After being affected by the issue of bad caps in the last few weeks, myself, and after going through the numerous post here looking for in-depth info, I realized that there was a section missing, namely 'Good motherboards with good capacitors'.
I am sure there are more people out there, just like me who want to upgrade soon with the latest gear, but still wonder which mo/bo has the better caps on the market. Not to say that it should be the main criteria for choosing a mo/bo, but it certainly would prepare future owners for any problems to come in the future.
You can read about a billion reviews every months, but not one single review actually mentions the issue this website deals with.
This kind of question has been raised on a case by case basis in these forums, but not as a separate thread or section. The information could be gathered in the form of a collective query in places such as other hardware review forums. And there are a few out there that seem very dedicated to pc hardware (HARDocp.com for instance).
The reason being that most people reviewing pc hardware are hardly likely to mention this issue in their reviews, as they wouldn't want to be blacklisted by hardware manufacturers for actually tarnishing their reputations, which this shouldn't be about.
Just like some other people here, I have decided not to buy Epox boards any more until I hear they are using better caps on their motherboards.
Not to say that my epox product hasn't performed well, but rather because of their ignoring of the hardware issues that is clearly related to their products.
Please, do not consider this a bad criticism, for I have I obtained a tremendous amount of advice from the these forums.
Take care.
