Gpu repair.

[philipma1957]

I have had multiple people ask me if I know anyone that repairs gpus.



So does anyone repair gpus?


 USA based please.

I'd be interested in finding somone I can ship cards to for repairs.
I'd trade cards for the labor or pay the labor.
This would be a recurring gig , right now I have over 40 2070s that need tlc. A few RTX 6000 cards and a few 30xx cards.

I use to do it...

I might still do it for crypto.

But to be honest... The last time I was messing with it was 6900 series amds cards and they were getting so complicated/tight traces that the typical solution (AKA reflow) wouldn't work.

Throwing them in the oven is about all the work/troubleshooting I want to do now adays.

I do hardware stuff for my day job and don't want to touch a scope after I get off work.

DM me though and we'll see if we can work something out.

Haha I know the feeling. I do taxes and the last thing I want to do after working a 75 hour week is my own taxes, much less my families. But I was one who asked philipma  about it. I have a 1070 card that I cant even get to turn on, but was fine the last time I tried it, probably over a year ago. Not sure how much work it would actually need is the problem.

I have 1 weird 1080ti blower that does 10mh at 70 watts with fans at 20% no matter what rig i use it on.

If reflow doesn't work (which stops working after a while) and it isn't the case you could have a mlcc that's missing for any reason. Otherwise i'm clueless.

Yeah, I'd expect it to be something in the power delivery circuit. A bad cap or regulator. I've successfully replaced various components like regulators and chokes on cards in the past... But its a lot lower success rate than just reflowing an artifacting card.

The problem with modern cards is they're so darn complex. You can take a multimeter and do diode checks or hook various circuits up to an oscilloscope... but its a needle in a hay stack.

Happy to try my hand at most anything though... just want people to have realistic expectations.

I talked to the powers that be on this and I'm ready to act asap. I'll be shipping you a mix of 2070s and 2080 supers. What kind of TAT we looking at? Well send donor cards too
