Gainward GTX580 Phantom not working correctly

Black Magic

New member
It seems such a waste if i was to bin it, but is there anyone that repairs them? Bought it off ebay couple years ago, was in SLi with another one, which has lasted longer.

Issues i get it screen goes to smallest resolution, & white dashes across the screen, like somethings gone internally.

Suggestions?

Oh and SLi dont work neither. There is an error code that comes up (43 i think) in devices...

Unfortunately that could be many things, in fact it could possibly not even the a problem with the card (very slim chance).

though at the moment it sounds like a problem with the memory. You could always try upping the voltage manually and see if that helps, though it does not seem like a stability issue.

Have you tried removing the cooler and heatsinks and inspecting the die, chips etc?

Ive not, no. I did swop pcie locations, & the fault followed the card, as the triangle as shown in the pictures was the top one.

My aim was eventually to watercool both cards as i have brand spanking new aquacomputer waterblocks still im packaging, but now i got two 980's in a new build, in a new case & this has bust, not much point now.

So I'll have to sell the waterblocks now, unless i get another GTX580. Theyre cheap enough i guess...
