3 missing components on MSI Ventus RTX 2060 6G OC
I received a GPU from a friend who seemed to have water damage. There are conflicting accounts about how it happened. One person at a repair shop claimed he deliberately put water inside, while the other said he didn’t even open the computer when he first got it. What’s more unusual is that the GPU has mold and sticky residue. There are two moldy resistors and one that leaked white liquid. The only positive aspect is that the GPU still works, but only if it isn’t under heavy stress. I won’t attempt to install it in my PC until I clean the mold and debris. Still, I need help identifying the right resistors—I’m searching everywhere but unsure what to choose. If you have any questions, let me know.
Sorry about the poor quality of these photos, but I don’t have a great camera on my phone.
It looks like only a single faulty resistor remains, as the GPU starts up but fails when under stress.
