    Different brands on my MB, ID any bad ones?

    Hello all,

    After buying a replacementboard for my dead HP DC7100 computer, I bought me a used Gigabyte board with Solid caps (GA-965p-DS3). However, this one has a infinite reboot problem and I'm close to throwing everything out of the window!!!

    However I have another Gigabyte board laying around, which is okay at the moment, and I was wondering if I can expect any problems in the future, so my question is, does it have good caps on them or is it a mix of bad and good brands?
    It has 22 Sanyo caps on them, 7 Rubycon, 4 KZG, 6 Evercon and 1 SMG.

    I think I'm safe with the first to brands I guess?
    And the other three?
    Here are the specs:

    KZG (brown)
    1500uF
    16V
    (M)105C
    6171
    7Q or 7N

    Evercon
    100uF
    10V
    E670
    105C

    SMG
    100uF
    16V
    (M)85C
    on the "head" marked ..I and 99

    Any help is appreciated! I'm willing to take some photos if necessary.

    Thank you.

      the evercon and the sub machinegun are crap.

      but any cap will dry up eventually.

          the KZG series one are a good brand, but the series have had problems.. especially if next to any kind of heat.. I would replace them too.

          forgot to add. the KZG are Nippon/chemicon

                  If you mean the SMG by sub machine gun, they are a Chemi-con series and are reliable. Also, from the discription KingBeezz provided, they are tiny little 100uF caps that don't usually fail anyway (at least not within the useful lifetime of the motherboard).
                  I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                  No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

                      wrong, the smaller a cap, the quicker it will fry out to a less-than-usefull state.
                      and that's any brand.

                      i'v been fixing tv, av & computer stuff for over 2 decades and the small bastards are always the ones that cause trouble without showing any outward signs.

                      they are also the ones that often cause the desruction of semiconductors in switching psu's because they either regulate oscilators or reset circuits.

                          Good brands of run capacitor for house heat hump
                          by cook
                          Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
                          Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

                          Thanks

                          Hi all!

                          I just bought a pair of ADS L810 speakers, which I've heard are some of the best speakers from that time (late 70's) into the early 80's. I was super excited to test them out and hooked them up and I was very underwhelmed by the treble. The treble was awfully muffled. I've been doing some restoration work on 70's stereos and a couple of speakers here and there so I am really just a beginner. I do know that capacitors in speaker crossovers filter out the lows to allow only the highs up to the tweeters and mids. Inductors filter out the highs to allow the lower frequencies to...

                          Vintage AT Power Supplies - Selecting Capacitors
                          by iMic
                          Hi,

                          Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.


                          The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon...

                          I have been waiting for these switching power supplies to come well they came in today so I took one apart and found that it Capcon and EIite and another brand that is on my list of capacitors to replace on site it has several 0.47uf @ 50 volts ESR value twice the reading of a new one 10 UF @ 50 volts almost twice the ESR value of a new one 47 UF @ 59 volts with double the ESR value 100 UF almost the same as a new one it got replaced for good measure Iit was a brand if I see them...
