I gambled by buying 4 broken gtx 1070 gpus on ebay to see if I can get them working and set up on a mining rig. I have been using this method to obtain gpus for the last few months now with far greater success then I had initially anticipated.
This video's main usefulness will come from diagnosing and repairing GPUs number 2 and 3 as those demonstrate how I use my thermal cam to find shorts.
This video was recorded about 3 weeks ago. Since then, I have been successfully mining with 3 out of the 4 cards without any problems.
