TI 4200 Leaking...

[l3um]

Hey just the other day my picture just went out and I checked my card. Turns out one of the capacitors was leaking and I had to RMA it back to Newegg...I wanted to know if this is normal? Its the middle of winter and the heater is turned to 70 degrees, or room temp. I leave my comp on all day is that good? Is it normal for a capacitor to start leaking all of a sudden? My system temperature was about 30 some degrees celcius. This is very unusual.

How can my feet smell if it doesn't have a nose?

You´re right, this is VERY unusual. I´ve never heard of this happening before, and alot of people have their computers on all the time. Maybe the card just had somekind of a manufacturing-fault?
