Agreed. Also, don't Auction them off, since you might get complaints when they fail after a month's use. Just blow them up. Sacon FZ should NEVER under ANY circumstances be sold, purchased, or used in any devices

Unless sold IED's for use in Afghanistan....

Ok, I will get a few of these. And I might still auction the FZ's with all the warnings I have heard and with what I learned about them here. Maybe someone will want something to blow up lol.
I have the replacement heatsink and fan for the 8800GT graphics card now so a long session of desoldering and soldering is getting closer to happening for me.
Thank you all for all your help it is appreciated.

Last thought _ I just cant stop searching for the perfect capacitor lol. Is this Rubycon MCZ ok. It has a ripple of around 2450?

A ruby MCZ would be an excellent replacement. I've used them to replace FZs on other cards before.

Ok. This is fantastic, thanks very much. I am glad I could wait long enough to find something worthwhile to put on the card.

Thanks everyone
I will post after the repair.

I have not repaired the card yet but I can't stay away.....I just bought the MCZ repalcement capacitor and a few spares of the same for a few dollars and a replacement heatsink and fan and will soon repair the 8800GT card. Then I can get on with repairing a few motherboards another graphics card and two HP L1955 LCD monitors which already bought the capacitors for. I think I might buy only L1955 monitors if those two repairs work ok.
