some rant about the connectors being faulty and breaking off of the board when the customer clearly cut it off because he wanted to solder the wires direct for some stupid reason. If you cant tell the difference between something being broken or cut that doesnt give me much faith.

I keep saying this. Better buy a new card than go to NRF. You'll spend more money and waste time without getting a proper diagnosis. There's a repairshop in my country with 95% success rate. They reball, replace resistors, replace chips other than drmos, etc. Northridgefix doesn't even have an ultrasonic cleaner

Your typical foreign repair shop.. they don't give a shit about their work or you.

I finally learned what the problem with the 2mm pads was and why it didnt work. It was because they were NEVER 2mm but instead 2.25 from factory. So now i always check pads size instead of trusting the label.

Where can this info be found? Maybe you have a link or something?

NRF business model is simple: fast and easy repairs = fast and easy money. Complicated repairs like data recovery, digging several board layers to fix a crack or reballing a core with stripped pads underneath it will result in the device returning for warranty. Krix fix Germany no longer provides some of these repairs because it is time consuming and mostly likely will return for warranty. I think you already encountered this with GPUs you have repaired. Once you start thinking about saving time and money, you would appreciate his approach 🤣

NRF business model works because there aren't many shops that do repair to the component level. YT is their positive avenue of exposure. Everything else is so so to really bad. And it doesn't take much to understand why. As Alex has said, family comes first.

It's amazing to me how many failed electronics can be so easily fixed by skillful, insightful, and dedicated technicisns. I'm a long-time electronics hobbyist, and modern-day consumer electronics are still pretty daunting. Helps to have the right quality tools and knowledge/experience! :) Good job!

I fully agree. Since the pandemic, I learned how to solder electronics and Ihave done myself basic repair, like recapping boards, replacing diodes and transistors… fixed a lot of stuff that would need to be replaced and gone to landfill. I can clearly see the planned lifecycle for products…. Expensive TVs using cheap capacitors that saved the OEM a couple of dollars in a product that costs $1000 and will surelly fail within 5 years, of course after the 1-2 year warranty period. Meanwhile, I have some electronics from 1980 and early 1990s that still run sperfectly - and guess what? Good japanese capacitors. So our engineering evolved, we have CAD and other modern tools, but somehow and intentionally we make less reliable products

I have watched all your vids, and after every one I yell at my self, "Send him my Titan card, NOW!" I really need to do that!

You are welcome man. We are all very grateful for your videos.

you nailed it with the pads in this one, nice delta hot spot, and nice memory temps.

I like watch these repairs even I'm not fixing myself.

Not only is your work outstanding, you seem to have a good general attitude.

Hey Tony.. great diags as always, making it a real fix! excellent work.. keep it up! 👍👍

always pleasure to watch troubleshooting

Another great repair tutorial, really enjoy these. These gpus should come with a matrix that lists pad thickness, would save a lot if time. Another lesson from the gpu master. Cheers...

I love watching tony fix stuff others have deemed "no fix".... Northridge fix is an amateur compared to Tony, I've sent him many GPUs and he has fixed every one of them. Thanks Tony, keep up the great work!

Hey there , yah I get it you’ve re-balled more gpus than NRF replaces shorted mosfets and it’s probably boring for you, something you can do in your sleep. But it’s so satisfying to watch you do that every time ! Plus you have to remember your new viewers who never saw you work before . You literally make it look easy. Try an not skip it if you can ! Cool ! Thanks !! Love your vids !

Thanks to you too Tony. If it wasn't for you, I'd probably be hunting for a time machine to watch How It's Made.

Also thank you man being so true with us no one does this, they use to hide some steps ,you are amazing ❤

Thanks for your valuable contents 👌

I have that exact card and I have swaped to 2mm thermalright pads and they worked nicely for 6 months, less than 14c delta to the hot spot. However, the backplate uses 2.5mm pads, not 1.75, not even 2mm. Then I blocked it with a biksky block and have been running it fine since then. Solid card. Original cooler is pretty anemic for it.

Good thing these broken solder joints seldom seem to cause any permanent damage to other components.

And the pads are gone! the pads are gone

It was causing core to overheating and shutdown due to overheating long before it would post so it would have no power by the time you get to the memory test. Pads may have contributed to the problem because core was pressed on one edge.

I had to do a few crazy sizes in my zotac to keep it from running hot, 3mm 2.5mm and 2mm all on the same card smh

Any chance youd be willing to do only a re-paste and re-pad on several 3090s? I have this exact issue with overheating, they otherwise run great.

Tony- so the lack of GPU support probably caused the original problem you think?

Should be called Northridgescam.

Why does the thickness matter, they look compressable enough to make 0.5mm difference disappear. Not an expert, just asking.

Pads are good, I had ordered the 3090 Strix pads and they had included the updated thickness pads for a part of the kit for free. Can't remember what sections were the wrong thickness in the original set. Better than what it was but only by about 3-4 degrees. Granted I'm not chasing lowest temps possible. Did it pre-emptively as I had purchased the GPU used.

13:56 they accept it because they can charge a diagnostic fee. here is a better question, why would you send your GPU to them in the first place? you see their videos, you know they don't have the equipment for this. why send it? if there is a bad memory module or a broken solder joint on mem or core, they do not have the equipment to do anything about it.

Maybe the pads went into the oblivion

So lets say I wanna make 2mm pads, 1.75mm, what do I do? Cake roller? Rol and re-measure, I don't wanna buy a spaghetti maker to change my pads
