The two VRAM chips that are most likely faulty are C0 and D1, because they were close to the damaged area. The remaining low error counts are probably just signal interference, meaning “error ghosting.” I think there is still a good chance the card can be repaired.

Good to know. I will see if there's a way to keep it visible with any cpu, although I do not know if not XM sandy bridge have turbo bin OC support like ivy bridge. The uploaded bios works up to Pascal on R3. My next version has Turing working too in eDP & SG. Still haven't figured out RTX 4090 in PEG. Also want to try and get 16GB DIMMs working too before releasing the next version. Other last change will be bios option per sata port to choose either sata3 or sata2 speed.

Tô fix High voltage spikes Power lower ACDC, also i water cooled my psu 330w psu for NOW, and about those Power Full fans, are they more noisy? Are they much more Power Full?? Spin faster? Or Just like -5c?

High Sorry for late reply, My phone got stolen, But yes Just lowered AC load LINE tô 130 and dc loadline too Its in custom vr settings, Ive managed tô 4.9ghz ALL cores até 1.24 override,with these settings however i do thermal trottled or Get constant 88-89c só im waiting for my cicichen custom water cooler now(also thanks for the tip about him and How much It Takes for It to arrive to you?) I plan in getting a 780w Power supply cus my GPU IS shunt modded, THANKS to you And other people here i could confidently shunt mod It, Right NOW im at 0.960v 4.0ghz ALL cores and 3.9ghz ring Also This cicichen IS such a sweetheart he even purchased a m6 quick release and Will slgive It to me for free tô use in the watercooler

Yes and no, those Newer laptops are thermal trottled, also you can shunt mod those gpus tô 180w, my shunt modded 2070 IS desktop LEVEL performance,and when i Get a 3080 Will be as good as its desktop counterpart, for the CPU...true But Just slap a Q1j1 oc tô 5ghz and a watercooler

I do see higher TDP draw on the GPU in performance mode. It goes up to 170W at QHD and max graphics. I am surprised there have been more show up on ebay. Not that I would have been happy with the ebay route as extending the warranty was far easier by having a B&H Photo "official reseller" receipt that MSI was willing to work with. I have not looked close enough at WoW Forever but it really depends on if we can get in a good community and its content is actually more fun than retail. I was actually more excited about WotLK remix coming next year. My IRL friend did purchase the pre-pack though so I will probably at least try Forever once the initial out the gate rush subsides.

on precision 7670 i9-12950hx 3080ti my 3d mark time spy result is 11 390 my cinebench r23 multi is 14 990 after repasting with ptm 7960 and cleaning ffans isn't that a pretty bad result?

You are in our thoughts and prayers, brother. Glad things are moving in the right direction again. I hope the rest of the family is well.

Very interesting! I have same card with identical issue, and was wondering if you can explain a little bit further on how to test and find the issue. Thank you in advance!

Yes. It's an ASRock Z370. With a fixed voltage. I have no idea how can I set a fixed offset in clevo... I can only undervolt to -82mV. Will the AliExpress powerful P775 fan help my temps?

If I were to try to do this myself, what are the differences between the revisions? Currently the only local one is Rev A for me, and also kinda pricy so I'm wanting to keep a lookout. Maybe only buy after AI bubble pop idk. I'm wanting to do something maybe stupid. I'd like to get the HP ZBook 17 G6 for the 8c16t CPU over the 6c12t 17 G5, but get a P5200 for it because the RTX 5000 is near unobtainium, and the difference in performance is not that great in the types of games I want to play. I've also heard Pascal cards play better with older games than the later gens, and idk if it was because my 2080 Ti was dying, but after it died and I had to put a 1080 in my desktop, it's been a better experience overall aside from worse perf. So I would prefer a Pascal card over the Turing card. (I lean a bit more towards yolo and just getting one because I could just put it in my 8770W worst case, and just use the DP out and whatever as a desktop replacement, but I'd rather have it in the new laptop.) Both are MXM, so how different are they? Could I fit a P5200 in a 17 G6?

I still couldn't find the correct sound driver since Acer removed them.

Hello, That is an excellent result! I assume -3 is the offset for AVX. Z370 is the one which your clevo has or the result is from a PC? If the result is from a PC I think it is important how much was the power combsution and what temp?

So long time ago. Now I set it to fixed and full dGPU power off dynamic scheme. And it works. But not at full power. I have installed a 765m and in superposition it powered up only to 405Mhz. In the past I had also sometimes the same problems. Most of the time it was a driver issue. After installing all drivers it works. Now I have installed them all expect the Realtek Card driver. It gave me an error Any ideas why it powers only to 405Mhz?

I'm asking in case anyone knows the answer: should I replace VRAM C0 and D1 , or is there something else I should check?

The 1.8V VRAM supply rail had a problem because the PCB layers made contact with each other, which caused a short circuit. As a result, the two VRAM chips closest to the crack were damaged.

And now the short has been removed and the PCB crack has been repaired. Display data appeared on the screen, and I ran a MATS test to find out which VRAM chip is faulty and causing the artifacts on the screen.

No my friend, this is another graphics card with a different fault. It has damage to the PCB caused by a heatsink screw: a screw of the wrong length was installed on the arm of the modded adapter, which superficially penetrated the PCB and caused a short, permanently cutting off the display data.

The 5090 pricing is really crazy right now for sure. I have not been tempted to sale my 5090 Astral, but my brother sure has been pestering me about selling it lol. Amazing GPU! I like it so much better than my FE, and I really liked my FE. But I think most of the likeness for the FE came from the low price and ability to actually get one fairly quickly after launch. I have decided to keep the 9950X3D2 that runs the 2,200fclk. The IMC has no issues stabilizing tuned 6400c26 with a mere 1.500v VDD, and 1.400v vddq. Using the new to me G.Skill 6000c26 sticks, and reducing VDDP voltage to 1.050v, has made its IMC feel just as strong as the other one. And now I actually got its tPHYRDL’s matching on both ram channels with both at 35, which is great! I noticed on AMD that they are sensitive to waterblock mounting pressure. And maybe this last mount last night swapping back to the 2,200fclk chip, must have gotten something perfect. I swapped between these two chips and unknown amount of times. I think I ran each one at least (3) times. This one also boosts higher in games. No PBO+ or anything like that is enabled. It’s running higher clocks on average by about 70-100Mhz. The AMD CCD0 and CCD1 in Windows is also quite good! I see my games typically use CCD0, while windows services are targeting the slower CCD1. It’s pretty amazing to see this work so well. For now I am hanging on to that 5090 Astral.

Thanks for asking bro🙂 More like status quo. But something good has it been the last week... I got my driving license back after 4 months . But only for two years due the risk for new strokes. Then I need to pay yet another $150 USD for a new prolonged period of two years. This if I once again can manage all the tests to keep the driving license. Some part of the brain is gone, thats the reality of getting stroke. You can compensate with other parts of the brain when some parts fall out. But within some limits. It's what it is. I try as best I can everyday. Not bad but it could be much better. But who know how it goes. The risk for new stroke is still high within the next 5 years😑 RTX 5080 with two old 8-pin connectors instead of 12V-2×6: Ronaldo's experiment or how much connector drama could NVIDIA have avoided? Former EVGA manager says NVIDIA pricing rules forced some GeForce cards to be sold at a loss Yup, the well known yellow-tip disaster strikes again...

i would change probably only c0 and d1 as before u got error on a1 and b0 while not now. remember that samsung chip have like 13 omh reading... where do you have the short ? on the coil or on vram nearby caps ? shorted rail should give no display or also no power at all.. i see u are able to post: are u using a second vga ?

Thats good to hear your test proved a pass, so it seems to align the card is good. Definitely review your cooling solution as this may have been a bit tooo close a call to failure. Happy to measure my 8770W "half plate" GPU sink if you need heights verified. That will work for a 980M but not anything newer, if i recall @KbX has a 1070M in his (but suffers display output options) not sure if hes evolved his heatsink since. Can anyone advise if the 1080M has been tried, not sure why we stopped at 1070m as i saw one which didnt have the PSU plug so it must be downclocked to run via MXM slot.

I bought a 980m from Aliexpress about 2017ish...lasted until 2020 then suddenly died. Apparently the VRM's are underpowered on these models. I really should look at repairing it but I don't use my Ranger much at all Aliexpress listing will say if it has vbios for Alienware! I skipped the 1060 and tried an MSI 1070m...requires cutting your chassis a bit.

Yeah, it does. If a person had the soldering skills and DDR5 BGA template, that would be a cheap way of "making" RAM as long as they didn't need 8000+ MT/S speeds. Congratulations, brother. I am glad that your dedication to excellence, faithfulness and hard work is finally being recognized. I'm glad you are being facetious, otherwise I would be concerned.

thats the kind of stuff that reminds of the good ol' NBR days 🙂 very nice! no justifications necessary, JUST DO IT! 😄 at 6000+ bucks its a steal and totally worth it hahaha
