Did i just broke my gpu?

[drkknghtavngr]

My Gtx 1060 OC used to be stable even after +100mhz core and +200mhz mem but not anymore. Im afraid I broke it after accidentaly scraping one capacitor (not sure if its a capacitor but ecer since that incident, my gpu no longer stable with oc... Heres the "capacitor" im talking about:

Thats a resistor, designated by the R767 marking.

 

I'd try it without the riser cable first. Those ebay riser cables can be the source of many issues...

Find another similar GPU in the trash and transfer a resistor from the same area of that board to your damaged card.

 

SMD resistors and caps can be removed/installed with a regular pen type iron if you are good enough at soldering.

It was stable with the riser for 2 months but i will still try without the riser

Last time i checked the resistor is still there but i scraped most of the solder. I havent checked again whether its still hanging in there Btw i only tried soldering once, is it gonna be hard to resolder that resistor?

If you cracked it, you wont be able to re-solder it.  Its best to have some ceramic tipped tweezers if you are going to attempt to solder those things.

 

With patience, you should be able to get it done.

What if I dont resolder it? It runs fine on stock. Whats the worst thing that can happen in the long run?

Tried it without the riser, and its still crashing when overclocked

What if I send it to a repair shop who dont have knowledge about computer stuff, do you think they can still fix it?

I forgot to mention that I turned off p2 state in Nvidiaprofileinspector (i did this around the time I scraped the resistor) as some said it will increase hashrate when mining, mine didnt really increase and now Ive turned p2 state back on amd so far the overclcocks are stable again
