Re: Geforce 8600GT card with blown caps
I'm finding a new use for these old cards: server video cards.
My latest is a 7600GT with every cap popped.
Replaced all with Rubycon, and removed the dead screamer fan.
Arctic Silver V on the heat sink, and a PCI slot fan cooler works well.
I use the Scythe Slot Rafter with 2x80mm 2-ball fans for longevity.
The card in the photo above is somewhat of a rarity.. the TV out is Component Video, and not just S-Video. Just the ticket for an old TV without HDMI inputs.
