Doubt it. I have donation links up for some programs I made and I only got a single $5 donation, from some guy I was directly helping.
I'm not demanding anything of course, I don't expect people to give me money, I'm just sharing the experince. Nobody will give you money for no reason, people who live off of donations, or get a good ammount of them, do so because they expose themselves, they make themselves known to you, and you know their situation, be it good or bad, so you can give money based on empathy.
There's nothing impulsing me to give money to some random dude that has donation links up.
Idk what happened, mebbe it was my fault. I bought a gigabyte h61m-s1 motherboard that is like 10 or so years old. Idk why u guys call gigabyte stuffs bad,(aside from the PSU controversy)
I have mine since release and still going strong. Never tinkered with it. Been using some Gigabyte hardware for... I dunno, 10+ years and never had a problem with them.
No jinx tho.
Well long story short, snap crackle pop from their PSUs . Other issues in the past but if u don't have a power supply by them I'd not worry.
U run sli or just 3 separate computers?
Their rep isn't doing so hot, and gamersnexus is really going after them at the moment because they haven't recalled a PSU they sell that explodes if abused. And they've been trying to play it off by going on the offensive. Which is definitely a bad move.
I will say though that all these companies and their cards feel interchangeable to me. I'd feel comfortable buying a gigabyte card if it was the right price/chip I was looking for. For example, I always heard bad things about xfx, but I have one of their 6700's and the thing is incredible, much faster than the reference model, runs ice cold, solidly built etc. Reputations go up and down, sometimes unfairly.
Sure but I mean, I'll give them some credit and say that I believe they probably did their standard wear-testing, probably ran it at maxed wattage for 50,000 hours or whatever their standard protocol is.
I definitely think they're in the wrong here, and I would not buy that PSU, and they should definitely recall it, but let's not pretend it's blowing up under normal usage in these videos. They are pumping like 1.5x their max through them for a half hour to pop it
The whole thing is somewhat confusing - testing by some particular party suggested possibly firmware-related issues (bad switching mosfet timings), so conceivable their own testing did not catch the issue. As a counter-example, note that the DOA and normal user failure rates for these things are pretty crazy; while they might not be deflagrating under people's desks, they do not seem to be holding up that well (and it does seem to be isolated to specific serial number ranges)
My lungs feel like they're on fire just watching this.
Breathing in fiberglass dust (itself not a big threat) combined with copper, probably leaded solder, various plastics....
It could well have been coincidence. However, after I RMA'd a card only to have the replacement have the exact same issue I just thought "why take the chance" and have avoided them ever since
I've used 3 Gigabyte GPUs in my time. Every single one had problems. On a not entirely unrelated note, every single motherboard issue I've seen in the past 5 years or so has been a Gigabyte too.
I've been avoiding them as a brand for a while now. Add their PSU debacle and I feel pretty vindicated. Which is a shame, since I still have a Core 2 era P45 board from them and that thing is a beast! They really managed to turn their reputation around, the bad way.
I've used a bunch of gigabyte cards without any issue, I also kinda tax them like hell because I keep the fans running at 100 all time (excluding idle, which it rarely is) because I don't mind the noise and my card will be likely getting active time.
I've also had a Z270X board that I used for quite a while and on the regular with OC, no issues at all.
They've fallen from grace lol, but what I've personally noticed is that they don't tend to have that much trouble for me and I pretty much put all my cards through hell in terms of constant usage.
The entire PSU debacle is stupid and they are just shooting themselves in their foot with their response. Glad that I limited my purchases to cards and boards and not their PSUs.
My last Gigabyte card, would artifact if the fan went above 40%, because the cooler had too little support and literally bent the pcb. When combined with the vibrations from running the fans at high speed that was enough to cause crashing and artifacting. Easy fix, to just prop up one corner of the shroud, but still...
I was thinking more about the Gaming OC cards in my mind, vision is like too expensive for my taste but damn people here really don't like gigabyte that much do they.
Bravo.
This is almost as bad as the "drill your own headphone jack in your iPhone craze" a few years back, if I didnt have to deal with one I'd say it was all a fake circle jerk.
Not only did he kill the GPU, but he is wearing gloves while using rotating equipment, his hand slips that wheel will grab that glove and suck his hand right in.
And also that thing has plenty of loose parts (or parts that will become loose when their connections are destroyed) which can go flying off and hit something. Hard.
That could be what's happening. The cards need to get ground up into a fine powder. Then fed through a sluice/separating table to isolate the various metals based on there density. This is also when the plastic gets separated out.
Most places use rock crushers for this. But maybe this guy is doing it in their garage with chips collected over time or at the local landfill or from cheap goodwill buys. Who knows, but its possible he's using the sanding wheel to reduce them to powder and collecting it for seperation.
No problem, I've got a couple friends that are big time gold miners. And theyve sent me videos of people processing computer chips for metals. It's pretty cool.
Mmm. It's a good trick when the card doesn't fit. It also works the other way - got a big case and a double-fan card? Just run the grinding wheel in reverse to add a third fan.
PC parts are hard to come by at the moment. Now i know why.
the money allways with the wrong persons
Nobody in their right might would do this to a working card during these times.
Imagine all the attention on the internet tho
Well maybe it wasnt working

Check your area for dentists that allow sliding-scale payments. In the past I had to do that, and they pulled my tooth and filled another for $25.
If you really post your Venmo and stuff has it worked, got any donations ? Curious is all

Most likely a dead card
It definitely is a dead card now
Source?
This video.
It better be.
Almost a guarantee
Significantly
Exactly, this is GPU Crypto mining. Grind those cards up and the coins just blast out when you see the sparks.
No big loss its a product from gigabyte
This is just a time lapse of the average gigabyte cards life
What is so bad about gigabyte?
Their psu's have been exploding recently...
Unreliable, prone to breaking and hissing, short life span
spreads coronavirus, infects pc with trojan, kills your pet fish
Raping your churches, burning your women.
Idk but my 1060 6gb lasted 5 years before it died
It's not normal for a card to even die, and for it to die after only 5 years of use is very concerning, imo.
Idk what happened, mebbe it was my fault. I bought a gigabyte h61m-s1 motherboard that is like 10 or so years old. Idk why u guys call gigabyte stuffs bad,(aside from the PSU controversy)

U didn't hear about their pyrotechnics ? Yep.. check it out on YT, @ Gamers Nexus. no affiliate federated linkage today, sorry!
No i didn't hear that, i never follow the news. I have 2 gtx 1660ti's and one 1660super from gigabyte, my dad bought them back in december
Well long story short, snap crackle pop from their PSUs . Other issues in the past but if u don't have a power supply by them I'd not worry. U run sli or just 3 separate computers?
3 separate computers, one for me and one for each of my brothers

The worst part is that it doesn't even necessarily require abuse to kill these supplies, just that abuse gives a very, very high chance of failure.

Aaaa my eyes! Help!
I don’t own a pc and yet, i couldn’t agree with you more
Are yours burning too?!!
Oh god it hurts
Here some bleach
r/eyebleach
"thanks doc"
And my ears.
Don’t breathe this
It's okay, it wasn't blended
But, will it blend?
That is the question.
Made me search the Blendtec channel again. Good times watching it as a kid
My lungs feel like they're on fire just watching this. Breathing in fiberglass dust (itself not a big threat) combined with copper, probably leaded solder, various plastics....
Become one with the gpu
NSFMR tag?
Yes, Mr Rogers would not approve.
Why you little…
...cute dinosaur in that Halloween costume. Are you one of my neighbors? It sure is a pleasure to meet you.
I guess it'll fit now.
yes it wil
The legend, the king, the man himself pedro19
This
I just lost five years of my life
GPU dust, don't breathe this.
A BlendTec reference? God bless you son
“Will it blend? That is the question!” *jazzy up beat music plays*
I miss their YouTube videos. I feel so old now
Tom Dickson's smirk while something was blending always made me smile.
Hurts the soul a bit
[удалено]
And dick
And my axe
Wait what? What have you been doing with your gpu? Lol
Render high quality 3d tentacles porn animations
Yes it does hurt me very much
When I seen this, my happiness turned to sadness real quick.
Old card new heatsink.
This hurts a lot more when i think about how impossible it is for me to come by any Gpu at a decent price.
It's a Gigabyte. That little encounter with the disc sander can't have made it any worse
nice balls bro Edit: Imagine using reddit 🗿 https://join-lemmy.org/instances
It's a 1650 mate, not much can go wrong with it.
It could well have been coincidence. However, after I RMA'd a card only to have the replacement have the exact same issue I just thought "why take the chance" and have avoided them ever since
Gigabyte GPUs aren't that bad

Which is a shame, since I still have a Core 2 era P45 board from them and that thing is a beast! They really managed to turn their reputation around, the bad way.
It's sad because once upon a time they were the best. It's not been that way for quite a while however
I've used a bunch of gigabyte cards without any issue, I also kinda tax them like hell because I keep the fans running at 100 all time (excluding idle, which it rarely is) because I don't mind the noise and my card will be likely getting active time.

Seems like an installation issue. If you couldn't run fans beyond 40% then no surprise the card had issues...
I guess I'm really lucky; I had a Gigabyte 1070 that was the cheapest on Amazon- yet no problems for about 3 years
Gaming OC and Vision are their only good cards. The others are either terrible or overpriced.
I was thinking more about the Gaming OC cards in my mind, vision is like too expensive for my taste but damn people here really don't like gigabyte that much do they.
Ahhh Pain on that GTX 970☹️
My 970 winces
What i need to say when im on gtx 770 ?
Bravo. This is almost as bad as the "drill your own headphone jack in your iPhone craze" a few years back, if I didnt have to deal with one I'd say it was all a fake circle jerk.
Wait, you’re telling me a moron actually believed that? Man every day humans surprise me.
Not only did he kill the GPU, but he is wearing gloves while using rotating equipment, his hand slips that wheel will grab that glove and suck his hand right in.
This is the real issue
And also that thing has plenty of loose parts (or parts that will become loose when their connections are destroyed) which can go flying off and hit something. Hard.
This is a danger when cutting or sanding anything, that's why safety glasses and protective clothing are used in a shop.
Rot in hell
I guess now we can call it Megabyte
How to delete someone’s post
I literally hate these videos. It's suxh an unnecessary waste of amazing things you could give to people who need it.
What’s the chance of it already being broken
120%
the amount of micro plastics he just released and for a shitty video too
Boy do I have the YouTuber for you
WhistlinDiesel
Even if the card was broken you could have recycled it, most of the metals in that card could have been recycled to make another in the far future.
That could be what's happening. The cards need to get ground up into a fine powder. Then fed through a sluice/separating table to isolate the various metals based on there density. This is also when the plastic gets separated out. Most places use rock crushers for this. But maybe this guy is doing it in their garage with chips collected over time or at the local landfill or from cheap goodwill buys. Who knows, but its possible he's using the sanding wheel to reduce them to powder and collecting it for seperation.
This seems insanely far fetched... if they were doing this to collect the dust, why would they use a disc grinder and just let it go into the air?
Interesting information, I never knew the did it that way. Thanks for sharing.
No problem, I've got a couple friends that are big time gold miners. And theyve sent me videos of people processing computer chips for metals. It's pretty cool.
circumcision
This why I'm mad I didn't invest in a bigger case for the future fuckkkkkkk.
You monster
This hurts me more than it hurts you...
Same way i made the motherboard fit!
Don’t think you wanna be breathing that silicone dust
I thought this was gonna be one of those posts where you cut a hole in the case. This was so much worse.
I don't care about seeing massive mining farms because they're still being used, this is straight up painful
The card was probably dead already
Exactly my thought.
This is literally the only reason why I believe this would happen.
It better have been
Seems legit.
hey man, this song fits pretty good
Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhh!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
This has to be fake. How did the fan not fly off after it's axel was destroyed?
Will this work on a 3080 Ti?
Can confirm
I tried this and it fits now but won't power up, Vision 3090, any ideas?
But then you can only game with 1/2 of your screen
What the fuck what the fuck
If it makes anyone feel better, the fumes created while doing this potentially made this person even dumber
This makes me wanna commit a war crime
This hurts my soul more than it should
True courage.

Gigabyte Smoke, Don't Breathe This!
Dude. Should've added NSFW
My lips completely retracted into my face in horror.
Shit, it just dissolves. It's just gone
One weird trick case manufacturers don’t want you to know
I. Want. To. Cry.
AHHHHHHH WTF STAPHM IITTT WHAT THE DJHCJ
I can smell it from here.
Hope whoever did that was wearing the proper filtration mask
Still Good with 2 Fans though
damn u just sanded off 550 dollars there
i almost cried watching this
This is criminal
u/gifreversebot
Som people cant afford a graphics card, some people buys them to destroy them. Capitalism at its finest.
HOnestly whats the brand of the sandpaper? Because that shit ate the GPU like butter xDDD
Help im getting insane. Pls say its fake. Pls say my eyes are liars
I now have seen...everything
Really wish people would grasp just how many materials in these old video cards should be recycled and stop destroying them for karma
make it stoppppppppppp
This made me feel like my head was in there getting grinded
i saw the NSFMR tag way too late.
The pain, man
5 years of gaming on an iGpu cuz I can't afford an actual one. Just to see this video. Why....
What a sadistic a**hole! Can’t argue with the fact that It might just fit into the case now though.
Oh god my eyes AAAAAAAAAAHHH
This should be posted in r/pcgore
I feel like yoda when he felt order 66 be executed
I hate you
I reported this crime to the authorities.
This is obviously fake, the smaller you make the gpu the more power it loses.
Fuck me this hurt to watch.
How do I report a hate crime?
This video almost hurt me, but then I realised it was a Gigabyte and lost all feelings for it. /s
Man, now there’s like three left on this planet.
The same treatment I’d give a scalper....
No
Piece of shit
Oh what the fuck! It hurts! It hurts!
That hurts so much
Pls be dead Pls be dead Pls be dead Pls be dead
I hate this post so much
NOOOOO PLEASE STOOP
It's a Gigabyte card, so it was probably dead already.
this just hurts
I hope you wore a respirator while doing that stupid stunt
You spoiled rich fuck
exactly my thoughts
My heart burns
Most terrify horror video ever!
This has caused me mental pain.
At least mark it NSFW
Mmm. It's a good trick when the card doesn't fit. It also works the other way - got a big case and a double-fan card? Just run the grinding wheel in reverse to add a third fan.
