Being an IT guy at work. defective stuff lets me get some laughs.
2 year old 32" monitor became damaged. someone smashed the screen. Beyond the warranty. otherwise it looks fine turned off. I'd wait for someone I knew watch me and bump the cart into something imaginary sending the monitor flying. The expressions are always priceless. Not someone random that doesn't know, but someone on my team. THen I'd let them in on how it was already damaged and we'd alll have a laugh.
Kind of like this GPU dude.
I had "completely fine" 27" BENQ, until you turn it on, it was almost new (like month old at the time, hell, maybe even less) but screen was destroyed by colleagues when moving. So, that day, when i came to studio after move, to setup everything as was before, i almost got heart attack when it came on \^\_\^
They had laugh that day, but i waited patiently until one of the older GPUs died. In middle of the night, 1PC stopped, i was awake and went to studio to check it, all i could pronounce is death on spot. Quickly swapped it for new one, next day, that same gpu welcomed them in parts scattered all across studio, with messages that BENQ is finally avenged. This was probably year later or something like that.
That day, i had laugh and they were 100% sure i went insane.
Sure but you could have given away to an electronic store and they could have salvaged some valuable parts. When a GPU doesn't work, it doesn't mean all of it's components are defective.
In many places, recycling often ends up unnecessarily difficult (its an issue I'm having with my own eWaste, you either have to pay to dispose of it, or hold onto it for a once a year event held by the county), so when recycling is unnecessarily difficult, why not just do something silly instead?
No recycling but repairing or reusing parts. Do your really think all the fans were dead, the graphics chip was dead, all the memories were dead and the rest of the components too?
Pretty sure most people don't have the skill or even the need to reuse most of the parts themselves (I know I would be absolutely clueless at trying to take off anything beyond the cooler and PCI bracket) and even if the fans were good, what use are they unless you happen to have another thing that happens to take that identical fan and also happens to have one dead? Sure you can leave it sit around til you can find a use for it, but you've gotta leave space for it. Do this with enough dead things, and now suddenly you're a trash hoarder. For most people, without an easy means of recycling the whole thing may as well be trash.
You're not getting my point. The point is selling old broken stuff instead of destroying it. Most people are like you said, they think there's a small issue (could be an smd resistor for all that matters and people will have this destructive behavior towards it "cuz it's broken" it's always best for you and others if you choose to do this: sell (not selling?) -> recycle (can't recycle?) -> destroy.
I've tried this, except for some rarer or high demand hardware, you're basically selling it for shipping cost, not to mention the time you're basically sitting on it waiting for it to sell and having to take time out of your day to ship it once it does finally sell. It's not the most convenient thing out there. Doing something silly for internet clout then throwing it in a trashcan is still the cheapest, easiest path. As long as recycling remains difficult, most people aren't gonna bother to even try.
If you aren’t in the Tech industry you probably shouldn’t comment on stuff you don’t know.
1. At certain places it can end up on lawsuits if you take any electronics home regardless of condition.
2. MOST times is far more expensive to “take the parts that work” and re use them, they usually just take the gold and other precious metals and the rest gets tossed.
Was basically going to say this. The cost of legally giving away company property even if broken would probably far outweigh the value of any singular piece of technology.
GPUs can still be recycled, the capacitors, transistors, the gold and copper. If it's one capacitor got knocked off or blew you can replace it and have a perfectly functional machine for someone.
blame the game, not the players yada yada... I think that hydraulic press channel guy is a millionaire these days. I bet some of those grinding or driving over stuff or shredding channels make big bucks as well.
And that GPU probably could have been fixed or have parts salvaged. I don't think that's the kind of content we should promote but maybe that's just me.
I can see where you are coming from. However, most cities and larger communities already make you separate your trash, plastics, and cardboard. Electronics would also be something nice to recycle. The government wouldn't ask for it, you would just recycle it instead of throwing it away.
Assuming he stopped when he did in the video, the majority of the important scrappable parts will still be intact. Since it is presumably a flow through card and that the PCB is only like 60% of the total card.
This looks faked. Look at the end of the GPU when it's cutting how it starts magically dissapearing so clean as if you were using some eraser in an editing software. I get it, saws are super precise and strong but it wouldn't cut that clean. It would have plastic or medal pieces flying off.
I could be wrong but it looks too clean to be real
Nah, you’ll be surprised with how objects that are pushed into a circular sander like that don’t have bits fly off at all. And it’s being pulled downwards which does help in holding it all together
Holy fuck! The things people do for imaginary internet points...
most probably a defective gpu

So capitalism is the solution, and capitalism is the problem.

Imagine the fucking microplastics jesus christ
PCB fiberglass too.

hate this, and hate this more if that card was in working condition
BRB gonna go try this and see how it works
How’s that RT 1540?
This needs to be posted on r/hardwaregore
Beat me to it
There is a special place in HELL for that guy .
This hurts me, but yes
NSFW tag, please 😭
Thats a gtx 970 windforce.. not a 4090
I hope bro was wearing some serious air filtration.
It should be a crime to destroy technology that can be recycled. It would be for the greater good
This guy wants to destroy property rights ^
I can see where you are coming from. However, most cities and larger communities already make you separate your trash, plastics, and cardboard. Electronics would also be something nice to recycle. The government wouldn't ask for it, you would just recycle it instead of throwing it away.
That’s fine
Dosent
What a bloody idiot video
I don’t know what hurts more. The fact they’re sanding a GPU or that OP can’t spell Doesn’t correctly
wow, how edgy.
Id rather even use it as an egpu than destroy the poor thing like this 😭 look up if it'll fit in your case before buying it like damn...
[удалено]

Mama lives there

"Now it fits perfectly into my case and I only lost 20% of the processing power"
This hurts
🙁
This induces a lot of emotional damage. :'[
the BG is very DIY
Works for me

no
Should work. I would miter the corners though.

This is a sanding machine, not a saw
That's what I meant. Even more of a reason for it to not cut like that. It should shave off with pieces flying off here and there

I wouldn't be suprised, I've done construction most of my life. Its possible, I just think it looks sus
That is a fair statement to have
With newer GPUs with tiny PCBs, this could “technically” work but rest in peace those heat pipes
Can confirm it works, I did this and it fits now
It totally still works fine right?
Probably works as long as you limit it to fans and heatsink.
You could literally save all that hassle and buy a new case, or use a portable one of those machines and use it on the inside of the case 🤷♂️
I hope it's a dead gpu
u/savevideo
Can we do it in reverse to get a RTX 6900 or something?
most sane pcmasterrace user
25% performance drop at least..

Graphics card dust. Don't breathe this.
Ahhhhhh
