broken I need some help with my grafic card

[daimienb04]

I have a gtx 970 sc made by E.V.G.A. I has 2 parts that fell off, I am not sure how to find the part/ fix it. So i am reaching out to the LTT community for help. The one with the blue outline is mine

[Tech87]

Is the card not working?

Did you knock the parts off yourself?

[kelvinhall05]

Small SMD capacitor, either it's capacitor number 604 or a 604 value which is 600nf. But tbh if you needed help identifying something as relatively basic as this I wouldn't even begin to think about trying to solder one back on.

 

EDIT: And that's assuming it is indeed a 604 value and not just number 604. If it's number 604 and you can't find it to measure the value you're screwed.

 

EDIT 2: Tired and didn't realize you circled two components. The smaller one also looks like a capacitor but you certainly won't find the value of that one without physically locating it and measuring it.

The parts got knocked off and i am not sure if it works

There are miltibal of the same size capasiters on the bord (the small ones). And i lost the C604 so i am assuming i am scrued

[daimienb04]

I wonder if there is a schematic out there for the Board

Have you tested it? I'd assume these are just some small decoupling caps and the card will work fine without them.

I did find this

 

"It is a capacitor. hence the "C" next to the number. If it were a resistor, the letter would be an "R". If you could get a schematic and parts list for the board, find the indicated capacitor, and it should tell you the value and rating for the part. If you can get that capacitor, and you are any good at soldering, it should be a simple fix."

You let me know when you find a schematic for this...

Ok will do. may take a bit tho

I have looked and nothing.

 

I am going to see if i can get a multi meter from a friend and test some components

Other than that i think i am dead in the water

looking back at this coment i forget to say i am 16. Plus i am also autistic so it is hard to comprehend these types of things.

That's fine, but have you tested the card like I said? Chances are it'll either work fine or not at all. I don't think you'll damage it or anything.

I did today but nothing showed up. i did not have the 2 6pins to power it. But when i tried to install the windows 10 driver it said incompatible windows version. I have windows 10 and i was installing the windows 10 drivers so i dont know what to do.

This is why nothing displayed.

Oh ok ill try and find a power suply to work with it

I have a question. Would a Intel Core i7-4770 be ok for the 970 sc?

 Ok ty for all the help you have given btw

[thekingofmonks]

How in the hell did that happen??? Did you try de-soldering those caps?

[LOST TALE]

Is it problematic to put a bigger capacitor?

No i lost the caps a long time ago. And i got it from a friend. but wile in transport from moving houses i lost the 2 caps
