I bought my 1060ssc 6gb 6 months ago.
 
Today my cat spilled some coffe inside my computer while it was on. 
 
One capacitor of the video card seems to be burned.
 
The question is, there is any way to get another one to replace it or i must buy another one? 
 
 
 
 
Is there any risk of burning other components if i keep trying the video card on my pc? I was thinking of cleaning it very well and then try it again before replacing the capacitor.
 
Thank you very much

    The card may/may not work without it. I wouldn't run the gpu without it being replaced as it most likely will cause other things to go wrong on the card.

    That looks like Q37 probably part of the voltage regulation. I'd say the GPU is toast.

    As you said, is the Q37 capacitor.

    Seems like i have to buy another one :(

    Well, it it was just a capacitor, you might be able to replace it and have it still function normally. However, it's a regulator IC for voltage. Once you blow one of those up, there's not anything you can do.

    That isn't a capacitor.  It doesn't look anything like a capacitor.  And the component identifier starts with the letter Q ... which is simply never a capacitor.
     
    Toast.  Buy a different video card.
