Quark fried, blown capacitor...

That's really my motivation for adding the caps. Cooler running and less stress.

They didn't come in today. I was hoping that they would, as my Quark came in today and I threw it into my 8ight truck. I also bought a small sheet of copper from my LHS. When the caps get here, I'm going to get on making my add on cap bank; after I pack some up for shipping that is.

zero, I wonder if your Quark will be up to snuff after adding more caps, in spite of one of the internal caps having blown.

I sent mine off to S&T, they said they would just replace it, no questions. The electrolyte would have damaged the board, as well as when there are no caps, there would have been damage done to the board.

I have a really good plan for a custom Quark case, I just need the distance from bottom FET surface to top FET surface. It will be about 1cm wider than the stock case though.

It will not need adhesive either, just regular thermal compound, which is nice.
