Re: Help with capacitor for Asus Radeon 6870

Thank you momaka for the information. I had looked at images of many Asus graphics cards on the web and saw that logo often so am not surprised that you say Asus uses them a lot.

I have gone ahead and ordered the capacitor I linked to above as it is the closest I can find taking all the specs into consideration. Thanks again for the info.

Re: Help with capacitor for graphics card

PeteS in CA, thanks for the quick reply. I thought the circular thing a brand logo as well. I'm going to do more looking and take some measurements then post back here on what I find. Thanks for the help.

Hello, second post here and as many do I'm seeking help in reading markings on a capacitor to replace it on a graphics card, an Asus Radeon 6870. I'll just say I had an accident and knocked off a capacitor between the card's rear bracket and the heatsink; the location is marked PCE104.

Anyway, on the capacitor which you can see others in the image it says 5KR43, 270, 16V. I understand the 270 to be the capacitance and the 16V obviously the voltage; but I don't know if the 5KR43 numbers and letters each have meaning or is simply the number of the manufacturer's series.

Hello all, I've been building my own computers since 1998 but not much to tell on the repair front until now when thanks to hands that shake a bit I had an accident with a capacitor which brought me here. Never heard of the site until I went looking for said capacitor replacement and I have to say I'm very impressed with both the topics and knowledge here.
