    Is this MSI known for bad cpas?

    MSI motherboard on Ebay

    They are pretty darn cheap and I just got one.
    Has anyone had troubles with badcaps on this board?

    well you bought it already? looks like rubycon on vcore in the pic but might not be the same on the board.

    these would be nice, from the same seller. maybe a few HN on them though? or might be lucky.

      Yeah, I bought it already.
      Mr. Moneybags just couldn't hold off another year without his beloved copy of photoshop and Visual studio.

      We'll see what it's really like when it arrives but if it does have some nasty brands then at least we know the drill.
      I can't believe how hard it i to find 478 boards with sdram and more than three pci slots these days. it's usually many pci slots with ddr or sdram with few pci slots.

        cant expect too much for cheap boards. anyway a recapping is good in cost/value.

        who is mr moneybags?

                  I'm fine with that as long as you don't start having the boards recapped in china.

                      Exactly. I also find their QC is pretty bad.
                      There is a thread around here showing the quality of fake batteries however not all of them are made there.

                        quality would be better one fat assed western companies stop taking the lion share of the profits. still the quality is going to vary cos a lot of stuff is handmade. but anyway whats european/us quality like these days....pretty shit also is what i am saying......cheap you want cheap you get.

                          That's a good point.
                          Why didn't I think of that?

                            Well, blindly bought cheap, shure is usually bad quality. But in the IT busines, i would say that the price is not realy based on real manufacturing cost, as on that what people are willing to pay.I doubth that any of those 500€ GFX cards are worth more than 43$ FOB.
                            And even high priced things turn not seldom out to be cheaped out at the max (or whatelse is a 130$ Antec PSU with Fuhijy caps?, where the whole psu is probably less than 10 -20$worth ). So best is to have some real testing people, wich are able to analyse the to used parts and circuits. And best is, to be that man by yourself, as than you can decide if soemthing is worth the bucks you have to spend on it.

                              Erm. I have seen some real gems of the motherboard world go on ebay for around the same price. We'll see how good it is when it arrives.

                                i think he was replying to me
                                that msi board certainly does not look bad. it looks to have 3 phase vrm with a nice row of output capacitors. the 845 chipset was very nice and stable and with 1 or 2gb ram it will be very useful. i dont see the need though to have a northbridge chipset fan. it would be better to replace with large passive heatsink. definitely that will be a failure point.

                                  I have some chipset heatsinks lying round from other dead boards. They should work.

                                    I've got big troubles here with an HP pro x2 612 g2

                                    When I plug the charger, nothing light up, and the tablet/laptop doesn't detect it at all, or at least no orange, white, blue or any color led beside the port. Windows doesn't detect it too.
                                    BUT
                                    If when off, I unplug the battery inside (back shell is removable with only finger nail like some smartphones) then the charger is recognized, charging port led lights up, and the pc works like this, everything is "fine".
                                    I tried carefully to plug the battery when pc already on on AC....
