Hi guys,

 

A friend of mine's 660 Ti (Asus) got dripped on by a H100i and may be dying/dead.

He had it develop graphic issues and eventually shut down the computer while gaming before he realized that gunky water/coolant has dripped onto the card.

 

I have done my best to clean off the gunk with isopropyl alcohol after disassembling the card (see pic for current status).

It seems to be clear now, but it's still not working (has graphics issues, see the pic)

 

Any advise before I just shelf the card???

 

Cheers.

UPDATE:
Baked card at 200 celcius for 7 minutes, card is working now by the looks of things (YAY)

Pics of the baking and card operating in games.

I hope someone would provide further details if the oven would actually help.

PS I've never soldered anything, so that could be troublesome.

Doesn't corsair provide some kind of replacement program when things like this happen? They're suppose to replace the cooler and affected components, you might wanna look into it

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

See, now I can't take that seriously......normally, yes, demonic, no.

 

Now that I've seen Linus' video, it might be worth a try.

Please man

Should of read the spoiler, I said "for real, I don't know how to fix your problem"

  • 2 weeks later...

UPDATE:

I cooked the graphics card for 7min at 200 Celsius and it is now operational without any hickups yet (still a little more testing to do)

 

Pics included of the baking process, and the computer runing games :) in my first post
