Tried desoldering the suspected FET but gave up at some point since it didn't want to come off easily (as expected TBF) and been quite busy the last week anyway. I will try putting the card in the oven first for my next try for like 10-15 mins at 80°C or something and use my soldering station...

Short update as promised: while continuing taking measurements I just realized that GND from the 8-pin header doesn't seem to have a connection to the general board GND (e.g. Display-Port connector). Am I overseeing something here? The suspected "good" AON7403 is still removed from the board...

Ok, wouldn't have expected 5-10A actually, I would have started way more conservative if I wouldn't have asked haha Thanks for clarifying though, will get back with the results as soon as tomorrow night (afternoon US time) :)

Great! Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately I'll have to wait until tomorrow because I've just found out my old lab power supply went missing. I'll definitely let you guys know how it went :-) If I may just ask one more question: how many Amps would you recommend injecting with 1V?

First, thank you very much for your follow-up and enthusiasm, I really do appreciate it a lot! Yes, the unit I'm working on is the Founders Edition (a.k.a the reference board). C247 positive to 6-pin positive = 0 Ohms C247 negative to 6-pin positive = 2.7 Ohms C247 positive to 6-pin negative =...

Glad to have written here before! Sure thing, looking forward hearing from you!

Hi guys! Wow, I didn't expect so many people having the same trouble with 980 cards, especially the "Ti" models and related ones - I'm glad to have stumbled upon this thread! A colleague of mine had a 980Ti (Founders Edition = reference design) laying around, which broke the other day when the...
