I recently had a 1070 fail. One of the fans stopped and it wouldn't produce video. Tried to clean the fans following an online video.

Unfortunately that didn't help at all.

BUT IT WAS SO DAMN STRESSFUL PULLING APART.

Thermal pads tearing, exact spacing required unknown, dangers to circuit boards, and slips all contribute to fear of ruining a video card.

Does anyone know a service that does card rehab? Replace all the pads and fans?

Edit - My location is California US.

replacing fans is hard in mycountry, i need to order via aliexpress and wait for 2 weeks, so i bought the fan at bulk, just some case needed for the future

the other things teardown and cleaning is easy, just lazy to do this sometimes, for gpu died i use 2 method : first using steam solder to re-hot the card and most likely it fix some broken gpus, the other method is using detergent to cleanup the board and is the last things, if the gpus stil died i send to gpus service for the last hope
