I guess. By the way X-CON polymers were somewhat omited though they are of the best…Less jewellery, more gold into electrotech industry!

Re: EVGA GTX 460 - Bad Caps
hi everyone
first of all : i'm not good at electronics :XD
yesterday i was playing in "nier automata" for a long time and i heard an explosion and the PC restart
it seems to work fine but when i clic on a video or a game it shutdown
i found that my GTX460 was the problem
i dissassembly it and found that 5KQ12/270/16V capacitor exploded
is that cap the only damaged one ? cuz it seems to work fine until i clic on a video
can i replace it with a 330/16V or 180/16V ?
any idea would be apreciated ^___^ !Comment

Re: EVGA GTX 460 - Bad Caps
The 330 uF, 16V should do, as long as it is a POLYMER capacitor.Comment

Re: EVGA GTX 460 - Bad Caps
What reached 73C?
The capacitor or the GPU?"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

Re: EVGA GTX 460 - Bad Caps
nah the temperature is normal for that gpu. the gtx460 is a mid-high end gpu plus the stock cooler on the evga is crap if its the single fan stock cooler. lots of failed single fan evga gtx460 cards on ebay so no surprises there. btw caps dont explode for a reason. make sure your psu has sufficient wattage to power the power-hungry gtx460 and make sure its not a junk no-name brand psu!Comment

Re: EVGA GTX 460 - Bad Caps
@Per Hansson
the GPU
@ChaosLegionnaire
i have a good PSU with 650W
and my GTX460 is not evga it's AZUS
"caps dont explode for a reason"
does this means that cap is the only one damaged ???
the card is working fine now
but i'm worried about a future explosion >w< !Comment

Re: EVGA GTX 460 - Bad Caps
Ouch.
While ChaosLegionnaire is correct that those GeForce GTX 4x0 and 5x0 cards run very hot, you should still try to keep yours as cool as possible. Try using a program like RivaTuner or MSI Afterburner to turn up the GPU's fans, especially when playing games (might want to put the fan at 100% on very demanding games).
Yes, probably. When polymer caps go bad, they typically go just like you saw. So no need to worry now that you replaced that cap. If there are anymore to go, they will go, and there's nothing you can do about it. Just use it and see. Most likely, the rest of the caps will be fine.Comment

I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)
So, here is the... -
I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

Hello!
I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.
The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.
I have studied the board and... -
I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
