Re: GTX 980 ti missing 2 caps...

Do you think it would be beneficial for me to attempt to power the board outside of my PC to test for voltage readings on the board? If this is a good idea does anyone you know where I could find information on what values or voltages I should be seeing at different components?

This post was supposed to be much longer butt my phone keeps saying that the token has expired I'm guessing I'm taking too long to post so I'm going to keep it short. I already Trace down a similar circuit on the board and lifted one of the capacitors to test if it was indeed even a capacitor I don't believe my digital multi-meter is capable of giving me a capacitance reading. Do you think I would be safe too Salvage a similar-sized surface mounted capacitor off of an old video card I have laying around and use that?

Model #GMGX98TN3H6GM-KTM by PNY if it helps

Well I bought this card on Craigslist and I guess I should have looked at it a little closer like with a magnifying glass LOL. Anyways thinking it was good to go in installed it in my PC only to find I had no video output (fan and lights work fine). After messing about with bios and drivers for 20 minutes and not getting my PC to acknowledge the card in any way I decided I better pull it and give it a good once over and to my dismay I found 2 small components (I believe they are capacitors) have been ripped off the the pcb! They are located directly behind the ram specifically module 7 & 8...
