    I did turn on the PC, The GPU fans spun a bit, then stopped. There is white LED above 8 pin connector which is working and the heatsink also gets hot BUT there is no video output on the monitor. In conclusion, dead GPU.

    If someone has access to Asus Strix GTX 970 pinout diagram then pls share it with me. I might be able to fix the issue.

    I've thoroughly cleaned up the GPU and wiped off any obvious corrosion residue from the board. I'll put my GPU on an old discarded pc of mine which still works. I've checked my test pc, it boots into windows and works fine. It's an Intel i5 4440 and has a single 8gb ddr3 ram stick with 550w psu. Let's just hope my pc boots up to windows with GPU intact.

    It doesn't have any warranty and it's already dead so I might just give it a try. Also I was hoping to get a display output from it. I don't game on it anymore.

    In 2017, a rat entered my gaming pc and it pissed on the graphics card. When I turned on my pc, it fried my poor Asus Strix GTX 970 GPU. Today i decided to take a look it and saw burnt pci-e contact pins. There is no actual damage to the vram, capacitors or GPU die itself. But the contact pins are burnt and something probably decomposed on the card. So, these are my questions- Q.1 Is there any possible way to restore my graphics card? Q.2 Should I clean it up with isopropyl alcohol and try turning it on? Q.3 Will it damage my pc?

    Thanks for the help. Looks like I will have to upgrade my case too before installing any RTX 4090 GPU.

    I'm a 3D artist and I want to get a new RTX 4090. My PC case is a micro ATX Silverstone Fara H1M. I was wondering which RTX 4090 will fit in my micro ATX case.

    I was updating bios for installing Windows 11 and now that motherboard is bricked. It was a Gigabyte DS3H B450M around $60 in 2018. I will get a new B550M board for 5900X due to micro-ATX form factor limitations.
  10. keshavcolonel
    Vrm temps spikes upto 105 degrees on my gigabyte b450m motherboard. Is it normal? I've seen sudden throttle in my ryzen 9 5900x while gaming.

    I've heard rumours that both intel and amd are planning to drop their support for DDR4 in favour of DDR5. So probably many 600 series Intel boards might be unusable for 13 gen CPUs. It is a rumour, nothing confirmed.
  12. keshavcolonel
    Go for Intel I5 12th gen and a new b660 motherboard. There's a disadvantage of Intel, i.e. everytime you get a new cpu, you have to get a new mobo with it.
  13. keshavcolonel
    If you want to go with current gen Ryzen CPU then a decent B550 motherboard with wifi costs around 100-150 USD and you should go with a Ryzen 5 5600g if your old GTX 1060 ever fails on you then you could use the integrated graphics as a backup. If you are considering Intel 12th gen then go with a Intel core i5 12400 and a decent B660 board. Intel offers better performance than ryzen counterparts.
  14. keshavcolonel
    Current gen Ryzen CPUs and AM4 platform are at end of life. I would suggest if you want to get into newer platform then 12 gen Intel will suit your requirements. If you are already rocking an AM4 motherboard then you might be able to upgrade to a better Ryzen CPU. But if are building a new pc (new mobo, new CPU) then 12 gen Intel is way to go or else you could wait for the next lineup of AMD CPUs and motherboards.

    Run benchmark software such as cinebench, pcmark, furmark etc. for atleast 30 minutes to see which component fails on you. Make sure your power supply is good for running Ryzen 7 and a 3080. If your pc is booting into windows, then it's doing fine. Freezing could be caused by unstable oc, inadequate power supply or temperature etc. Worst case scenario, faulty components.
