  • SciLabs GeForce 4 MX 440 with bad caps

    A few years ago I purchased a GeForce 4 and have been using it for quite a while with it overclocked, no problems. It had run fault free until I put it into my newest PC, where I believe that a hot motherboard (due to poor contact between the CPU and its heatsink - the CPU fan had to run at 5500+ rpm to keep it at 60 deg. C) contributed to the failure of 2 capacitors on my video card. At first they were slightly bulged and the card continued to run as per usual, but then problems started occurring so I opened up my case and one of the Rifeking capacitors (6.3 V, 1500 uf) had significantly leaked...

  • Jetway PMFU533 with GSC caps

    I just retired a 2 and a bit year old Jetway PMFU533 with GSC caps on it due to it being massively unstable.

    Bad:

    T2NG 6.3v 1500uf (purple w/gold)

    Good:
    T2DA 10v 1000uf...
