Re: is 30w or 45 iron good for soldering caps
yeah the video card is newer it is a 7600gt so i guess that would use lead free solder. i have some old motherboards here that i can work with first
what type of solder should i use? ie brand, thickness, can you get it with rosin core?. i don't think that it says that in any of the guides unless i missed it lolLast edited by thetemp; 02-12-2008, 10:52 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: is 30w or 45 iron good for soldering caps
thanks for the quick reply there is a store here in town that has a 60w for 12.99 i just wasn't sure if that would heat things up to much and damage the board or capLeave a comment:

Re: bad cap on 7600gt
thanks for the info guys as i do not know alot about capacitors i think i am going to go with the panasonic fms they are twice as tall as the current caps but the 7600's are the only 2 cards i am running on this system.Leave a comment:

Re: bad cap on 7600gt
is it ok to mix polymers with aluminium capacitors? and replace the 1500uf 6.3v with 560uf-820uf 4v
and i meant soldering iron not gun, my bad i will have to get a tip that small
you guys are great with responding as well i wish other forums were this helpfulLeave a comment:

Re: bad cap on 7600gt
so a polymer cap wouldn't hurt anything and a 560uf - 820 uf 4v would work just as good? and if i go with the polymer would i have to replace the aluminum capacitors? or will they work mixed together.
sorry so many questions i know nothing about capacitors and i have been researching for about 3 days now and i am still confused....Leave a comment:

bad cap on 7600gt
i have a bad cap on one of my 7600gt's and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what brand it was i am pretty sure it is an Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor the numbers on the top say fz69 1500 6.3v i am assuming that the 1500 is 1500uf is that right. and what would be a good replacment cap?
should i replace all of them? none of the other ones look bad.
thank you for your help
