Did anyone try these GPUs ?

Only $7 a piece.

I reballed several Falcons, but E74 or RROD 0110 usually come back in several months. Now I want to try new GPUs. If they are pre-balled with lead-free solder I will re-ball them, this is not a problem.

nothing out there is new man,they are all just preballed gpu that have been pulled from units.ive found almost every supplier ive used for gpu hit or miss tbh,i just get me 5 gpu preballed to start out with,then set the 5 i see next to side and reball em myself on slower days.

Even those suppliers that advertise their GPUs as 100% new sell used ones ?

You can't buy them new. They're all system pulls.

Look over them with a microscope and you'll see remains of thermal paste between the components around the dies.

I asked the seller whether the GPUs are new or pulled from the systems and got the answer "Friend, not 100% new chip"
I suspect that $7 chips are not even pre-balled. But I placed the order anyway, will see...

oh they will almost certainly be balled already,now if they work or not is the question,you might get lucky and get 1 or 2 workin ones out of 5 lol,usually anyway.

Another thing to keep in mind is if they had E74 before or not, these cheap ones have a tendency to get that after just a few days of use and we all know ehat that means.

I've only had to replace 2 GPUs on consoles (for the ones I originally replaced). There's no exact science to replacement processors.

you mean 3..4 out of 5 don't work at all, or RRoD/E74 comes back in couple of days/months ?

I ordered them, ill report back whenever i use them with results.

Eugene, have you already got these chips? Do you think they will be delivered? Seven bucks for a GPU (pulled from a system) seems way too cheap to be real, or am I wrong?

 

[[email protected]]

I'm sure they will be delivered. But I'm not excited about it, as my previous experience tells me that RROD 0110 / E74 (typical for Falcons) usually comes back sooner or later no matter whether you re-ball your current GPU or buy refurbished pre-balled one on ebay. That's why my question was whether it's possible to buy brand new GPU.

I haven't gotten them yet, but I'm pretty sure they sent me wrong chips.

X02056-010 is a Xenon model.

Received. These are indeed Xenon GPUs. I don't know what I'm going to do with them, but they look good and indeed $7 a piece.

where they preballed?

yes, they are preballed

 

[David Watters]

Not bad I'll have to order some and give them a try lol think I might have a couple of xenons laying around

GPUs are crap. I fixed one Xenon today. First GPU gave me E73, second GPU RROD 0102, and only with the third one it booted up.
