Thanks RazorWind. I've checked out the sense pins, it looks like there's a dry soldier joint on the sense pin and the LG2 pin according to the data sheet. Resistance is in the 275kohms range which makes me think this could be a potential contributor. There's also corrosion on the regulator...

Still no improvement. I have purchased a $50 paperweight. Onto the next project? Thank you for your suggestions everyone!

Memory voltage at the coil is 1.574V. this is consistent across the capacitors dotted around the memory chips as well. I've had a closer look at the capacitors around the memory. I've cleaned off some stubborn residue that I suspect is just left over flux from manufacturing. On the back of the...

I've had the same experience with hard drives and usb devices. Absolutely zero feedback or function on windows, but work perfectly in Linux. I have booted a live version of Ubuntu 18.4 LTS and it has the same symptoms as when it is booted in windows. Are there any tools under Linux that would...

Bios I have flashed is the same as a known good version from TechPowerUp that matches the version printed on the card. It doesn't look like the version it came with has been modified either when I look at it in the MaxwelBiosTweaker tool. Samsung memory chips on this board, from the coil (R33...

Reflashed the BIOS of the card with several compatible versions on TechPowerUp, but the symptoms remain the same. I've reverted to the same version that the card had when I received it. If the power delivery circuit feeding the memory is failing under load when the card starts, should I try...

Fair point, the consensus seems that this was a bad move, I have obviously been very lucky in the past with other repairs where it seems to have made a difference. PCIE 12 volt to ground is 3.4M ohms after the card has been disconnected all night, Falls gradually from there to to 19.14k ohms...

Mmmmm the popcorn smell is how you know its working

A reflash is something that I want to try. GPUz managed to pull the bios file from the card, so I should be able to push a new one. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and see if it makes any difference.

I saw the Graphics Card Necromancy - EVGA 980 Ti Classified and figure this is the right place to ask for inspiration (but as a forum newbie, please (please?) correct me). I was surfing the internet and found an EVGA GTX 980Ti for $50. The seller was up front that it was definitely not working...
