A couple of questions about this card:
1. This version of the Riva 128 is the one where STB just slapped a MOSFET heatsink on the main chip and called it done. I removed that atrocity and put a fairly wide but thin heatsink for a Raspberry Pi on it. I just want to make sure that its sufficient. Pics are attached below.
2. The caps (3 16v/220uf and 12 16v/10 uf) are not any brand I recognized. They're marked "T.I" and a search doesn't bring up anything. Do you guys recommend replacing them? I bought some Rubycon YXF for the larger value caps and Nichicon SA for the smaller ones.
