Hi guys,
i have a hd 6990 which has 2 gpus in a pcb. the odd thing is the card works but 3.3V line has various resistance readings. mostly 0.7 ohm and sometimes i read 1 kohm. both cases the card runs just fine but 3.3 V line becomes very hot due to low resistance,i guess. especially dc to dc buck convertor on the riser. it reaches 95 C degrees in 5 minutes. a good working card makes it run at 45 C degrees usually. what should be my next move ? inject voltage from 3.3 V to see what is causing extra heat and check with thermal cam ?
any suggestions will be appreciated. i can upload photos if needed.
