Blown Capacitors on eVGA GeForce 7100GS. January 31, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentYep, this would be another eVGA graphic card with blown capacitors. Practically all the ones I bought during the same period suffer the same fate. I suspect the inadequate cooling system cause the problem to begin with.
The blown capacitors on this board are: FZ67, FZ69 and FZ6A.

Intel and NVIDIA settle licensing issues. January 10, 2011

Intel and NVIDIA today announced that they have signed a “comprehensive long-term patent cross licensing” agreement. Intel will pay NVIDIA 1.5 billion dollars over a six year period in licensing fees. The agreement also stipulates that NVIDIA is prohibited from making chipsets for Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors.
Is this a case of Intelectual Property limiting innovations?
Yet another NVIDIA GeForce card bites the dust. June 24, 2010
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Pictures, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentThis 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.

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.
