I have a small freezer in my garage that when dealing with a hot board, I just put in, and make a "QUICK" coffee, then come back and then look at it with thermal cam. Works really well!

I said it to myself while watching this video. Wait till the board cools down, then measure for a short. You taught me this Alex and thank you for your awesome videos. ❤

[ahmedsalem]

Thanks for your videos they are very good and educational, about burning your mat, there is silicon mats that can take 450C or 550C heat without burning

[budp.]

Excellent !! You're style of approach is very commanding. Could listen to you all day !! thanks for teaching and you generous willingness to share your knowledge

RIP EVGA, you will be missed in the GPU space.

Seems like you always do solid work. A couple of super tiny resistors or something fell off my ps3 board today while removing an ihs i should have left alone. They are way too small for my skills and equipment so i will be calling you shortly. Ive seen alot of repair shop videos on youtube but most are dirty, unprofessional or the repairs just look like plain trash. Obviously not the case here i just hope i get this guy on my board and not someone less talented.

Great channel, soooo much to learn, I have been out of electronics for 30 years but I really enjoy this channel. Tell us more about you please, you accent is fascinating to me, I am from South Africa.

in case anyone is lost, Alex refers to commenters who correct terminology or correct anything, as SCIENTISTS!! so when he's referring to the scientists who corrected his use of MosFet vs Mos, its not a Star Wars character, its a commentor whom he calls a scientist trying to correct Alex, someone who has probably forgotten more about this stuff than the scientist ever knew.

I love Alex, Always says something funny. Say hi to the bag guy lmao and the card wanna play games 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[chipinnc]

Maybe the blown fuse is related to the third coil not showing a problem? Couldn't replacing it be better to do now since it might show a short on that last coil again?

[debojotynayek]

[ladislavsieber]

Who broke the connector? Godzilla 😆😆😆 that is comedy gold 🤣🤣🤣 I was dying laughing 😂

This a great video. I have a Asus 3080 with basically the same issue. When the card is installed in the computer and turned on, the various LEDs in the system will flash, the fans turn on momentarily, then everything shuts down because the power supply shuts down to protect itself. I measured shorts on two of the 12V pins in one of the PCIe power sockets. Now I know where to start looking for the fault. Thank you.
One question: where did you inject the test voltage, at the PCIe power socket?

[michaelblack]

they not short to ground, a going directly to GPU, maybe no fix if 12 v was going in GPU by chip NCP 302 150 (that why need put zener diode to protect the GPU from high voltage)

[roadkillraker]

yes, semantics should be mentioned but not prioritized.
