So I've got this motherboard from a PC I bought for cheap.
It's an Gigaqbyte GA-8I848P, and I noticed it has Nichicon HM caps in the VRM which were known for their bad batch. Also the board came with a Pentium 4 3.00GHz SL7PM Prescott HT.
However, I have read that the bad batch had stopped production in 2004.\
My question is - are 2005 HM's safe? Or should I source some Rubycon MBZ and recap it?
