I built a new system in July. 95% of the parts came from Newegg, including a Gainward Ti4200. I remember everything came on July 4th weekend. When I pulled the card out of the bubble wrap to my horror a capacitor fell out on the floor! I immediately got an RMA from Newegg in about two weeks turn around. I haven’t had any problems with the replacement card and I’ve had it overclocked most of the time. Maybe the problem is with the connection and not necessarily the capacitor itself?
