    BFG 5700LE AGP Video Card

    I just bought (via Internet) and installed said video card. The vendor picture didn't show them, but when I got it, I saw all these green and gold capacitors and I thought "Oh, no!" Yep, it has seven 1000µf, 6.3v Teapos on it. If this thing ever gives me any grief, guess what I will check first. BFG provides a lifetime warranty, but recapping would be cheaper than shipping it to them for repair.

    Be glad they're Teapo. Teapo usually don't fail as nastily as others.
    The great capacitor showdown!

          most of the bad teapo's i have seen were not bulging.they were open.
          i found a few bulging in some ibm thin clients but most were just completely open.or at least over 99 ohms esr .thats all the higher the dse tester goes.

            Seen several bfg 5200 cards with blown teapo's. I used alot of Gainward TI4200 cards, seeing them come back now with blown Teapo's.
