    Nvidia Chipset problems - What's affected?

    We all know about the problems with nvidia chipsets and GPUs. My question is, exactly what Chipsets and GPUs are affected? From what I've read, the 8-series GPUs are affected, but is there anything else?
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

    Re: Nvidia Chipset problems - What's affected?

    Quite a hard one to tell...

    Well, I only owned the NF3-150 once for a while and showed me no problems - probably due to the AGP which had no problems in those times with Nforce chipsets...but as for todays PCIe...really I have no idea. I personally do not recommend any contemporary (if they're still out there) Nforce crap - really don't know what happened in Nvidia...Have only some bad experience with RAM speed setup, it always degraded 800MHz to 667 and won't run stable at all, tried A-data & Corsair = fair brands, one low and the second high end manufacturer to me. But as for the GPUs, no experience...could you specify further what are the problems in peculiar? Lazy to browse google

        Last I heard it includes:
        G92, G92B, G86, G86A2, G84, C51, G72, G72M, G73, G72A3, MCP67, MCP73V and NV42.

        I basically consider anything nVidia made with a 2007 or 2008 date code as suspect.

            6 series GPUs? I didn't know the problem went back that far.

            Reason I ask is because I have a system with an MCP61 chipset. Did the problem affect motherboard chipsets? or was it only graphics cards?

              G71 too, remember it's all variants, desktop, mobile and workstation (Quadro)

                you need to remember it is mostly only a problem with laptops simply because you cant put a copper housebrick in a laptop

                although the agp / pci cards still cook the shit out of the caps.

                  Re: Nvidia Chipset problems - What's affected?

                  stj; Yea, it is a heat issue
                  If the standard cooler is replaced with a beefy copper one (or as in my case a water block) then the cards will be fine
                  I have used a 8800GTS 512MB G92 for almost 3 years now, voltmodded and heavily overclocked...
                  I have noted tho that the maximum clock I can achieve has been reduced by 20Mhz
                  So clearly the silicon can't take a beating at high vgpu, not that this should be seen as anything strange of course, it's true for all silicon
                  But just that nVidia's bean counters probably did push the limits too far this time...

                    Just archiving everything related to bumpgate since most stuff has disappeared from Google. Maybe people will finally take the time to read some of it and stop shouting "reflow gpu" at every occasion but rather try to understand what the real issue is…
                    Interesting parts about the failure analysis are "Why Nvidia's chips are defective" and "Why Nvidia's duff chips are due to shoddy engineering"


                    May complete this post at a later date with more details.
