    Broken capacitor and the PCIE line on RTX 3090 FE

    Hello,
    I have a RTX 3090 Founders Edition and it's detected as PCIE X4 instead of X16
    I took a look to the PCB and found that a capacitor, wich is linked to and the PCIE fingers lines, is broken. I count and it's on the 32 position (exactely the end of the PCIEX4)
    Anyone knows this capacitor specification? I see some other models boardview and seems to be linked to the ground
    Can I just solder the trace between them with no capacitor or it's risky?
    Thanks

    They are usually 220nF caps. And they are necessary, no bridging allowed, CPU or GPU may suffer if cap is shorted.

      Hello, thank you for the response.
      Ok I will try to solder a new one, but how can I be sure that is a 220nF? and how to know the voltage if it's a 10 or 16v or other? Do you have the boardView of this GC please ?
