What are these? Are they broken?
- by Chris Nielsen
Please excuse the poor image quality:
What are the components that I've circled in red?
The ones on the left look whole and solid. The ones on the right have cracked tops, and although this picture doesn't show it, there are small brown threads coming out of the top. Are the cracked ones broken, or is that supposed to happen?
If they ARE broken, is this something I should worry about? This is a video card, and it appears to be fully functional: I'm using it while writing this post.
