    Best of the Worst?

    Just curious, you're on a tight budget, and you need a motherboard. Your only mobo's in your price range all have badcaps, which brand of badcaps should you shoot for if you absolutely had to buy one?

    and if you had to get over a river full of alligators to get that mobo how would you do it?

        I'd go with Teapo.

          Have you been sniffin' the thermal paste remover again?

          How is one to answer such a question?
          First it would depend on what was there to choose from.
          Second I wouldn't be leaving the bad caps. It would be getting recapped.
          Third it would depend on how old (vintage) the boards are.
          AND, It would depend on where on the board the craps are and which craps are where on the board. (What is in Vcore and what is scattered caps.)

          I can tell you what I'd skip past first:
          ANY that have even one bloated cap.
          Then: GSC, JPce-xxx, Gloria, Su'scon, Stone, Choyo, Chhsi, Hermei.

            good solution there!
            hehe...

            i recently bought new gigabyte(for customer) with i9x5(or 6 chipset...these still support dual core) and it's so damn chaeap and has solid caps around vrm and quality caps on other places, so i don't even need to think about buying something with classic lytics on critical places...
            it's so cheap i was ashamed to buy it!
            <wink>

            it was this
            http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=2520

            ...i mean if you don't have 60$ for a mobo...

                    choyo- i have an old Gigabyte 5ax (socket 7) covered in them, none failed

                    teapo as well- get by until i saved 30 bucks for fresh rubys form topcat

                    better yet, buy a nice used one with good caps, or save up

                    and dont buy soyo- everything including the caps is bad quality

                    and i would use a speedboat to avoid gators- they would be killed if they crossed my path
