I have never seen one with bad caps before, but then again i've never seen this specific motherboard.

A look on google images shows that it has at least some teapo caps (bad on motherboards,) but thats what I can see from some fuzzy small picture.

Post some pics of it if you are worried.

Are you experiencing problems? Weird shutdowns, Windows won't restart, random restarts, programs lockup for no apparent reason, system hangs, BSOD's, etc.

Easiest way is to take a look like 370 said and post up some pics.

Cheers!
