Re: motherboards with SMD capacitors
Willa, at first the SMD description deceived me: I really believed in the existence of a Ceramic-based motherboard!
Anyway, all Gigabytes with a D in their name employ polymer caps.

Re: motherboards with SMD capacitors
well i think iwill get the prize for the least can capacitors
still after reading xbitlabs review of abit ix38 and the incredibly toasty digital vrm, i think i will pass on digital vrm technology
dont you think its newsworthy seeing smd chip type caps on motherboards, it would be a different technique to recap although not a problem. still they can be damaged much easier than radial caps (detached from their bases) by careless users.Attached FilesComment

Re: motherboards with SMD capacitors
The review is not sounding to enthusiastic about this so called "digital VRM" whatever this marketing BS language thing does mean.
I think it simply is the expected shift to higher switching frequencies, where MLCC`s are all what is needed except of a few bulk caps.
Sure, a nice little board, nice bios and monitoring, but from my point fo view nothing that is THAT far better than may be any of the Gigabyte solid polymer boards with a lot of phases.Comment

Re: motherboards with SMD capacitors
I have to know what a Digital Vrm is before admitting is superior to any sturdy multiphase vrm available: I can't see the digital part of it except for a digitally controlled mosfet (does it exist?) and Google doesn't help me much.
Anyway Xbitlabs review points out this kind of vrms tends to run hotter than traditional ones: since heat is a big issue and the Atx location of vrm is a bad cooled corner (at P2 times vrms were surely cooler than actual ones), I think this is a bad cocktail that will show its side effects in future.
Thanks for posting the real question: SMD are machine soldered components. I think there can be some issues if weldings are precise and tiny enough such as chip ones, because this requires a very sharp soldering pen and good handcraft.

Re: motherboards with SMD capacitors
Gateway had a board they used in their Slot A Athlon Boxen.. It didn't have any electrolytics at all.. I had one at one time.. it was a decent board, but no overclocking or anything like that..

Hello!
I need to change the capacitors on my three original Xboxes.
Two of them are 1.6B revisions and have Hynix RAM, and the other one is a 1.6 with Samsung RAM.
The 1.6 has the infamous Nichicon HM capacitors around the CPU, which have all bulged and started to leak. This Xbox no longer powers on.
The 1.6B revisions have Rubycon MBZ capacitors that all look fine, but I’ll change them in due course. Both of these work fine.
I’ve seen some excellent threads on the forum about replacing/upgrading capacitors, but I can’t... -
Hi, I have a question regarding a motherboard with SS capacitors that I'm having trouble with. Every now and again it would give overclock failed at boot even when not overclocking.
Recently more often, and the last few weeks at every single boot. It seems like the typical capacitors needing to warm up, then everything is fine.
Weird thing is the capacitors are all solid state. Do SS capacitors degrade the same way as normal caps? Is it worth trying to recap the board?
I have already replaced the PSU.
The board is a gigabyte x79 ud3.... -
I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
it has inside:
2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon
not heard of these brands are they any good?
iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of... -
Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
power on.
Here are some examples :
(N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
switching supply area).
(N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
than 6.3 V.)
1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...
