    Question Buying a GTX 1060 with a burnt inductor. Is it possible to fix?

    No, but you can resolder with a regular iron. About the part - was hoping someone with either schematics or just general knowledge would help me here. I've seen posts on different cards with this being an inductor. At the start, I thought it was a resistor, but after checking aliexpress, it...

    Hey. I'm buying a GTX 1060 6gb mini from Zotac. The guy selling has burnt an inductor (or resistor, conflicting information online) off the card. It is SMD, and it looks fixable. The part in question is an R01 inductor/resistor and it's a part of the PLL VRM (saw on buildzoids PCB breakdown)...

    GTX 780ti Black screen when doing specific things

    Hey, I know the title is weird, but hear me out. I have a asus GTX 780ti with some random case fans (temp doesn't go over 75).

    Terrible FPS is some games, good on others

    Hey dudes, I play mostly CS:GO. My frames are just terrible in the game, dropping to 50 at points, even though I should be getting atleast 250 fps constantly. I have a lot of handles even with only CS open, but windows in general has a lot of handles, so I don't think it's that. See, this is...
