hello
i have a question abt repair this gpu
last night my gpu died when i was playing game ,i got one shot from furmark(before dead) i had some suspicion for power delivery to the core
a few days ago got another benckmark saw many stutter power draw (230w to 156w) and drop core clock (1816mhz to 1645mhz)
so maybe repairing MOsfets will solve the problem
or forget abt it?
thx

Don't use Furmark, get results from the actual games being played. All FM is good for is cooler testing - it looks good here - and it's a power virus, so no surprise it's slamming into the green power limit cap.
The board power limit on the Gaming OC is 250w, 300w with the power slider maxed.

If it was mined on, then memory controller might have bit the dust, and that's part of the gpu die. There's no fixing that.
Gaming speeds up wear on power delivery/VRM, mining speeds up wear on memory controller. Regardless, if you lose either, it's game over... well, a specialist might be able to repair power delivery.

GPU 1080ti Gaming OC Giga (worst gpu i ever had much noisy 45db )
Mine was pretty inaudible (about 1.5m away from me)...

There are holes in your story/issue. You didn't mention the make and model of your system, the age of the PSU and the state of the GPU prior to today, i.e, if the GPU was even bought second hand? and if it was, when was it purchased?

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Really a shame to lose a 1080ti. They are still quite relevant and at a performance level that requires 6800/3070 levels to meaningfully outperform.

Unless you are already adept at such repair/replacement (in which you probably wouldn't be asking our opinion) it is highly unlikely that an attempt to change onboard components is going to net any result apart from possible entertainment and time use. You make no mention of temperatures, so my go to suggestion would be a thorough cleaning with a repaste and pad.

thats my luck unfortunately
max temp i got from this gpu 78c but i used afterburnner to undervoltage got 74C~75c fan spin 55%~58% everything was good
maybe last user i bought from him much used it as possible
i mean mining !!!

Define "luck". How much did you pay for this card?

If it was anything even close to its stated performance and you paid a price commiserate with a used mining card you may not have come out that bad for a year's use.

Mine was pretty inaudible (about 1.5m away from me) with the original cooler and didn't see over 65C under load. I ran the fans at 100% when using it, because it couldn't be heard over whatever was being played at the time.
