    How Do I Avoid Boards With Bad Caps?

    Hi, I've decided that I'll find a place that sells Dual Socket 370 boards, after a failed MSI 694D Pro2 recap. I'm looking at the Asus CUV4X-D - is this board known to have bad caps? Ideally I'd prefer one with onboard VGA/LAN, so what do people think about the Intel STL2? I need more than 1 IDE slot, but I guess I could always turn to a PCI RAID adapter.

    what is up with the 694d?
    and the stl2 i had had chemicon caps.
    best way to avoid crap parts is to inspect at time of purchase.

      Asus CUV4X-D would have most likely Ltec, OST, and Rubycon. Ltec, OST are crap and Rubycon is great. I would recommend the Intel board as Intel boards generally have good caps.
      The great capacitor showdown!
