What MINING does to Graphics Cards

BTC Mining is a scourge in the PC market. I wish people would stop contributing to a massive problem... Overinflation of GPU prices.

Dealer for 26 years in IT gear. interesting comment o EVGA, I have been buying MSI and Gigabyte, but I will certainly consider EVGA now based on your comments. Well done.

damn I didn't know tlauncher was that bad

good thing I'm not a minor anymore

This guy is the lord of gpus

Just mad respect for your knowledge. Impressive.. I have no doubt that I won't achieve that 😂

He Just understands the topography and more important the tunnels that the angry pixies use to get around through the board and components.
Just like a city transport network, he knows where the subways are so can just drill through the road (board) to get to the problem when and where trains (angry pixies) will not go through. Then just builds a new road over top or around the hole if needed for the pixies travelling the roads (board top/components)
One can clearly see he knows every trace, even though i do not 👍

What does mining do to a graphics card?

Thatbwas great. i wish we have here in thw Philippiness some like you sir. 😅.. i have a lot o GPI need to be diagnosed.

Excellent

People mined with 1070s?

Mining is gay

You're a genius man

why did the gpu work even with missing capacitors, you replaced 4 with 2 or am i confused? thanks!

Mining only does this if you're large scale and never clean your GPUs, and you run them at factory speeds. Which wastes electricity and shortens the life of cards.

This is exactly why i was so skeptical of those who flexed just buy a used gpu. 😢

many miners will undervolt cards to stop or at least slow this process down, mining just rinses it 24/7 gaming will do the same if you games 24/7 assuming you are at 100% utilization.

If you are resonable with the temp and you clean your cards and replace termo pads and yadayadayada you can prevent most of this.

great video

Wow thats amazing do you work on motherboard’s

this has been very educational. thank you very much.

Stumbled upon your channel yesterday. All I have to say is holy shit! You are a surgeon my man. Keep using your gift! This man is the guy you find in RPG games that sells you black market tech underground and repairs your tech for you 😂 Fantastic job 👏🏼👏🏼

Video sucks you didn't explain anything you just did your job on camera lol

you are magician

Super

i neare u in the usa are u in the usa or do u have a plass i can sand my card in the usa to have it worked on

respect 👏

dude you got skills

Digging into the PCB was insane! Wow

I think with wires more caps can be set around the filled crater. Just to keep from one cap doing too much if it shorts. Not sure how to put drivers and such back over the crater so full function and no heat is driven. Good work feller the crater did not kill a good card. Darn miners. It is totally counter productive. Not fit as a normal pursuit mining for useless fake dollars. People. Jeesh.

When I have a short and thermal is not seeing exactly where, I connect my ohmmeter and start desoldering, every component I take off I peek at the ohmmeter and decide if I found it or not, saves a bunch of time. Thanks for sharing.

I burned out my $5000 Titan RTX mining ETH.

I just have to ask, are you repairing this card simply to have some interesting content for a video? The cost of this kind of extensive repair, appears to be more than how much a 1070 is actually worth. Unless you work really cheaply, I just can't see the justification for such an extensive repair on a card that's worth at best about $100. Certainly it must be a local card, because including any shipping costs, just makes the repair even more questionable. I mean, I enjoyed the video and find your repairs fascinating, but the whole time I'm watching you literally rebuild this card, I'm wondering how the cost is worth it, on such an old GPU?

I swear I was already subscribed... Either way, resubbed, frigging YT....

Nvidia said otherwise lol

This is why you never buy used anything because the last one to own it will never treat items the way you would.

what mining the wrong way dose you can mine safe if you store the cards correctly overclock correctly and maintain your cards

Kinda clickbait title... gaming could have caused just the same damage with the same defective component(s)
Good airflow is always rule #1

I had ADHD/enxiety/depression/heart attacks when he was drilling the GPU

Think I saw that was a 1070? The effort you put in to it would probably cost a person more than just buying a completely new one!

I understand this is a educational video, but damn I'd just get a new one at that point. XD

Damn you are good

Bro doing Gods work

Its not mining its lack of concern for working conditions

I have been watching several different channels like this one because I am really interested in picking this up, at least as a hobby or side gig because it is fascinating to me but the more I watch to learn more, the more I realize there is A LOT to learn. I am still confused how he could drill into the board to fix the issue because I thought the boards were just use the solder the components on to them and the connections were all on the surface. I never realized it had layers. A bit overwhelming info because he is showing the process very briefly and at high speed but still very exciting stuff. I may not be grasping everything he is showing but it is definitely very motivational, nevertheless!

You are one smart man.

Roughly how much does something like that cost to repair?

MAGIC! 😱❤👍👍👍 Someone who actually REPAIRS, not just REPLACES...

Great work man! Good to see that there are still skilled experts out there who embrace a challenge.

the good stuff I enjoy your information thanks for sharing
