Ok, I have a well researched problem with a Gigabyte 7VRX Rev 1.1 Motherboard and a Geforce4 ti4200. Details here

On that page, it says Gigabyte is updated older board by adding a 4.7uF capacitor. Here is a picture of GBs hack job:

So my dilemna--let's pretend I'm absolutely not gonna send it in, and it's finally decided the workarounds aren't working:

Can I buy a simple 4.7uF capacitor from Radioshack and solder it to the board?

Sure. Make sure you have a ~15 watt soldering iron though. Don't want to stick a 50 watt monster to a motherboard.

Seth's right. Just get a cheap soldering pencil and you should be set.

No problem. Don't forget to let us know if you let the white smoke out of it.

It's all good... for the first time in two years, I'm running optimized defaults!
