    Gigabyte 7VKMP storage bad caps?!

    I took out my old Gigabyte 7VKMP botherboard today so I could put it into my Jukebox and have some good ol' fun. I bought this board many moons ago because it came with Japanese KZG and Sanyo caps. Today I take it out after a year or two in storage in my cupboard and I find there's a bad KZG 3300uf 6.3V cap!
    I could swear that ALL the caps were in good condition when I stored it away a while ago. I even went through the trouble of finding a cool and non-moisture place to store the boards!
    Seriously, what the hell happened? I didn't use the board AT ALL when it was in storage and prior to that I only used this board for about half a year before I retired it and put in a better board. :S

      ok, well i know that now.... always thought nippon chemicon caps were good. :S
      But my question still remains... how comes it didn't bulge before storage but it does it after i take it back out? chemical changes or the like while in storage?

        Either that or you just didn't notice.
