    Intel D865GBFL Cap replacement

    Today me and my stepdad performed our first successful motherboard re-cap on an Intel D865GBFL board, that has been freezing on Flight Sim for a while now. The results have so far been good, and I'm surprised the motherboard works considering the abuse it went through fixing it.

    The only issue is that the CPU core power is around 1.35v, which only bothers me because the Intel Active Monitor does not show it right in the middle of the gauge.

    Other than that, the machine feels like new. I do feel bad that I didn't get the parts through Badcaps, but other than that, I'm happy I was able to get the repairs done, and if it weren't for sites like these, many older machines would be in the trash.

    A thumbs-up to all of you guys!

    Nice work! Glad to see it works now. The Intel D865GBF is a good board other than the caps.

    If it's being used as a flight simulator it makes the re-cap all the more important as the FAA wouldn't approve of flying with busted caps
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      One more thing do you have a Wireless N antenah atached to the board?
      I had a a D865PERL and it started freezing up when i used a Wireless n adaptor on it and it did the same thing with a D865GBF board that i got from ebay.

        I dont think theres anything to worry about with the Vcore mine is siting at just the same place as yours is.

          Vcore depends on what the CPU is.
          An IC in the VRM reads the CPU's VID logic and controls the firing of the MOSFETs to achieve the right voltage.
          Different CPUs have different VID logic.

            and lower vcore=cooler running or more overclock potential.
