Re: GA-K8NSNXP-939 bad caps
It generally does.
People that overclock often report they can squeeze high clock speeds out of a board after installing better caps.
Not 100% sure that will apply replacing HM's though.
- That is when thinking from brand new board condition to new caps now. You will get an improvement from old cap condition now to new caps now.
- The defective HM's are otherwise decent caps that were over-filled at the factory. The over fill causes them to crack the bung seals [or bloat] and leak when they heat up. [No room for thermal expansion.] Once the seal is cracked they dry out and fail.
