Cool, thanks, just trying to find it now in UK.

Re: Identifying a GPU capacitor...
The smaller one you linked has a much higher ESR and a much smaller ripple.
Based upon what yyonline said, how important is it?
I am trying to source one with the right rating and the right size if possible although the larger size is an option. How confident can I be that the through-hole for a larger cap is actually for that cap and not on another circuit?
By the way, you people are fantastic, thanks....Leave a comment:

Re: Identifying a GPU capacitor...
I've measured the cap as best I could (I can't find my micrometer).
It is 8.5mm tall with a diameter of a touch over 6mm. I haven't been able to remove the card yet to see if there are others of the same spec on the PCB.
When you say remove another cap and measure it, I assume you mean measure it with a multimeter to determine its' value?Leave a comment:

Re: Identifying a GPU capacitor...
Thanks for the feedback, I'll measure it up when I get home and post back.
So is it a polymer aluminium cap? Any idea of manufacturer? Definately a 100uF 16v?
The only reason I ask for confirmation is that I have seen some manufacturers shift the decimal place on the rating e.g. 10 = 100uF, 100 = 1000 uF etc.
Sourcing one and replacing it (assuming I need to) in the UK will be straight forward. It is the identification that is tricky.Leave a comment:

Identifying a GPU capacitor...
Hi,
Due to fat fingers, I pulled a cap from an HIS Radeon 5770 GPU.
The graphics card still works fine, no artifacts or glitches under full load using Furmark.
I need some advice...
1. Should I replace it at all?
2. If I don't replace it, what kind of symptoms should I watch out for?
3. Can anyone help me identify the specification of the capacitor?
Graphics card as it comes before fat fingers attack...
