Re: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon Dented Cap Question

What is a reasonable overclock value for i7 6700k to support with good air cooling so that I can understand if my capacitor is working or not?

I know, thats my worst regret... I thought they would do a more prof. cable management than me, I overestimated their professionalism a lot...

Re: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon Dented Cap Question

If the pcshop declines to replace the motherboard, which capacitor should I buy (brand and specifications) to get it replaced by a professional. I am newbie on this topic and highly frustrated by the situation. I cant use my new computer because the dent makes me uneasy. I wont be able to see the cap if i install the cpu cooler and start to use the pc. Any help is highly appreciated and thanks a lot!

Hello, I just received my new custom pc. I wanted to replace the stock cooler but just realised that one of the capacitors under the cpu cooler (second from the top) has a dent on the top corner.

My motherboard is z170a msi gaming pro carbon. The dent is either factory defect or happened at the pcshop which buildt my desktop pc.

Will this kind of dent can effect cpu overclock performance (i7 6700k) or the lifespan of the capacitor?

How can I understand if the cap is functioning or not? For now computer can operate normally but can things change if i OC? Should...
