I would NOT recommend this. The GPU will probably still work even though it's missing a few capacitors, but it won't work correctly. You could destroy some other components on the board by running it, or you could possibly even destroy something outside the card itself like your motherboard. Your best bet it to tell EVGA what happened and let them send you a new one. I'm pretty sure EVGA support is top notch.

EDIT: I should mention that you could repair it and it wouldn't be that difficult if you have a soldering iron but you would void your warranty in the process.

ETF2L is specific to TF2 which means it was founded by and is run by people who currently play, or have played, Team Fortress 2. With this in mind I don't understand why they can't just bend the rules a bit and let the teams find an actual date to play(even if that date might be after the new year).

TF2 players created this league so TF2 players could play TF2, so please let them do so.

The distance between the center dot and the outer bars cycles back and forth when you have the crosshair menu open. Just wait for the preview to get to the size you want then hit ok.

You would need an adapter to use the mic on a computer, but the new steelseries flux is a legitimate excellent choice for 50 dollars. (review)

Also, what kind of headphones do you have now?

If I have my fps uncapped my game always feels choppy once I start hitting 150/200 fps or higher. I know it sounds counter intuitive but try setting your fps cap to 132.
