Ok, so I've seen this question asked quite a few times, but this isn't so much of a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" situation. I bought an untested RX 580, found out it had a short which I wasn't familiar with, attempted to remove a mosfet but failed with a bunch of melted SMDs, but I got it off with a less intense heat gun and it's been working* ever since. The card does work but I'd like to replace some of the caps, the cursed mosfet, and what I'm assuming are the inductors so I can try to overclock and alleviate any instability. My friend removed the bulging caps that I had inflicted damage onto, along with a few inductors. I'm no professional mind you, but I'd say I'm capable of soldering on capacitors and the inductors (correct me if the SMDs with X's on them aren't inductors). Resoldering the mosfet may pose an issue, but anyway, where can I obtain the capacitors, inductors and other SMDs unique to my card? I'd assume capacitors are possible but I'm not sure about the others. There's a lot of burnt smaller caps scattered around, but I don't plan on messing with those. It's a 4GB XFX RX 580 GTS XXX.

 

Thanks
