Yet another NVIDIA GeForce card bites the dust.

This is the second EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 7600 graphics card I’ve seen having blown capacitors. Well, the mystery was solved a while back. Both cards had failing cooling fan; thus it overheated and goes kaput. This particular one actually is a little bit burned. Well, see it for yourself.

This card might be a 7600 GS model with FZ74 capacitors.

Anyway, it is apparent that the heatsink fan is not that good and prone to failure.

I’ll post more pictures later.

NVIDIA Graphics Card: Blown Capacitors.

I have an EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 7600 graphics card that had some problems. Upon closer inspections I noticed three blown capacitors in addition to a non-functioning heatsink fan.

The blown capacitors are two FZ71 and one FZ73.

Not really sure if the malfunctioning heatsink fan had something to do with the blown capacitors.
