Question GPU Capacitor Bent

[dasmattic]

Hello, thanks for reading. I deshrouded my gpu today. One of the fan cables was difficult to pull out of the card once it was removed from the header, and it required that I pass it through a narrow opening. Unfortunately, in doing so I accidentally bent one of the capacitors on the gpu. I heard a bit of a crack when it happened. The capacitor was not bent too terribly, and I re-centered it. It still is sitting pretty firmly on the card. If I gently push on it though, it does have a little give.

Could someone help me determine how to proceed with this. This is a first-time build for me, and I feel a bit lost on what to do. Is it safe to finish my build and see how things go? If so, is there a test that I can do to see what, if any, damage exists? Should I take this in somewhere? Thank you for any help with this.

The gpu is a 4090 Gigabyte Gaming OC. Photo links below.

That looks like a surface mount capacitor. You probably broke one of the solder joints or tore a pad. Hopefully just a solder joints.

You should very gently rock it a gnats butthair back and forth. While looking at each foot for movement or gaps with a magnifying glass. Also listen for a faint clicking

If it looks fine. Cross your fingers and try it. I’ve never known a bad call to do more that prevent a board from working. If it doesn’t work or has bad stability issues. You’ll need someone to solder on a new capacitor. Possibly rebuild the pads.
