    Thank you guys!!

    I would like to thank all the members for helping me on my first succesfull recap..
    By reading your advices here I had the pleasure of reviving a graphics card that was only able to spin its fan.I put low quality caps on it as you can see on pictures because they were available to me..
    Well you can imagine how I felt when I turn the system on and I had image on my monitor..That was all I wanted ,I didn't care about stability etc.
    I couldn't stress the card to see how it behaves because there is a known issue with the M/B (it doesn't POST)but I will write details on another thread .
    The card is a RX1950PRO.You can see in photo the caps that were replaced(5 of them)

    The cap on the right does not bulge. Don't throw it away until you measure it with an ESR meter, it can be a good one.

      It's a Sacon FZ.
      Those are beyond just junk, they are dangerous.
      Been known to blow so hard they eject their contents.
      .
      If those other three are FZ they should be replaced too.

        I didn't tell you that I first replaced three Sacons in really bad shape, nothing changed..
        Only after I replaced the other two Sacons that weren't bulged the card came back alive..

            If you can, you might want to try getting RS components or doing export.Farnell.com..or something along those lines. A higher quality replacement might be beneficial to you...and it might attribute to better stability with the card. But, if this is all yo have, fine.

            The other FZ has got to go since you've already had 2 die, the others are bound to burst soon too.
