    Bad Caps on Aopen DX34R-U

    I just moved my Aopen DX34R-U to another case and I noticed that there are several caps that are bulging and two or three that are leaking.
    I clean up the leaks and the board is still working fine and totally stable under full 100% load on both CPU.
    My question is will it actually worth getting those caps replaced? I have no soldering skill at all and am not prepared to do it myself.
    Is there any chance of damage to the other components if I continue using the board? So far I have monitored the voltage and there is no sign of any problem at all.

    Thanks

    I'd stop using it. It wont get any better. Yes, it can damage other components on the board. If you cant recap it yourself, let me know, I'll do it for you.

    Here's what can happen to your board/RAM if you continue to use it and ignore the caps.

      not only is it going to get worse it could kill hardware and destroy data.
      if you care about the system get it recapped tc or i can do it.

        Yeah, I will definitely get it recapped ... a friend of mine has offered to do so.

          Also, it likely IS unstable without knowing it!!! Likely that Prime95 is going to start failing. Then will progress to crashes even when just browsing the internet.

            Actually what's strange about this is as I said on my first post ... the system is 100% stable at this time (I've taken it off line until I got it recapped) ... I did run several 3D rendering through, video compression, prime95 ... all tests run perfectly ... I only noticed the bad caps when I had to move the board to another case ... anyway hope my friend will fix it soon.
