HP MicroStar MS-6577

[BlakeW]

Well, i've got a stock motherboard in an (almost) stock HP tower. I wasn't expecting very good quality, what with it being OEM. However, i found quite a few rubycon caps in it (right near the cpu), some pannys (mostly low uF), as well as (*vomits*) a few teapos (low to mid-high uF). :S

Is this any cause for concern?

Re: HP MicroStar MS-6577

wat kind of problems had u faced?

so far i knw rubycon in VRM is fine, panny is fine too.
i think teapo caps are for sound card , etc..

Re: HP MicroStar MS-6577

i haven't actually had any real problems with the board as yet, just wanted to know if any of it is questionable

I have an MSI MS-6526 in my system (Pavilion 753n). Mine has all Nippon KZG's and Teapos... but the Teapos seem to be holding up fine after 4 years of daily use. All KZG for VRM.

I was wondering what brand the KZG's were, thanks for indirectly telling me :P mine has them also.

unless your fans fail the kzg will be fine.
they dont seem to last in hot machines.
