Missing capacitor

[JorgeHernan]

Hi guys
I have bought an Intel d865 perl motherboard but a capacitor near the agp fets is missing (C6F10).Does anyone know what capacitor is?
Thank you for your help

Re: Missing capacitor

post a pic.
not all pads are filled depending on board and parts on hand.

Re: Missing capacitor

That pic is a bit blurred, but it certainly looks like there was a capacitor in there once, not just solder pads. In fact, it looks like the capacitor was physically ripped off the board with some force, leaving the legs and a tiny bit of the insides behind!

Check the other capacitors in the vicinity - chances are, it'll be the same capacitor as one of the other nearby ones, connected in parallel. But just to be safe, find someone else who has the same board to check what capacitor should go in there.

The 'unfilled holes' that kc8adu mentioned are like the ones at the bottom right of that picture.

Yes it is ripped off, what happened to this motherboard is what you mentioned.

Re: Missing capacitor

Cant help you directly with value of cap, hopefully someone here will know for sure

If you are desperate

At a guess , looking at the diameter of the silk screen overlay its probably the same value as the smaller one near it

Looks like someone has been digging at the Vid connector which is possibly why it got ripped off.

I would check (with a mag glass) to be sure no other damage was done to the surface mounted components near by, or pcb

You could possibly varify the voltage rail by doing a point to point (resistance continuity measurement) with a multi meter to see which rail (5V 12V whatever) it was hanging across.
(to help work out what it might have been and as a safety measure so you don't use a lower voltage cap across a higher voltage)

As above, caps tend to be in groups of values and voltage so the overlay diameter can be a bit of a guide.

Better thought if someone does know the value and can post

HTH Cheers

Re: Missing capacitor

The Intel web site for this card has a neat 3-D image of the board. I still can't make out the cap, but give it a look.

Looks like 25v 100uf in 6.3mm

Re: Missing capacitor

There actually is another current thread in the badcap forums on this board. The original poster misidentified it as a D965PERL. Maybe you can ask him to identify the cap:

Yes! it turned out to be a 25v 100uf capacitor!Now is working flawlessly!Thank you!
