I received 1 pc of this. trying to repair it.
5v on pcie slot was shorted. I removed 2 sets of mosfet from the main GPU power circuit.
I discovered something strange. the 12V to 5V regulator was missing from start. So suspect this was a repaired card.
But I am not sure where to tap the 5V from ??? the regulator was present in other cards as i saw video from youtube etc.

So now If i run the GPU without replacing the 2 sets of mosfets, will it be able to power up properly ?
I suspect i will be able to , same like motherboard. even 1 set of the cpu power mosfet is missing still can power up the board.

So if it start up find, then I can just buy and replace the 2 sets of mosfets and thing will be done.
Just trying to check around before i start a fire
thanks.
