possibility of saving a short circuited 1080ti

[Brandon Hamilton]

Pretty sure I shorted my Zotac 1080ti amp extreme, the lights and fans still work etc but is no longer displaying outputs or is detected by the PC - if taken to a professional is there a good chance it can be recovered?

 

[Brandon Hamilton]

Well I plugged in a new WiFi chip and now I'm having all sorts of problems, sometimes my m.2 won't be recognised on bootup, and sometimes the WiFi chip works and sometimes it doesn't? Problem could lie with my PSU?

It was a tplink one that slots straight into the mobo, replaced the mobo and still having issues, got my GPU at a specialist now so fingers crossed

 

[Brandon Hamilton]

Well I tried all of them, still no improvement. Installed new mobo yesterday and were up and running just with the occasional hiccup on booting up

Yeah I have, didn't work currently using hdmi through integrated graphics

Turns out guys it was my CPU! It was no longer communicating with my pcie 16, and was causing issues all around

 

[Brandon Hamilton]

Still will set me back a little but not nearly as much as a GPU in this current market

 

[Brandon Hamilton]

Hopefully! New CPU is going in today, should solve all these little issues and I'll be back online
