Hello all,
I have this Asus Maximus III Formula that is randomly losing power.
The system appears to shut down, But the PSU is still powered up, The board appears to lose all power.
I have done all the usual troubleshooting and I have tested the PSU and all seems fine.
I suspect it could be a failing motherboard component.
I removed the board and had a good look around for any blown or suspicious looking components/caps.
All I could find on the rear of the board was some brittle brownish marks around the solder joints of 2 unidentified capacitors/chokes.
They appear to be fine topside of the board.
The brown square ones are the type I'm talking about, 1 is beside the 24pin and the other beside the 8pin 12v:
The markings are:
C.S
R20
09.23
Any idea what I am looking for as far as replacements go?
Cheers
