Please Help. dead GPU?

[doomsriker]

I picked up this gtx 780 as is so I did this to my self. It is still not outputting a display on a known good power supply with the 6 and 8 pin securely pushed in and it is pushed securely into the pcie slot. I cleaned the card, replaced the thermal paste, and flashed the bios, and still no luck. Anything I can do before I buy a used toaster oven to throw the PCB in? Thanks.

if you put it in a system with another Display out, is the 780 card still recognised? If it is then it would signal a display out problem, not a total GPU failure.

 

Cheers.

I haven't got a lot of knowledge on PCB repairs, but here in the UK I know a guy who does real old school board repair with things like this. Getting a specialist to look at it may actually be a waste of money depending on the pricing of the service itself.

Yea, it's really just a pet project so the only money i'm willing to put into it is the 10$ for a used toaster oven. I only have 20$ in the card.

I love the ACX coolers, probably worth $10 itself ahahaha

Yea, if the bake does not work (if it comes to that) I will probably put it up on ebay with full disclosure of what I did for like 40$ plus shipping. I figure someone might need it for parts or they might have better instruments for repair. I mean this thing is basically a 1060 3gb with a little worse driver optimization at the end of the day.
