        Sacon and Evercon are GSC brands all right, but Samyoung and Samwha (both Korean) have nothing to do with GSC. Samyoung is a licensee of (and occasional OEM for) Korea Chemicon, while Samwha now owns the plants of what used to be Samsung Electrolytics. Both are a few tiers above GSC in quality.

            GSC went 'poof' years ago.
            GSC became Sacon who became Evercon.
            - All three companies have [or had] the same address and phone number.

            Every time they 'get famous' for selling crap they change their name.

            Sacon and Evercon production over lapped.
            - I've seen boards with both brands on the same board.

            In 2007-2008 there was an Evercon site but it went 'poof'.
            Probably has a lot to do with their FZ series caps blowing up on video cards and two [that I know of] brands of motherboards.

            RED ALERT!
            - Expect a new name marked on the same ole shit soon!

            According to Evercon's site [when it was still there] they -ARE- in cahoots with Samwha [since 2003], Samyoung [since 2004], and some other unidentified Korean companies [since 2005].

            I saved their 'History' page to HDD for later reference because I expected another 'poof' maneuver eventually.
            It's attached. Had to do it by screen shot for the allowable file format here.

            A distribution agreement doesn't prove they are manufacturing for each other, but then again, why wouldn't they?

                BTW:
                That I know of FZ have been found on fairly recent Jetway and BioStar boards.
                .
                Jetway has been using 'GSC products' since at least Socket 370.
                Pretty sure BioStar has too.

                  I've never seen a (newer) biostar with caps other than UCC and OST.

                  A lot of jetway boards have samwha on them. Probalby GSC OEM.

                    That would mean you didn't look too hard.
                    Also depends on what you call recent. To me SLI is recent.

                    TForce 590 SLI Deluxe
                    - an AM2 board [I'd call AM2 'fairly recent'] is loaded with FZ.
                    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5336
                    - Also see pic attached.
                    You can just barely see the 'K' vents that gives them away as FZ's.

                    If you poke around there are a several 'TForce' and 'TPower' boards that have FZ.

                    Another other problem with BioStar is that they swaps caps on their boards during production like nobody's business. Buy three of the exact same model board and you might get three completely different sets of caps.
                    BioStar has been that way as long as I can remember.
                    - The boards on their website have the good caps.
                    - The board you actually get might or might not.

                    FZ come with either blue or black markings. I've seen both. I think they change colors for the same reason they keep changing their companies name.

                    It's near impossible to tell blue FZ from UCC-polymar or black FZ from Nichicon-polymar in photos and most consumers wouldn't know the difference if they were looking at both side by side.

                    I think that's the main reason FZ minics UCC and Nichicon polymer markings.

                    - Example - Look at the pic of the TForce 590 SLI Deluxe I attached below then look at the pic on BioStar's site:
                    http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/t-s....php?S_ID=172#
                    Can you tell if those are FZ's in the site's pic. - I can't.
                    - Are they?
                    I dunno. Might be they used UCC for the site pic and as samples to review sites and then switched to FZ in actual production.

                    ~~~~

                    I'd have to call these 'recent' because they are currently being sold.
                    Different brand cap but same crap-cap issue.
                    - These are sporting Elite caps IN THE VRM's !!
                    [ You can tell by the darker blue and the logo. - see pic. ]

                    Remember Elite? - The bane [pain] of LCD owners world wide. I don't care if they are -supposed to be- poly, Elite are on an even plane for quality with the various GSC reincarnations and are the cheapest crap you can get!

                    There are lots more if you look.

                    ~~

                    I've been told [by someone here] that BioStar are good with good caps but I don't consider them far enough above Jetway to buy one on purpose.
                    The only way I'd end up with one is if I got it in a bulk lot of mixed dead boards. [Which I sometimes do buy.]

                      Well, good thing my Tpower N750 came with all UCC solid caps

                      The only biostars that are good are the Tpower and Tforce's, Tpower's typically have all solid caps, and thanks to newegg's zoom in pictures you can typically tell who the manufacturer is, but as you said you may get different than as pictured. ALL the Tforce's I have seen have UCC's in the VRM and other larger caps, and ost's as the smaller ones.

                      Seems that they make their AMD boards better than their Intel boards.
