So running heavy graphics will kill your system over time. Of course that is the same as the old Packard expecting it to work beyond what it was designed to run at. So what does this have to do with the MacBook Pro’s? Basically, the same! The applications we run on these systems have just like the roads gotten better but in doing so we are expecting the system to keep up running these apps without failing us. We of course don’t blame the car as it did what it was designed to run at, the roads just got better! So going 60 in the old 1950 Packard would quickly kill the engine as the road was just too much for it. Within 20 short years the interstates and most major roads where rebuilt into modern roads we have today able to support cars running 85 MPH or faster as the top speed most limited to 65 MPH. Roads that you could maybe travel at best 50 MPH. But, if you pushed it over 60 MPH for long periods you would kill the engine! In the day the roads where still mostly dirt or gravel other than the cities which were mostly cobblestone and tar. We forget the design of a given system was based on the technology it was build with, not for the applications we desire to run on it today, which can push the system to the breaking point.Ī 1950 Packard Super 8 was a great car in its day, its top speed was about 85 MPH. Its suspected NVIDEA was smart enough to add a bit of lead into the solder (or used a better formulation) they used within the chip so the issue is not present within their chips. Unfortunately when running bench () I notice that the. While we can clean off the old solder and apply Leaded solder around the external joints we just can’t get into the chip to fix the Flip-Chip joints. MacBook Pro mid-2012, Retina display - terrible benchmark performance for graphics Hi, I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro with the following key specs: 2.6 GHz Intel i7 quad-core processor 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 1GB graphics card + Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 GB SSD. So using a Lead containing solder removed the Tin whiskers risk as well as solder breakdown (cold solder joints) which is also present. The 2011 GPU’s had this failure internally as the chip ran hotter and Apple failed to cool the GPU effectively. Further parts and labor are in addition to this.

It is believed excessive heat aggravates this process. Professional MacBook Pro GPU Repair In the case that you want to have your graphics card repaired professionally, it might cost you: most graphics cards range from 100 to 500 depending on how advanced the card is or the work you need done.
This can happen within either solder join area. As the volume of Tin increases in the solder, the Tin can create whiskers! This is when the tin migrates material to an apposing charge ( NASA - What are Tin Whiskers). The issue is in fact the soldering which can be either the chips external connections or it can be the joints within the chip (FlipChip).Īpple’s push for lead-free solder while noble got them into trouble.
Arberman is correct the 2011 models have a bad GPU and/or the VRAM chips.
