Yes, it was bad (cracked) capacitors. I was thinking that the GPU
temp was correlated to the capacitors cracking (and correlated to the
heat inside the case).
How would I go about checking the case temp? This is what I get with
sensors. Based on some of the readings, I don't think the
it8712-isa-0290 is accurate.
