Re: Graphics card Schematics and Boardviews



Hi Byron, these cards have a tendency to sag and create a small crack at the shoe of the pci express release tab. If you look closely and you see this on either side of the card, I would prepare yourself for a very difficult/impossible even journey.

There are many traces that are buried between the multiple layers of the pcb, from 12v power traces to multiple data/signal on comm traces. There are 14 layers in total and with a good enough sized crack you may need to attack several layers and grind into them...
