Question Missing component Gigabyte Aorus 1080 Xtreme

[infine0n]

Hello, I am posting to get some insight on a possible replacement component for my GTX 1080.

There was a component knocked off of the PCB, and I need help to identify it to try to search for a replacement part. I will attach a photo of the board with the missing piece.

Thank you

See attached.

Well, it's a surface mount capacitor.

If it was marked, you could look at another card of the same make and model and get the number, but SMD caps tend not to be marked.

You could ask someone with the same card to measure it with a capacitance meter, but that is of questionable accuracy when done in circuit.

I would find another CXX one on the card nearby and measure it and take a chance at buying that value.

Techpowerup has the good habit of taking hi-res pics of reviewed cards and the Aorus 1080 Extreme is no exception.

The missing component can be found near the PCI-E connector, as highlighted bellow:

I see several similar caps on the board.
