Poly-Modding: Does it actually work?

Inno3D 8500GT

The original Capacitors

This card is very similar to the 7300GT I poly-modded first, with the exception of the extra capacitor in the top right hand corner. However, this card still has the original Sacon FZ capacitors, and as you can see form the picture, they have all failed. After running it in my test computer after the poly-mod, I quickly discovered that the fan was making an annoying buzz, so it too will be replaced.

The replacement capacitors

Given how similar this card is to the Inno3D 7300GT, I used the same Chemi-Con PSA 820µF 2.5V replacement capacitors.
