Editing pascal is near impossible, just like flashing it EDIT: Yes, that is the G1 PCB

No, it isn't there. The VRM is also a bit weird, some of it is hooked up to the 6pin, while the others are PCI powered.

Straight to the poin: I got a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050TI G1 GAMING, and I wasn't happy with the GPU BOOST clocks. I opened the card to short the shunt(s) with liquid metal, but didn't find any. Is it possible that the card has a different way of measuring the power draw?

I always needed a real paperweight, this might do.

Found the issue! There are 12 capacitors MISSING from the back of the GPU. I got the card from a friend who kicked his PC a few times when he got mad at CS:GO. Could I just short the soldet pads, or leave it as it is?

I can't do much with the igpu. Replacing this card isn't something I want to spend money on. RX 460 will most likely be covered under warranty, since they can't prove that the BIOS was modified. You said the PSU could be killing the cards. I replaced it, but before that, I measured its voltage output, here's what I found: 12V - 12.6V 5V - 5.56V The replacement PSU: 12V - 12.21V 5V - 5.3V

Artifacting in the UEFI only happens with the 896MB BIOS, original has no issues there. I might measure the voltage of every memory chip, maybe that could help to figure it out. Do you know of any good BIOS modding tool? The one I use can't really do much.

Yes, VRM is most likely dead. Resistance between the legs of the capacitor is 0.2ohm instead of 1.6. Loud pop, followed by the magic smoke.

Fresh install of Windows 10 on my 2nd drive, AMD drivers were never installed there.

Yes, Windows 10. I had the same issue in the past with XP, Vista and 7

I already did that. GPU-Z says the GPU sits around 40 without driver.

I have an old GAINWARD GeForce GTX 260GS (1792MB). I had an RX 460 installed in my system, but since that died, I'm forced to use the iGPU. I figured, I should try to fix the 260. I installed it, the system booted perfectly fine. Time to instsall the driver. In the middle of the driver setup, the screen turned black, and never recovered. I rebooted the computer. When it got to the drivers, the screen turned black again. About 6-7 minuter later, it displayed an artifacted image - a BSoD, with the error message "DPC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT" I switched back to the iGPU, and looked at the dump file. It points to nvlddmkm.sys. I figured it had something to do with the VRAM, so I downloaded the BIOS of the same card with less VRAM (896MB). I flashed the BIOS, and the computer booted into windows, but with an even more artifacted image. UEFI also had major artifacts, which never happened with the original BIOS. I also measured the voltage with a multimeter. VCORE: 1.127V. VRAM: 1.8V Could it be a faulty VRAM chip, or a damaged memory controller? I didn't measure the voltage of every single memory chip, just one.

Afterburner can't monitor CPU voltages

Well, I have discord, but no mic. Text chat could be better that this, tho.

It isn't horrible, but the picture you posted was not under load. Stress the CPU with AIDA64, and check the voltage during that.
