Nada on new CPU, put PC3 CPU in to PC2 and PC2 CPU into PC3. No boot on PC2 still, good boot on PC3. Tried all sorts of DIMM configs on PC2. I really think somehow I bricked 2 MOBOs that were working on their dying breathes. But what would the odds of that really be? Now that PC3 fired up, I...

I think they were both on older BIOS, I didnt get a chance to run the Dell BIOS exe, but should have. Whats the safest new BIOS that doesnt interfere with ThrottleStop? I also am not sure how I can update the BIOS at this point, even with the flash drive option, I cant access BIOS menu or one...

Im thinking Ive got the touch of death, or Im missing something painfully obvious. 2 of my 3 T3610 w/ 1650 v2 wont get into BIOS. Ill press F2 and after the Dell logo screen, Im left with a blinking _ in the top left corner. Ive tried different cards in different slots, CMOS battery out to...

Thanks for the leads. I think Eli has moved on to other projects, I will reach out to buildzoid and zettabit. I also came across this gent here: At around 10:30 he starts measurements with a multimeter and has a method that appears to diag a bad module by pulling off an inductor and uses a...

I got as far as the power stages on the Dell card, the mosfets pins were almost under the chip so I had to order some thin angled probes to get readings. They should be in this week to resume getting readings across the PCB. Youre correct though, there is far too much on the table to isolate...

I will get the pictures shortly. ********* I was trying to PM you on this exact topic of BIOS editing. I have my answer now but here were my thoughts. "To create a scenario, on scam cards from various websites, there are cards flashed with BIOS that report incorrect GDDR amounts, typically to...

Freezing them would be an interesting approach. I have a Kraken G12 bracket that would allow access to the GDDR6 modules while the unit is live on the bench. I could use that method to determine which module(s) are drawing heat more rapidly, and if it is a significant difference perhaps those...

They were both purchased as parts for an educational purpose. The Dell has bent fins on the blower heat sink, I don’t see an RMA possibility. The ASUS will be going in for RMA. I will try bios for the Dell to see what comes of it. If that doesn’t solve it, how would one go about determining the...

I have 2 faulty 2080 tis on a known good bench. Dell card boots 100% into artifact mode. Error 43 from win10. Installs drivers okay. GPUZ shows 0 mb GDDR6 but sensors in GPUZ show ~2500 MB in use. Nothing recognized in MSI Afterburner. No significant sensor data in HWinfo. Rog Strix OC on cold...
