i recently got an evga 6600 gt agp doom 3 edition off ebay. was initially apprehensive about it as i was afraid of getting the dreaded sacon fz caps on my card. but all turned out well and there were no dreaded fz caps.
however, i identified two skywell uni-con SEL 330uF 16V poly caps on my video card. they are the dark blue sleeve caps. one is at the top of the card near the video ram while the other is at the bottom of the card near the right side of the agp connector.
the list of bad cap manufacturers actually list skywell as a bad cap brand! but im wondering if that only applies to their wet electrolytic caps and not their poly caps? there are some manufacturers who made bad wet caps but their poly caps were fine.
so im asking if anyone had seen any skywell uni-con SEL poly caps fail on them? can i safely ignore the warning about not ignoring bad caps? lol...
dont want a blown up antique agp video card...
