Anyone know, where to buy them? Europe preffered, as I'm from it...
The story go like this. Im fanless maniac. I also like to OC a little Recently I have some stability problemy on clocks, where things worked well before. And I just realized what my problems was - the caps blown with loud explosion on my mobo, so now Im in process looking for 1500uF 16V low ESR caps.
I also found out, that the caps are made by Chemi-con and their type KZG aren't even optimal for mobos! KZG versions are low ESR/impedance ones, correct ( - compare to - ) yet they did not handle well impulse currents. Okay, they even claim "Super low ESR/impedance", but the sheet did not show any values.
Now check this out - they also made considerably more pricely LXY/LXZ versions of caps, specificaly engineered for long-live with impulse currents AND low ESR as well, as the KZG ones has!
Sure, they cost 250% of the KZG line, so DFI use the cost-optimized version and the results are that after 1,5 years they explode...
Not to mean the time degradation - now is pretty clear for me, why 2700Mhz was not a problem at start, yet recently it was complete lock-up. 2600Mhz was stable last winter, yet not this winter and the list could go so on and so far - no wonder, there are 6 (!) 100uF caps missing only in the PCI section a rather large cap close to the 12V support is missing too (that's wher the two ones that died was) and the 4 caps close to the main PSU connection are nowhere near to be found as well - not to mention what is missing into the CPU socket and close to the ram voltage regulators...
So much for DFI.
So, anyone know, where to get quality stuff?
