Hello guys!
I have an EVGA Geforce Titan X (Maxwell) with suspected bad caps. The card boots fine into BIOS and Safe Mode, as well as regular Windows without drivers (VGA mode). As soon as the drivers kick in the PC blue screens (actually black screen, but no display output during the blue screen). Also, I get a small number of artifacts in VGA mode in any resolution higher than 640x480 but none at that resolution.
I've attempted to downclock the card by doing a card bios flash through nvflash as well as trying a stock bios flash, no results. Thermal paste and pads are in order, other than that no hardware fixes have been attempted. Card is not shorting to backplate either, tested without backplate with same results.
The caps pictured are very suspect and seem to have bulged, assuming caps on the board are Lelon. From a different thread I surmise that the caps might be bad and should be replaced, and they did not speak too fondly about Lelon caps in this thread. ( https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24377 ).
Caps read: F5 OCRZ 270 16v
Thinking of ordering these to replace them, as they were suggested as a replacement in the thread I linked before.

Can anyone think of anything else to look out for before I replace the caps? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
