My computer died a while back when my watercooling system exploded, and out of curiosity (and to score a perfecty good 80mm fan) I opened it up. Upon doing so, I found yellow goop covering my capacitors and a few of my inductors (which I believe are the torus thingies). Whoa.
I don't think the capacitors blew, because they don't bulge out or anything... they look perfectly healthy. However, the material in my inductors is also yellow.
Of course, I'm thinking my inductors melted. Does this happen?
Thanks.
