    8800gt with a bad capacitor.

    Hello,

    I have what appears to be a bad capacitor on the graphics card. Looks like a piece of rubber (atleast I think it's rubber) that blew through the bottom. I hope you can see it more clearly on the pic.

    From what i've read that particular capacitor isn't crucial.
    "The one and only generic electrolytic capacitor! We found this lone ranger cleaning up the 12V supply where other manufacturers would have left a blank spot."

    So my question, is it safe to simply leave the cap there or should I remove it ?

    Thanks.

      If it blew it means it was doing something. Without it, the card may get unstable in some situations. I would replace it with a better quality cap.

          The only remaining question is who made the thing and its series. If we knew that, the parametrics of the capacitor can be obtained from its datasheet and a suitable high quality non-generic japanese manufactured capacitor installed in it's place. 220uf @16v is a dead common value, should be easy to locate.

              Besides the capacitance and voltage all I can read from it is that it's manufactured by Rifeking, it says it's low ESR and that it's rated at 105 C.

                  by Prolog
                  Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

                  I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

                  I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
                  (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

                  I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

                  Zotac 1070 mini blew off a capacitor
                  by vionescu
                  Hi, last night my zotac 1070 mini blew off a capacitor. I've had a look and identified it to be C336 capacitor and maybe the R005 resistor. Does anyone have any idea what kind of replacement capacitor I need to get to fix it or any boardview schematics for the card?...

                  Spot welder capacitor blew up
                  by shanedev93
                  Spot welder capacitor blew up should just replacing them fix it? The board is very dirty gonna remove it and clean it an see if I notice anything wrong that could cause this issue.

                  If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                  by chth96
                  I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                  Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                  It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                  So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                  I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

                  How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
                  by chth96
                  I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
                  I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

                  And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
                  I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...
