      I guess. By the way X-CON polymers were somewhat omited though they are of the best…

          hi everyone

          first of all : i'm not good at electronics :XD

          yesterday i was playing in "nier automata" for a long time and i heard an explosion and the PC restart

          it seems to work fine but when i clic on a video or a game it shutdown

          i found that my GTX460 was the problem

          i dissassembly it and found that 5KQ12/270/16V capacitor exploded

          is that cap the only damaged one ? cuz it seems to work fine until i clic on a video

          can i replace it with a 330/16V or 180/16V ?

          any idea would be apreciated ^___^ !

            The 330 uF, 16V should do, as long as it is a POLYMER capacitor.

              thank you so much ^^
              but the heat is not normal (i think)
              now it reatch 73 C

              does it means something else is bad ???

                What reached 73C?
                The capacitor or the GPU?

                  nah the temperature is normal for that gpu. the gtx460 is a mid-high end gpu plus the stock cooler on the evga is crap if its the single fan stock cooler. lots of failed single fan evga gtx460 cards on ebay so no surprises there. btw caps dont explode for a reason. make sure your psu has sufficient wattage to power the power-hungry gtx460 and make sure its not a junk no-name brand psu!

                    @ChaosLegionnaire
                    i have a good PSU with 650W
                    and my GTX460 is not evga it's AZUS

                    does this means that cap is the only one damaged ???
                    the card is working fine now
                    but i'm worried about a future explosion >w< !

                      Ouch.

                      While ChaosLegionnaire is correct that those GeForce GTX 4x0 and 5x0 cards run very hot, you should still try to keep yours as cool as possible. Try using a program like RivaTuner or MSI Afterburner to turn up the GPU's fans, especially when playing games (might want to put the fan at 100% on very demanding games).

                      Yes, probably. When polymer caps go bad, they typically go just like you saw. So no need to worry now that you replaced that cap. If there are anymore to go, they will go, and there's nothing you can do about it. Just use it and see. Most likely, the rest of the caps will be fine.

                        While ChaosLegionnaire is correct ...

                        Yes, probably...
                        i did a hardware mod (i add another fan ^w^ !)
                        it get 30C when watching videos and 50C when playing games
                        i think that's okey (i will try the software you listed)
                        thank you for everything !
