Dead eVGA 7600GT
This isn’t a big deal at all, but I have a three year old eVGA 7600GT video card that just died a couple nights ago. It appears to have been due to a failure of all six FZ73 1500 6.3V capacitors that lived on the board, after they failed, the voltage regulator failed. This of course means you get the magic smoke and the hardware stops working. I really wish these chinese capacitor vendors would get their shit together, capacitors are something that should last for years.
