Hey!

I recently bough Msi gaming 5 mb. When i took the mb out of the box i noticed this small yellow bent cap.
As i understand it has to do with onboard audio or something.
What could be the signs of malfunctioning audio cap?

Now, should i try to bend it back to straight or leave it alone like that? I mean it wont cause any future problem because of that?

On these pics you can see the cap at the end of third row( smaller one):

Ty for response!
 
If there are no sound issues all is fine. This slight bent should be no problem. It seems to still have proper connection.
 
It's probably not bent just wasn't fully seated when it was soldered to the board. Trying to straighten it up could possibly cause some damage so just leave it be.
 
Leave it alone. Its fine.  Many caps are crooked because they have only their wires to hold them up. It's normal to see this.
