    To many 16V caps...

    Hey guys.

    I've just gotten my VP6 and the caps i ordered yesterday.

    When looking at the board, I see the 15 1500uF 6.3V Caps. Furthermore I see 4 1000uF 16V caps scattered arround the board. But what about the last 4 1000uF 16V next to the parallel port? I have 4 1000uF 6.3V caps left from my purchase.. All kits included this... Are the caps on the board just overrated? Or should i just leave them?

    I know they arent marked on TomCats picture with red and green circles... Please help...

    Well, time to warm up the soldering iron...

      iirc those are on the +12 side of the vrm.
      there is 1 near the agp and anther near the center of the board.
      6.3 v cap there=bang!

          That kit wasnt one of mine, I dont even have any 1000uF 6.3v caps... HEHE I always use 10v or 16v caps. The (4) 1000uF caps by the parallel port only have 8v on them, so a 10v cap will work fine there. The (2) 1000uF caps in front of the AGP slot, MUST be replaced with 16v caps. Like KC8 said, there's 12-14v at their positions, and using a lesser voltage cap will blow it. The other 1000uF caps (one between the AGP and PCI1 and the other near the northbridge) can have a 6.3v cap in their places. Either of those positions have 5v or less on them. I've even seen Abit use 6.3v caps in their refurbs.

              Thanks guys.

              I just found the recap post Topcat posted, it showed in details concerning the 4 caps next to the parallel port. I went to my local dealer and bought 4 normal 105 degree 1000uF 16V caps. They should do the trick.

              I assume that I could just have left the caps alone, on the Project:VP6 articles these caps aren't mentioned for replacement, and my board featured resoable jackon caps. But now they are replaced, and out of mind.

              The kit i referred to, was the one on www.motherboardrepair.com
              He uses 15 2200uF 6,3V, 2 1000uF 6,3V and 6 1000uF 16V. So I just assumed that the 4 caps next to the parallel port was 6,3V. I guess his kit uses 6,3V for the two 16V in the center of the board, and 16V for the two next to the AGP and the four next to the parallel.

              Well the board are fixed, neatly fitted into a nice cleaned casing... But I can't find my thermal grease... Grrr... Well, to the dealer again...
              Can't wait to fire it up...

                  Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                  by momaka
                  I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                  For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                  https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                  It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                  Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                  by eryjus
                  Hello,

                  First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                  I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                  I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

                  Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                  by Paxman_Swede
                  Hello!

                  I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                  The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                  I have studied the board and...

                  Help with switching power supply caps
                  by captain150
                  I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                  I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                  Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                  by Foetuss
                  Good evening

                  I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                  Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                  But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                  Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
