what could happen if i continue to use it with the crushed caps?? fire??

thx

Not fire but they could explode if they're liquid caps. Solid caps it'll probably just blow a fuse or brick the board when u turn it on.

Good luck man, this is the most tech of all tech problems; soldering something to you board.

If your not down for doing it yourself take it to a electronics store that sells the capacitors in your area and I am sure someone there would be willing to help you out too.

That is a bad situation I hope you get it working with out much trouble.

He has 4 capacitors damaged if you look closer you will see the other two one on each side that have nicks in them, so better make sure to replace them. I would just RMA the board if it still has warranty.

[gingerbee]

yes he has and clearly it is ok cause you were running it before were you not ???? and if so then it was clearly working

[maverick_brent]

I personally think that you should not RMA the board, I think it will be a complete waste of time as the manufacturer will see the "physical" damage and deny under warranty, they may replace while charging you a shit ton in warranty and labour...IMHO.

it was running perfectly right up until is dismantled it for mods.

i'm just gonna rotate the H100 upon reinstall and run it.

i will shut it down when not in use.

i have three fire extinguishers within reach in the command centre just in case.

thx guys for all the info.

You cannot RMA something YOU physically damaged. People wonder why companies are getting strict with RMA's and this is why. If you broke it suck it up. If it fails while in proper use then RMA it.

[gingerbee]

no if it was running your fine the damage was there well running so i guess the bent caps wont matter they didn't before so why would they now and ya if you can just rotate it so this doesn't happen then bingo your good to go

edit ^^^^ amen to that if i break it oh well guess i should have done that lmao

[bananax]

ouch, that does look painful :S
