Hi,
I would like to report my experience with thorough recapping of one of about twenty motherboards Asus P5B (aka P5B vanilla) which I have been using in machines for my present work.
Over the last years, I have been recapping few (unfamous) 820 uF 6.3 V caps, which had been getting bulged, with (almost) constant success.
So encouraged by my own experience and by readings of a number of threads here in BADCAPS, I realised that the TK cross semi-cut caps (Figure 1) had to be replaced, and I done it in a complete fashion with 19 original Panasonic FR series identical value caps (Figure 2).
However, most of them simply did not stand the intense working conditions of my research work and as you can also see in Figure 3, one also get bulged as short as 66 hours service (these mobos have been generally working 24/7 for years with minor issues), where some others have been blowing on bottom.
So I have been getting somewhat disappointed by this last experience and I keep wondering where I have failed. Any explanations/suggestions of yours?
By the way, what kind of caps are those in Figure 4? They seem to be hard-to-find ones.
Thanks for attentions
