i'd have to say anything can happen from psu to bad mobo

ste2425 · Aug 17, 2009, 06:06 PM

one last question if a cap pops on your mobo can it take the rest of the rig with it? or will my cpu gpu etc be ok?

huge electrical spikes, fire, and liquid based burning chemicals spewing around the place... its not guaranteed to kill everything else, but its certainly possible.

corsair 450VX would match/better the amperage of your generic PSU. go have a look at newegg or whatever your E-store may be.

I fixed one but I've not bothered to find more caps to fix it with.

larrymoencurly · Sep 4, 2009, 01:22 AM

EVGA brand Nvidia FX5200 AGP card. Fry's used to frequently offer them for $0-10 after rebate, and I initially thought it was a lot better than my PNY FX5200 card, whose heatsink was relatively puny and its Sanyo capacitors half as large as the EVGA's. I also thought that the EVGA's caps were polymers because of the packaging, but that was obviously wrong. Newer versions of this card use Sam Young caps that don't blow up as much but are as small as the PNY's, whose Sanyo caps are still good.

on my Socket 754 foxconn with sempron 2800

What about the graphics card with the screaming noise when you overclock them?. My 9800GT had it before it died and my 9600GSO has it also. I know lots of users with GTX2xx that have the screaming noise also.. It's common, why is this and should we be worried?

video cards and PSU's are different.

PSU's its capacitors - usually before they start to bulge, leak, and kill everything.
On a video card its usually just an annoying sound and not a sound of impending doom.
