At work just noticed some of the little resistors(?) On a 3090 were not only wonky, but making contact with each other. It tested fine, its second hand, will this effect anything

  1. i would reseat them to order … that is wonky as shit and probably bad self repair or so… if it came out of factory like that then it went by at every inspection…

  2. They’re fine. You can see the four edge ones in each block of ten share pads.

    It’s not broken, don’t try to fix it.

    Well that’s a lot of cars driving in your city

    No, but the QC guy at the manufacturer should get a lump of coal in his stocking come Christmas.

    Looks like someone took a heatgun or the oven to fix a faulty card. This is not normal.

    It’s perfectly fine and intended to be this way.

    Everywhere there is a crooked cap you can see a big pad joining 4 caps together. Capacitance adds up in parallel, so instead of using a single bigger cap, 4 smaller caps are used here.

  7. It’s horrible but technically fine. Bad qc and work but yeah . Those are capacitors by the way

    What brand of card is that? This type of tolerances drops this board to an IPC class 1 device. I would hope that electronics manufactures would at a minimum conform to IPC class 2 specifications for a higher end video card. Not that this device will not work as it is but there is a higher possibility of failure. You can google IPC Class Definitions for how and why you would care about this type of thing.

  9. That’s normal, the way they are soldered the components align themself because of the capilarity with the liquid solder.
    So if it’s tiny pads made for one component it get perfectly aligned but if it’s a larger pad for multiple ones it’s possible the solder spread more and they can drift a bit, but it’s not an issue.

    You know, it’s funny, robots verify visually and electrically that the circuits are OK. Then the cards work. Then people are like “that shit looks like it shouldn’t work”

    I do this too, I think it’s everyone at one point or another.

    Did you stress test it or just use it to game on? If it does the stress test fine I wouldn’t worry.

    Looks like shit, but working.

    If any one of these were to cause an issue, it would be bottom left.

    Seems like it is sitting a few mm away from where it was soldered.

    Yes, it is. The NVidia demons will come to your room tonight and beat you to death

    For a minute there I thought It said “KILL HIM” three times does anyone else see it or am I just stupid

  15. Is say bad qc this looks horrible ocd might crack

    Can’t imagine getting out of that parking zone…
