Got My intel OR840 today. Checked all the caps first, all look fine. The main ones around the cpu are small, fat ones. The manufacturers are either OS-con, or Sanyo. No vents on the top of any of them either?

Re: Any of these bad caps?
Sanyo OS-Con are solid polymers, very good caps.
That type of cap doesn't need vents because they aren't prone to explode. -

Ahhhh...they're solid. NICE!!! I didn't know that, way to go intel and IBM on a job well done on a good board.Comment

How long will it be until Yum Cha Industries starts manufacuring cheap polymers
?
In that case an ESR meter would be the only way to troubleshoot.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment
