Better CAP's = performance?

[punker_4_real]

i Overclock my would better CAP's increase stability and performance?




some of the CAps say


RLP 0412



GSC 105*C t42c



the ones by the cpu say

are theses good or bad CAps?

MBZ




i can not relly see the ones that are by the AGp slot

rlp and gsc are known junk
mbz is rubycon and are good.
recapping a board that was built with crap caps even before they fail will likely improve stability .

ya, i think the advantage are:
- it will get longer life (more reliable caps = more reliable board)
- less ripple voltage in the lines

if you check this link it details how modifications improved the overclock at each stage.

what board are you talking about anyway?

Re: Better CAP's = performance?

What other boards could you do this with?

How would you know what to add if you were the average "Joe"?

Interesting though to see how it fixed things up a bit.

Re: Better CAP's = performance?

some of that stuff i hope to understand one day. they never give enough explanation on the modding sites. will never get one of those guys to write a faq, they are too busy with the next project.

sticking little heatsinks over anything hot and upgrading northbridge cooling is pretty easy for the average joe. adding ceramic capacitors and fets i think is a clear no no. his reasoning is correct though. items get eliminated for cost reasons. i wonder how much of the mods are by trial and error though.

i want to know about replacing normal electrolytics with the oscon sepc. what replacement values to use. those would indeed be beautiful for vcore. i think he should have replaced the chemicons on the 12v line with rubycon mcz though.

he didnt mention about the rubycon ZL caps. if he got the board like that he was lucky, i have seen only with OST.

got one of those boards dead here, nuked a trace somewhere.....was the most difficult solder to melt that i ever encountered....pity cos the deluxe has on board firewire and all that. anyway live and learn.

did you see all the site, there is some more

wish he would come here to teach us.

I recently recapped a 10mbps hub which had conicon caps and I have noticed fewer packet collisions that before the recap.

It is all about assuming, what the initiall desing engineer have in mind, before the skimper got to work. If you compare pretty highend stuff with similar it will getting obviousely, that this desing was uually made for Oscon caps.

Re: Better CAP's = performance?

can we see the ripple with this?

[kc8adu]

Re: Better CAP's = performance?

that should do the trick.
btw whats the point of the link in your sig?
nothing leads anywhere but a log in screen.

That's a great dual trace lab scope.
Your site link is really well done, board driver links are helpful and the built in forum was empty but a good start.
Maybe I'll post first.

wierd...
i can see the content at the shop but not at home?
only difference here is win2k.
linux at home
