At my wits' end with this iMac 2017's GPU issues.

[Pandemicc]

hello everyone.

I have an iMac 2017 4k that has Radeon 555 Pro. Its GPU fails every three months of use, I replaced the chipset two times now I need some insight before going for the third run. Now it lays dead, waiting, only 2 leds lights up.

First of all, should I just give up? and the second thing I wonder if this thing can be UMA'd? I couldn't find anything on the interwebs about whether the UMA is doable or not.

Are you saying you had someone microsoldering a new GPU chip into this system? Twice?
