Burnt 750Ti graphics card

[desvest]

Good morning forum friends. I hope you are well. Today I bring you a new problem, while I wait to be able to put a new graphics card (and that prices go down), my beloved and exhausted Asus GTX750Ti OC, has passed on to a better life. I have acquired a new GTX750Ti (from MSI now) in the meantime, and I have set out to look at what happened with the ASUS. The fault was that the image froze when watching YouTube and there were green lines all over the place. Now that it is gone, I put it under the microscope and found this:

I would like to know if it is easy to get this replacement and what its reference is if possible.
Just in case, I do not understand the subject and I am tinkering

Hello, that is a capacitor. If you don't have the schematic it's difficult to know its value, but they are usually 1 microfarad. With a very fine soldering iron, flux, and tweezers you can replace it. It's not the easiest thing to do, but you don't need an air solder station either.

Many thanks @juezdred. Taking into account your recommendation, I have sent a message to ASUS in case they can provide me with the specifications.

@desvest how tough are the GTX 750TI!! Pretty good that you managed to find the burnt capacitor, if you manage to repair it you will feel great as you will learn one more thing and it can always come in handy if it happens to something of more value

Cheer up and you will tell us how the "operation" goes. Surely in some tech forum they know or comment on the value of that capacitor, or in some hidden place on the internet.

@JuezDred I am glad to read you here

Best regards!!

Good, after the denials at ASUS that said it's an old model and they can't tell me anything (which sounds like nonsense to me) I found this website that I'll leave below with the schematics and the program to open them.
We'll see how everything turns out.

Here you go, I never imagined that information was out there, what a find.
If you identify the component, it's already there, at most you'll have to wait for it from China if you can't get it elsewhere.

I tell everyone, finally someone changed that capacitor for me (since I had a soldering station) and for 10 bucks, voilá... it came back to life. Now, I've taken the opportunity to run benchmarks and HWiNFO, and both cards are similar in performance. The old burned one is an ASUS 750Ti OC with 2GB and the new one is a normal MSI 750Ti. What surprises me is that the ASUS asks for a 6-pin extra connector and the MSI doesn't have an extra power connector. I've looked for more benchmarks and comparisons and now I don't know which one to leave in the meantime.

@desvest
Well, in your case, out of "curiosity", I would leave the GPU "resurrected" to see how long it lasts.
I think you said something about thinking of getting something more current.
And it would be more honest to sell the one that wasn't repaired.
In any case, I would be left wondering why it burned out.
Best regards

@desvest I had two GTX 750 TI and I found myself in a similar situation. The first one is a Palit, I loved how small and compact it was and the good performance it gave in its time, I'm talking about 2014 when they came out although it served very well for playing in 720p for quite some time. Another feature I liked is that it didn't have a 6-pin power connector, which helped a lot in using it in modest systems and saved you one more cable to mount.

The thing is that about 3 years ago, I was given a "new" Gigabyte because in the PC where they used it, it was just taking up space, since they used the Intel integrated xD They even thought it was K.O. and no, it worked... and it still works perfectly. Well, this one did have the 6-pin connector and I was left like you.

What I've thought is that in some models they came with OC as standard and it raised a little more than the consumption that this graphics has, which is 60W (recommending power supplies of at least 250W), so they approach the maximum that the PCIe bus can give which, if I remember correctly, is 75W. I suppose they don't want to risk problems of instability and having to process many RMA, so they add a little more "extra" energy.

For 10 € it's worth having it repaired, it's a great warrior that little one, it runs just as well as some GT1030 jajaja

Regards!!
