This card is 100% FUBAR, if the crack is deeper than the surface.
Board level repair won’t touch it, since the work fixing it will be greater than the cost of the card. They’ll buy it for spare parts.
What card?

Affectionate_Lie_572
Short Story: I bought a new asrock phantom 7900 xtx which came as in the picture. Any chance that it works ? If so, on long term how are the chances ?
I fear also damaging the pci slot of the motherboard when inserting it. Should i worry about it ? If it will damage, i do not want to sacrifice my motherboard by trying.
​
Long story: I bought the card and with the seller company i could not find a solution, tried many other things beside it. The only option left will be to sue the company which will cost me also and dont want to go that way if the graphics card function so.

You bought this new and they won’t RMA? That seems crazy
If what you say is true and it arrived like that, send it back *IMMEDIATELY*.
mythymehascome
Well to give you a real answer, maybe the gpu will only run in x8, depends.
If the trace isnt fully destroyed, i probably doesnt matter at all.
If it arrived like this, send it back.

Ngl that’s pretty GA3 Y00

you can use soldering iron and solder the pins to connect to line but if the scratch is deep on the black part yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee your fked up m8
now how did this even happened

Yes

…That looks like a blade cut it… Did you use an exacto knife to open the anti-static bag?

I’m waiting for the day we will get a new standard on GPU PCI connectors.

We’ll if you’re in the US and the seller is giving you the hand then hopefully you bought with a credit card and can call your cc company and tell them the product did not arrive as advertised. Badda bing refund

Yea you can definitely see where the pcie terminal things would be shorting out

Depending on how deep the cut is, the traces can be fixed and very carefully the pcie slot fingers too. Doing so would be a last resort tho, if this really came this way new then see if they can RMA it.

If its a cut the card would likely be fine IF you could unfuck the severed traces. Might be able to do with conductive copper foil tape if you’re brave. Good luck!

even if you fix it or if it still miraculously works the resale value wil drop massively if you ever want to upgrade, rma it.
mr_ld341
They will not rma this 100%
Now is this crack or scratch?
If scratch possible fixable or may even work as is.
If cracked you done, repair will be 2x time price of card and no many repair shops will even try, multilayer pcb repairs are nightmare.
Did you try to power it on? At this point may as well try.
You aren’t going to kill your pc components. All
Modern motherboard automatically will ignore pci slot when there is short on a connection and will boot without card or don’t even boot.
Another possible solution, assuming that this is a scratch and will not boot – get pci-e x8 to x16 adapter. And plugin card in x8
This will limit card performance a bit but may work.

You sure you didn’t slice that while opening the packaging?

That’s a nasty gouge. Looks like pads on the connector are cut through, possibly traces on the board also. I’d return it if possible. If you can’t return it, maybe clean it up & check continuity for the affected lines with a meter. If you’re lucky, only the pads on the connector would need repair.

That is busted connectors and busted traces. This needs the whole circuit board replaced. Return it.
