Help Picking the right replacement caps
I have a Gigabyte GA-7VT600-L (Rev 1.0) mobo. Within the last two weeks the system has crashed due to disk corruption. I reloaded the OS and I thought that the PSU may be causing problems so I put in a new one I had laying around (X-Connect 500) I know it's not the best PSU, but not the worst either.
Anyway, after getting the system up. Everything acts normal when the system is not under load. As soon as you start a game the system will either freeze up or reboot itself. I took everything out of the case and blew out all of the connections with a can of air. I also ran memtest + and I am not showing any errors with the RAM.
Yesterday I was talking to some friends and they said to check the caps. I have several on the mobo that are bulging on top to which I attribute to the problems I am having. (The ones that are bulging are Nichion)
I am looking at Rubycon as the replacement capacitors as I see some are already on my motherboard. I am just seeking some help as to where the best place to purchase the capacitors is and how I determine the sizes of the ones that are on my motherboard. (I don't have a micrometer)
The one's that need replacing are about as big around as a regular old BIC pen. The one's sitting next to them are slightly larger and I assume the smaller ones are 8mm.
I will need the following:
1000uF 6.3v Qty: 9
1200uF 6.3v Qty: 2
1500uF 6.3v Qty: 3
Any help will be appreciated. I do see that there is a link to request a kit here, but I am using my computer right now and I see the dangers after using this site and want to order replacements ASAP so that I can turn this thing off.
