BTW i have this somewhat cheap YIHUA-898D soldering station (~50 usd) and the cheapest lead solder.

240 C is not hot enough for lead-free solder. I had to go high around 360C and preheater under the board. For lead solder, 300-340 is perfect, still preheater. Cheers, I have 185C melting point lead solder paste (i use 230C for soldering). And i use 260-270c to remove the stock non lead solder. …

Hot air at 215°C will usually not be enough to melt the solder before damaging the chips. You probably only cooked the flux. I'm also afraid those pictures are too low res to see anything. I always start lower temp when i reflow, but i realy dont know what temp to use for this old card. The new …

i reflowed all the smd parts and rams with flux and 215c hot air solder station, it was very dirty (it is from trash, i think the card was in the rain) i made a litle progress, now with the adapters i can enter the bios in the skylake pc but the card still only works with adapters and not getting …

It is a 20+y old card so any part can faulty on it. The adapters: 1x to 16x riser from a …

All broken off and damaged smd-s are replaced via professional service. But it is worse now. I dont get any screen on my older pc-s (P2, P3 systems). After a few seconds it is turning off. I tried different motherboards (440Lx P2 266, 440Bx P2 450, 815 P3 1,4), different power supply (Evga 600w, Fsp …

Thanks! I repair it and test it.

i have found this card in trash. There is some minor screen artifacts (RGB colored small lines), but in high resoluion it is perfect (1280x1024). I think it is because 3 smd capacitors broken off near vrams. Is this card a 3000 or 3500? Or bios modded? Runs at 183mhz , vram is real 5ns 200mhz? (5T …

I have an Asus Radeon 9600XT. It has Hynix 2.2ns memory on it but not overclocks well. (hynix HY5DV283222A) 2.2ns memory is 900mhz effetice clock speed (600mhz on default). But the card is only sable at 700mhz. So it is possible the timings are tight. I tried atitool and played a little with the ram …

What kind of video ram is on it (see picture)? Is it rare? It is a Trident TVGA9000C, i have a few Trident cards but this has this metal cased video ram. Thanks!

The heatpipe orientation does not matter. https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/tes … thermals.15858/ Heatsink is also hotter? If not and only the temps rising that means the heatsink is not mounted tight enough and there is a gap.
