Seems that the yellow caps are bulg . The guy hs a generic 450W psu ...but 6600gt doesnt need "the power". No overclock .

Fujitsu, not Fuitsu. These Fujitsu polymers are common on many boards. Bulging in the VRM section, they can cause problems. They usually don't cause problems elsewhere. (I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with 2 of these bulging in the IDE section, and it still is stable)

That stinks, not going to fix anybody's MSI stuff with badcaps if not bought in USA.
