        May be Capsun or Samwha. But i haven`t seen the exact logo there.

            good find!
            useful even with all the unreadable scribble.

                Time will tell us, but i would not expect a fully blown quality control and stringent raw material testing as may be from the well known & more expensive big players in the field.

                On the other hand, i think they may have learned their lesson and take the opportunity to improve their overall production habits.
                Any way, it think they should at least outlast any electrolytic cap and thus are probably perfectly fine for SOHO IT equipment.

                But on a expensive, high end board, i would want to have something better, e.g. Oscon.

                  It looks like almost all major players, ASUS, Gigabyte, ABIT etc have moved to Fujitsu over Sanyo OSCON. Almost every single new LGA775 P35/X38 board out there comes with these caps. But, the Xeon boards are still OSCON.

                      Re: Help identifying these caps?

                      on some old asus boards i have seen them fail.like a7 series.
                      but not on more recent stuff.
                      time will tell as i am stuffing them in every board i own to test.

                        From the logo printed on the case, it's Ost's polymer cap.

                          cool.
                          now we know.

                            Holy hell...what is the world coming to????????...I hope for ASUS's sake those don't go the OST 'lytic way. I'd be pissed to spend about $300 on a "Premium" MB only to find it populated by OST's. (It is an ASUS Maximus Formula BTW).

                                  Interesting info Super Nade, I've also bought a Asus Maximus Formula Super Hockey GT3 Plus Pro Deluxe with extra cheese and blue LED's

                                  Will be interesting to see how it likes being watercooled=fucking hot VRM section due to poor air flow in the case...

                                    No way guys, it is not my board. I have the poor cousin P5K with Fujitsus on 'em. I really pity the bloke whose OST Polymers go kaputt! I'll be keeping an eye out for any failures.

                                    However, is everybody 100% sure that these are OST?????

                                      Certainly not, but if they would be from a good brand, i think there would be more than one reply.
                                      And meimei_liu seems to be confident on this part.

                                      I think if they aren`t Ost it probably could only be worser. We have had a topic here, where a Asian government paid research project was mentioned, to enable their cap manufacturer to supply the next generation cheapi polymer caps.
                                      Theoretically, anyone of those people could probably start a polymer capacitor production.

                                      May be the logo was derived from the Capsun logo, which is very similar.

                                        I say nay to OST. I searched through their products for a narrow logo and found a Quartz Crystal. OST's narrow logo is a T on an O.



                                        I have a circle logo that could just as easily be OST and mine have brown goo . The two caps in the center are Rubycon 3300uf 6.3v HM.

                                          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...

                                          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).

                                          Hello,

                                          So, pulled a motherboard out from storage, was working when put away, wont post when I took it out of storage today.
                                          Since it was working, and it looks to be essentially time that killed it I figured its a good idea to replace the caps before digging further.
                                          Looks to be only good quality caps on this board, so might not be the issue. But it is closing in on 20 years now so, wont hurt i guess

                                          Its a ASUS P5VDZ-MX board.

                                          I would really appreciate some assistance on what the best replacement caps would be for these:

                                          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."
                                          ...

                                          Hi,

                                          I just noticed that my Asus V9999GT (GeForce 6800 GT) had some swelling capacitors. I managed to identify the brown ones, which are Nippon Chemi-Con KZG series, 6.3V 820µF, which I plan to replace with this.
                                          But for the yellow ones, I guess these are Fujitsu caps, without being able to identify which series... A picture of the video card is attached to the topic.

                                          I need to replace:
                                          • 2x 2.5V 1500µF => I plan to use this
                                          • 2x 16V 330µF=> I plan to use this
                                          • 1x 6.3V 680µF=> I plan to use this
                                          Am I correct with the cap choices?

                                          Thanks for...
