I've decided to use this as a DNS cache.
I intend to recap the VRM and other caps on this board
On the I/P side of the VRM, there are;
5 of Choyo 6.3V 1200uF.
This is obviously a +5.0V CPU VRM
These will be replaced with;
2 of 1500uF 10V, 3 of 1000uF 10V Pana FM.
Looking at the VRM, on the O/P side CPU1 has;
1 of 1500uF 6.3V Choyo
2 of 1200uF 6.3V Choyo
And CPU-2 has;
1 of 1500uF 6.3V Choyo
1 of 1200uF 6.3V Choyo
The via for the other 1200uF is present but is empty.
I intend to replace the O/P with;
1 of 560uF 4.0V Sanyo OSCON SEPC
1 of 2200uF 6.3V Pana FM
1 of 1500uF 6.3V Pana FM
Of course, being there is two CPU, each CPU will get the same.
This is 300uF or so above what is in place.
Should'nt be a problem.
The rest of this board is sprinkled with a number of Choyo
6.3V 1200uF and G-Luxon LD 330uF 25V as well
as four GSC 10V 1000uF.
Suprisingly, the G-Luxon cans are larger than the Choyo. Odd!
Can't find the series to chk ESR, ripple and endurance.
Going on past experience, it may prove better to replace these anyway
as will be the case with the Choyo and GSC.
I intend to install a pair of AcceleRAID 170s in this mobo to
mate with the SCSI HDDs.
I will replace the 330uF 25V G-Luxon with Pana FM 16V 470uF.
The FM cans are smaller even so. It may be the case, these
are fake. I'll crack open a can (not because it Xmas!), you never
know, there may be a suprise inside such as;
Any views?
