Leaked caps on my old ATI Radeon 4870 video card?
http://imgur.com/a/HxFJs
I wonder if this is why my old ATI Radeon 4870 video card is hot and crashing in some computer games. What do you think?

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. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

You can see that the top of the cap is swollen. To avoid such things, look for products with Japanese capacitors. It's hard to see the caps on them. Anyways, in the current setup, there are no other electronics above this video card's stickers area. Just a 80mm case fan. Maybe in the past, they did. I rarely look at my computer internals, so I don't remember if the stickers had the colorings before. -- Quote of the Week: "When I am at my lowest, that is when I see things the clearest.
