Hi, can anyone identify this cap please. It sits under the cpu heatsink on a Asrock 775i65g motherboard. Pc still works perfect but I want to replace the cap before it causes other problems.

680uf 4v
and you need to use a polymer cap that is not too tall or it will hit the heatsink. -
Re: Cap Identification please.
Thank you stj. BTW do you happen to know the make of the cap? so I can match the specs.Comment

Re: Cap Identification please.
no, just get a polymer - the spec will be far better than even the best electrolyticsComment

Re: Cap Identification please.
You can get with 2.5 V too, that's gonna be on some Vcore rail.Less jewellery, more gold into electrotech industry!

Re: Cap Identification please.
Seeing how the thing vented, I wonder if it's an ultra-low impedance electrolytic in what looks like a polymer package.
Replacing it with a real polymer cap, really soon, would be good. Is anyone familiar with Jovian distributors?PeteS in CA

Re: Cap Identification please.
what's the diameter of the bad cap - 8mm? 10mm?
and the height - for clearance.Last edited by stj; 07-22-2017, 06:17 PM.Comment

Re: Cap Identification please.
The diameter is 8mm and height about 9mm.Comment

ASRock 775i65G, somewhat strange PCB layout of rev. 2.04. Interesting board that is…
If you have any dead MoBo or graphics around, you can scavenge polymers from that, anything from 330 to 1000 uF 2.5-6.3 V would do, no need to go shopping for one piece. If you want better stability especially with overclocking, might as well fill those other two vacant positions, and the ceramics C1717 (?) to C1720.Less jewellery, more gold into electrotech industry!

Re: Cap Identification please.
This would be a great replacement too:

It's interesting to note that the older PCB revision on Asrocks website does not have any of these capacitor positions populated:

Re: Cap Identification please.
Thanks for the recommendation but I was thinking of ordering these http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/7149004/ with them being a bit more durable 5000hrs and the cap sitting under the heatsink.
Thanks for the reply. I've just had a look at an old Radeon 9700 pro and a Geforce 5900xt both are dead and all caps on them are surface mount ones.
If a 330 uf cap would definetally be enough I'll have another look on Rscomponents. Do you happen to know any ebay sellers that have genuine caps?
BTW what caps would be suitable to use in the two vacanct positions?Last edited by flewpastjupiter; 07-23-2017, 09:34 AM.Comment

Re: Cap Identification please.
Basically any combination of polymers, really. Of course generally regarding VCore VRM, the higher the capacity the better. On the other hand polymers have much lower ESR and higher RC than even the best wet lytics so that's why you an go down with capacity without issues.
If you can get some 820/2.5 V ones for cheap you can use those, that would be one of the best choices. On the other hand not that the CPU stability, which itself (any of the Core 2 architectures ones) could handle 1066 MHz FSB any day of the week, would be an issue here, unlike with the chipset which supports only 800 natively and 1066 indeed is overclock for it…
Would not kill 9800 Pro or 5900XT anyways, those are collectors items these days, one of the most powerfull cards of theirs generations. Especially if AGP
Anyway, I can send ya pulled polymers from here, always got some. I don't carry new ones yet as I have little use for them yet and still have income of some from all the dead boards

Socket 775 - gonna be well under 1.5 V. Even my 478 Press-hot only runs at 1.33 V.Less jewellery, more gold into electrotech industry! Half of the computer problems is caused by bad contacts

Re: Cap Identification please.
I've just checked and its a 9700pro not 9800pro. I had it in the oven a few years ago to try to fix it
and the 5900XT just BSOD's when windows loads.
I don't know the voltage, but I thought a 2.5volt cap would be ok for the cpu vcore.Comment

Re: Cap Identification please.
what if it's not on the vcore?
what if it's on the 3v3 line?
im not saying it's not on vcore - i'm saying dont assume anything without checking .
not if you intend to downrate the parts anyway!Comment

Would anyone know what this component may be? It's on an ASROCK B460 Steel Legend Gaming PC Motherboard. The writing on it is 29 7B / 43N.
Thanks.... -
I have peltir element glued to heatsink with something thick and sticky like putty... it cant be separate with force or heat without risk of breaking ceramic or damaged semiconductor layers due to force (eg if try twisted, pulled, lifted)... method that I am using is a single thread for needle (thin and firm thread of pure polyester that cant break with bare hands without glowes), and using it like a saw between heatsink and peltir. I holding a heatsink with knee against table. It slowly cut throug putty and release glued parts. It is slow proces, but preserve undamaged component and heatsink....

Hello everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade the heatsink on the main processor of my TV's motherboard for better cooling performance.
The current heatsink is a square-shaped one (2.8cm x 2.8cn) with a basic design, and I believe a more efficient heatsink could help with thermal management and potentially extend the life of the TV.
I'd appreciate any advice on the best type of heatsink to use, specific product recommendations, and tips for installation.
If you've done a similar upgrade, I'd love to hear about your experience and any challenges you... -
Hi guys,
I managed to semi-kill an ASRock N100M board after updating Bios from 1.10 to 2.01. It's a zombie now, dead, but not dead.
ASRock N100M special features:
- CPU soldered to board, small Intel 12th gen
- iGPU
- four POST LEDs
Problem after updating Bios to 2.01 using the in-Bios update tool: no picture, no boot.
I am not sure anymore if it booted at least once successfully after updating the bios to 2.01, maybe not, I can't remember. I think it did not.
Symptoms:
- no picture/signal on any of the display connectors,... -
I have an AsRock Taichi 7900xtx, and the minimum fan speed is way too high at 1000rpm, and thats with it's Quiet BIOS switch on, and me setting the fan profile as low as it goes, while on.
Now 1 thing I could do is just make some circuit to put in between the fan the the GPU, and leave the fan on all the time, but anytime the GPU is sending the PWM for min speed, I'll just send something lower and quieter.
But does anyone know what how AsRock usually sends the PWM to the fans on GPUs and mobo's? Is it from the MCU that's often near the 12V inputs and fan jack ? Or is...
