Broken but still works

I have a colourful 1660 that I bought from China a few days ago but after I opened the package I noticed the four big diodes at the back have peeled off, this is not a brand new gpu though but to my surprise the graphic card still works, I fired up Trex miner and this bad boy is doing 23MH per second, but I want to know what this work of these four diodes are, I feel this GPU should be doing 25-27MH cos it has hynix but I have seen others saying some Hynix are always at 22-23MH.

Read what diodes are for on motherboards. I have seen many interesting situations, I even saw a video card with a hole in the video chip, which continues to mine perfectly.
Take the video card to the workshop so that you can solder new diodes in place of the old ones.

You will have a problem gaming on that graphic card, have you try some benchmarking tool on PC? I bet you aren't using the whole gpu power without those diodes on the back, if you can't solder them back get to a repairer centre near you they will help you solder them back on.

Well I guess if it still works it must not be important. Why did they put it there in the first place? Lol.
Either way. I had an old Gigabyte Radeon 7970 GPU that blew some capacitors. Sent it into repair by Gigabyte and assumed they would solder new ones on. Guess what came back?
Basically they just desoldered all those caps and sent it back. Ran perfectly fine without them.

Every parts have it's functionality I am surprised this graphic card works with some parts missing lol, since the card is working well just keep mining mate you have no problem, I used to own a HD6970 for gaming in 2008 that have few resistors missing, I was careless at the time moving my things around but this graphic card still works very well.

I found out that it's not that important, I grabbed a gtx 1660 that's not a colourful brand and removed the same diodes at the back and this GPU works as well, lol very funny 😄, I hope my curiosity won't land me in problem someday, I have resoldered the diodes and keep mining anyways.
