Assistance with identifying replacement caps on ASUS P5VDZ-MX

[stj]

are there any really small electrolytics other than maybe near the audo output?

The only ones that are not around sound circuity are these ones.

You think they can cause this?

Alright everyone,

You wont believe this.

I pulled out another CPU from the collection. Number three tested on this board. The board booted right up and is currently running memtest.


I tried with so many combinations of spare hardware. I also cannot believe I have two flaky CPUs.. All of which has been bagged in a anti-static bag by me and also marked as "working".
There might be confusion if there is a BIOS update and one of these are not supported without it, ofcourse. Need to dig in to that.

Well some lesson learned on the way here at least. Thank you everyone that helped out. And at least this board got a fresh batch of capacitors

I will most certainly be back with the other non-booter board that has the bulging caps, if the caps does not help that is.

momaka, I checked the bulging ones, these are "TK". Almost half of them are bulging.
Will not do the same mistake of changing the CPU polymers this time though.
The bulging ones are the 6.3V 820UF that is spread around all over the board.


Oh also: If anyone has a recommendation of a cooler that gets rid of the original Intel "bending"-issue, i would appreciate it. No need to keep extra stress on the boards if it can be avoided.

the cooler should screw into a metal or re-inforced plastic frame on the underside - there should never be bending

omg! i just zoomed in on the cpu u inserted in the pic on your first post and it appears u inserted a pentium dual core e5200. according to the asus cpu support list for the board, the e5200 is not supported probably because it uses a 45nm wolfdale-3m core. the most powerful cpu that can be used is the conroe core 2 extreme x6800 but the bios must be updated to the 0501 version. probably the core 2 duo e6700 would be the next better option as it goes for around 13 bucks on junkbay.

since u didnt say which bios version the board is using or whether u updated the bios at all, so i would recommend to just stick with a pentium 4f or pentium 4 500 series cpu or the pentium d 800 series cpu (not pentium dual core or core 2) for the time being. it works with all bios versions available for the board.

so u dont have flaky cpus. intel cpus are very robust and hardly ever go bad. the pentium 4s are known to be the most robust as they can take a vrm short to the 12v line of the 4-pin atx 12v connector and still work after that. u just inserted an unsupported cpu into the board, that is all.

there are lga775 bolt thru kits with backplate around chinese e-commerce sites and chinese sellers. u just have to know or have the tools to remove the intel push pins from the intel cooler and replace them with the bolt thru screws. that way u wont bend it like intel and david beckham.

on the intel push pins, u will see two black plastic 90° angled stoppers, one on each opposite side of the push pin which prevents u from yanking up the black push pin past the white push pin. use a flat head screwdriver or a spudger to pry up that stopper, repeat for the opposite side. then u can yank up the black plastic push pin further past the white push pin. some push pin designs will then require u to unscrew (anti-clockwise) the black push pin from the white. then both the white and black part of the push pin will now become detached so u can remove it from the cooler. repeat this 3 more times for the other push pins on the cooler and there will be no more bending motherboards like intel and beckham.

Haha yeah, i confused myself for sure with this one. Also did the stupid thing to diagnosing two boards at the same time on the bench, the other one being a p5kpl-cm with the same socket, but different supported CPUs. In all swapping madness i must have confused them..
Funny side note, the cpu on the picture is the one that was sitting in the bag with the "working" note on it. I must have over the years yanked that cpu out, and just popped in another one to protect the socket pins or some reason like that. who knows.

Oh also, another note the P5KPL-CM with the bulging TK caps is now working.
I pulled all the 820uF and replaced with new FR and it fired right up! 6 of them was bulging and measuring somewhere in regions of 5ohms, and one was actually completely open.
That is great news in all the confusion haha!

Thanks again everyone.
