    that is not a capacitor but is either a resistor or a wire wound choke but can't tell for certain as can't see the side. if a resistor then does get hot so don't worry about it.

    clean out the heatsink fan assembly as you have lots of dust there that will cause heat problems to gpu.

    Just curious as to what the "Remove Protective Film Before..." says behind the glare on the first pic? If this film is covering the inlet on the heatsink/fan then you could have a big problem there!
