    How to Identify failing or bad MOSFET's?

    I was looking over my Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW and some of the MOSFET's near the CPU and the bad capacitors look discolored. Almost like the plastic heated a bit or someone rubbed a black marker on the top of them. They aren't burnt thru or anything, but I am curious.

    I actually replaced this board with the GA-7DPXDW-P thinking maybe it was the Power supply I had at the time, or they had improved the board with different brand capacitors. No such luck thou, and now it's in the shop.

    Hopefully the -P MOSFET's are ok, and is it just me or does MOSFET sound Russian?
