Founders Edition 1070 Ti Spins fan for a short bit

[lucid sentinel]

Friend of mine gave this to me and claimed that it was working till they opened it up and put it back together.

When I took it apart, there was no visual damage that I could find (I can and will show pictures if needed but I don’t want to open the GPU again atm, it took ages ).

The fan jolts a bit when the system first powers on, but otherwise isn’t registered at all by the systems I’ve plugged the GPU into.

It seems to be dead, but why?
Is there a chance it can be revived, or is it just done for?

Do they spin up when the gpu is put under load? They aren't supposed to spin at idle

[lucid sentinel]

No, the GPU doesn't even show up to be put under any sort of load, as shown by video via the error code the board gave out when trying to boot with it.

[rancid anchor]

Your friend likely shorted it out or knocked a component off the board when they opened it up the first time. Its toast

[lucid sentinel]

Alright

[rancid anchor]

Would be a great shelf piece

Not much else

[lucid sentinel]

Yeah..

Very sad, but thanks!

[rancid anchor]

No problem!

[lucid sentinel]

@rancid anchor Decided to open it up, and forgot that there’s this oil like residue all over the place.
Could it be the issue?

It doesn’t seem to be water damage, but it’s not out of the question.

[lucid sentinel]

I wish I had this working.. qwq
This blower fan sounds awesome.

[rancid anchor]

Possibly, though i doubt it. Try cleaning it up with some isopropyl alcohol

[lucid sentinel]

Alright

[rancid anchor]

Any update?

[lucid sentinel]

Tried cleaning, but it made no visual or performance (as in working at all) difference.
So unless I can somehow get this sent to some high end tech shop, I don't think I myself can do anything with this.
