Identifying these capacitors

[JPack]

Can anyone recongize these capacitors? They're on eVGA motherboards. I'm wondering if it's a known bad brand.

Thanks.

Perhaps if the photo included any of the writing, it might help?

Re: Identifying these capacitors

they look like polymer capacitors from one of the taiwanese brands

can we have a shot of the logo of the cap near the coil?

Re: Identifying these capacitors

I'm actually looking to buy this motherboard, so I can't take a photo of it - sorry.

I got the photo from this review here: http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/...ds/1533_1.html

The rest of the board looks high quality so I was hoping the caps would be good.

Thanks for the responses though.

Re: Identifying these capacitors

ok basically evga said that they were using all polymer capacitors on their motherboards. this is a good step and i believe no other manufacturer is doing this on consumer boards. unfortunately they look like taiwan brands. the polymer caps do not fail in the same manner as the electrolytics though but if they are badly made can make problems.

you want to know whether to buy the board? the problem is that there is not data on fails for taiwan polymers, they are quite new. i checked the link and i see another taiwan brand i recognise on that board.

if the choice was between that board and another with taiwan electrolytics i would go with the evga with the polymers. Anyway you really need to inspect the board before purchase to check what caps are on the board and not the review model. this is a problem with most brands recently if you check some of the threads on the forum, the caps differ on different models.

Hmm... MD Willington was talking about Lelon Oc-Con in a different thread... Could these be it? Similar colour it looks like to me....
