Привет дорогие товарищи

This article is about this card:
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/213986/213986

The 4 phases of the core voltage are incredibly hot!. I can say 100'C, maybe more. PWM controller works in a strange way, it turns outputs almost at the same time.
Digi+ ASP1106 does not look as already replaced by someone before.

This card boots to Windows, drivers are accepted but it goes to the black screen or image flickering when 3D is run.

Channels on the oscilloscope 1,2,3,4 from the top choke to the bottom choke.

I spotted now, during writing this post that BIOS is for Elpida but I have Hynix... It was another bios inside and this overheating was present anyway. I found unverified, but original bios for Hynix.

Please help friends

Механические повреждения, трещины дорожек ?

I don't see anything suspicious, even under the microscope. Power transistors work along with their gate drivers as you can see on the scope. The problem comes from the brain, from the Digi+ ASP1106.

People say this chip is similar to the RT8877 or RT3667BE. There are PDF manuals for them. There is one point called "Quick Response":


Whatever it is, it may add pulses but I have never seen such behavior before so I posted images from my oscilloscope. Maybe someone have seen at least double pulses on GPU VRMs.

It looks like a PWM pumps inrush power in response to the big load which is not present. The whole board is quiet, rather cool on the thermal camera. GPU is only warm with such a small radiator as seen on one image above. I always put this small radiator wit a small fan on top of the crystal and it is warm under windows. I don't stress test it like that of course but Windows desktop and tserver work for memory testing.

Do we have real documentation for ASP1106 ?

ASP1106 = ISL95712

Thank you for this tip.

It means that PWM, in my case, works constantly in "FIGURE 7. R3™ MODULATOR OPERATION PRINCIPLES IN LOAD
INSERTION RESPONSE" https://www.renesas.com/us/en/document/ ... -datasheet page11.

So I have possibility that there is something wrong with conditioning circuit before COMP, FB, VSEN pins or the chip got crazy. I have to make some measurements.

Finally I repaired it. It was really the behavior of this "LOAD INSERTION RESPONSE" or "Quick Response" circuit. I reflowed all components around PWM along with the DIGI+ chip itself and no reaction, no change.
Finally after days of contemplation I looked deeper by the microscope, from an angle and it looked like one or two pins marked on the image below did not have enough tin. I soldered all suspiciously looking joints an all four sides.

Now the VRM is arctic cold and GPU does not go black under load and of course pulses on the chokes are as expected 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. So remember to use two channels of the oscilloscope when you have instability problems. You must ensure that PWM gives the proper pulses and they are shifted properly.

Thank you everybody who wanted to help

In general it was the closest answer but these pins are so small that I did not expect it

This was extremely helpful because the timing diagram pointed me to the "LOAD INSERTION RESPONSE" circuit.
