Got this beautiful card today. Unfortunately, it's got memory issues. Going to start by checking resistors on the back of the card. I hope the core is not gone 🙁

Looks like a bad memory IC or possibly it needs the memory ICs reflowed, the heat sinks complicate it a bit.

Those heatsinks look like a nightmare to remove 😗 Will try the twist method first.

Still testing resistors. Best case scenario, bank 0 has lost power (not sure where to check voltages). Or something has gone wrong with the core.
