Soyo SY-P4VTE board Caps

[billse]

How are the caps on this board.

3 - 470uf 16V 8mm G-LUXON

OST
8 - 1000uf 10V 8mm RLS
5 - 1500uf 16V 10mm RLX
8 - 3300uf 6.3V 10mm RLX

All the caps are silver in colour, and seems fine, got the board along with a celeron bundle in Aug 2005.

Gonna spend a lot of time recapping or destroying some abit AB-ZM6 boards with visible badcaps i got to take home from work.

Regards,


Bill

Re: Soyo SY-P4VTE board Caps

How old is the board? Do you know its history? None of those caps are good, so if you value your data and components, you might want to make that board a priority. If you're just learning to solder or recap, the ZM6's should be good boards to practice on until you're proficient. Topcat, Digikey, or Mouser should all have readily-available replacement parts for this board as well as the ZM6's.

If the board does not have any stability problems, I'd leave it as is. But in case of any problems, look at the caps

AKOR, i answered your question for the abit zm6 board in the other section, and i guess i'll leave the soyo the way it is, currently it isn't being used much just sitting there until i get a proper ventilated case, backordered...

Plus, reviews of Soyo and some other forums say's this board isn't very good and the sata doesn't work, Soyo support for the most part they comment is a "joke".
