Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors under chipsets??
Hello Everyone,
I'm starting to notice something on certain motherboards. Why is it only motherboards that use VIA and SiS chipsets have Multilayer ceramic caps on the other side of the motherboard PCB.... odd thing is that they are directly underneath the Northbridge and southbridge. I have never ever seen an Intel Chipset motherboard with MLCCs on the other side of the chipsets. I have no idea about nvidia chipsets, but i'd really like to know if there are MLCCs on the other side of nvidia chipsets.... I'm planning to buy an nvidia nforce 4 chipset based motherboard and I want to know if they have MLCCs on the other side of them?? Why do those chipsets need MLCCs on the other side?? Multilayer Ceramic caps are a real pain for me because they can sometimes break off if I accidentally put the board against a table and slide it over etc. Then i have to solder them back on which is an even harder job. Thanks.
