GPU with broken pci-e bridge

[JKOLAKF - U G]

Will a GPU with broken PCIE bridge still work? If not I's this card worth anything as a 3080 to put my 1050 inside it instead or something or? Also will it work if I put a 1050 board in it like just straight up make this it's new cooler LOL

As long as it doesn't cut through any traces on the PCB, it would be fine. It could cause issues with your mobo pci-e connector, but I doubt it.

There is a chance that the graphics card won't work anymore...or it can. All comes down to if those traces were broken and are no longer making a solid connection anymore. 

[SorryBella]

Yep, its a 50/50. I personally would plug and pray on that thing.

What are my chances? Should I even bother? You think it would be good to replace the heatsink to this one on my 1050?

Are you asking about putting a 3080 cooler on a 1050?

Pretty slim imo. This is a RTX 3080 we're talking about? I'm slightly lost in your original post on what you are trying to do. 

 

You want to put a RTX 3080 cooler on a GTX 1050 PCB? That'll never happen as they custom design the cooler to the board the cooler is intended to be used on.

Ok & yes exactly what I want to do. (IF CARD DOES NOT WORK). Price ballooned though lol ..

Yeah...it's not going to work by taking this cooler and placing it on another card that is 100% completely different in design.

 

Looks like fibers of the PCB in that zoomed in shot of the damage.

if anything, just make sure none of the pieces are loose so they aren't stuck in the slot. worth a shot though for the right price imo.

Ok but say I remove the heatsink form my 1050 & put this 3080 one on it lol? & Mod the pcb's for anything else I need form yet video? Or something learn somehow?

It's...not...going...to...work. Good luck trying to mod the PCB for this.

Ok got it won't work with PCB. Then can I just place the heatsink & look of 3080 onto 1050 maybe ziptie or lttstore.com cable management tie it together & work from there?

Well...I can't stop you from buying this broken RTX 3080. If you want to zip tie a 3080 cooler onto a 1050, do so at your own risk. It'll probably burn up the card.

Its not only about being able to physically screw it on, its about the physical layout of the cooler is designed for the physical layout of the PCB.  Its designed so the cooler physically touches the right places to cool those components, and is shaped to avoid other components that would otherwise get shorted out or just not fit at all.

Even if you could, its not the physical cooling that usually limits GPUs, its the power limit in the GPU BIOS.

 

I can overclock my 2080 to almost 2Ghz on a blower cooler, the catch is its noisy as hell.  A better cooler would reduce the noise and temperatures, but not increase the overclock as its already hitting the power limit.

 

The VRMs thermal pads are sweating even on this configuration, pushing it any harder would get negligible real-world performance improvements but absolutely dramatically reduce the life span of the card.  Power limits are put in place for a reason.

You can probably go higher on the core clock, but YMMV based on silicon quality and cooling.

Ty for letting me know!.

Although your power limit is set to 100%, can it not go higher?  When I had a 1070 TI it would let me go to 117% as I recall, my 2080 can go to 125% I think.

 

The manual overclock settings are just a maximum, how close it gets is entirely tied to the power budget so with 100% power limit its probably not getting anywhere near those maximum clock rates.

It does not allow me to go higher on Core voltage is that what you mean?

No, its never advised to touch the voltage unless you REALLY know what you are doing.

 

Under fan where it says power limit, 100% is the stock card limit, it should go higher which is what allows the card to stick closer to your overclocking targets.

All 3 under fan are maxed.
