Abit BH6

My old reliable. What can I say this board was good to me, but ABIT was not!
This board ran 24/7 for 4 years.

Materials list:

1000uF 6.3V (6) Jackcon
1000uF 10V (5) Tayeh
470uF 16V (2) Jackcon
100uF 16V (14) Jackcon
10uF 25V (10) Jackcon

Did you recap this board? If so, did it work? I have the same board with swollen and leaking capacitors next to the cpu slot. Computer often freezes. Thanks.

Easy board to recap. Asking Jackon caps to run 24/7 for 4 years is asking a lot! Throw some Rubycon MBZs and/or Panasonic FMs in there and the board will be like new.
These older boards had lead solder as opposed to the ROHS stuff, so they are a lot easier to de-cap. Also easy to get at all the caps and traces are sturdier. Get a good iron like a Hakko 936 and give it a try.

Thanks for your response and information. I think I will take your suggestion and have my board recapped.
