Default Leaked caps on my old ATI Radeon 4870 video card?

I wonder if this is why my old ATI Radeon 4870 video card is hot and
crashing in some computer games.


Maybe there is a leaky electrolytic capacitor in there. Back in the day,
there were alot of them, from one company, that infected even major
brand motherboards. You can see that the top of the cap is swollen.

To avoid such things, look for products with Japanese capacitors.

The company had stolen a formula for capacitors, but it was incomplete.
