Re: bad cap on 7600gt

Just wanted to follow up in case anyone has similar problems.

Shortly after my first post I bought a set of Rubycon MBZ 1500uF 6.3v Low-ESR capacitors 105C 10mm and a set of Panasonic FM 470uF 16v Low-ESR capacitors 105C 8mm. $8 shipped from eBay.

Installation was no problem. I replaced all of the caps except the one in the upper right of my first picture (1000uF, 16V) in about 1.5 hours and my video card has been running smoothly for a few weeks now. I'll wait to see if the 1000uF blows out or the new ones meet the same fate....

Awesome, thanks for your help!...

Re: bad cap on 7600gt



I assume you're recommending sticking with the same 1500uf and 6.3V if I go with the Panasonic FMs. I can't seem to find a Panasonic FM that would be the right size. I need something close to 9.5mm diameter x 12mm height.

What about the Rubycons offered here (6.3V, 1500uf, and 10mm diameter x ?mm) ?

Thanks!...

Re: bad cap on 7600gt

Just had the same problem with an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GT. 5 of 6 caps labeled with "FZ6C 1500 6.3V" blew with a loud pop. Computer would boot but screen would go black after a certain point in the boot sequence.

Pics:


Good cap is circled below and has the same label as the others.


Can anyone recommend a part number that would be the best match for these capacitors? I'd like to swap these out ASAP.

Funny thing is I just did a cap swap on my Polaroid TV (see: [url]http://www.fixya.com/support/r741402-polaroid_flm_373b_lcd_tv_black_screen[/url]...
