Searched and cant find one mention of the soltek mobo's on these boards, but they are plagued with the bad GSC caps, and these are very common budget boards, probably the best bang for your buck socketa nforce2 o/c board.
Anyways I have the bad caps on mine, my board died the other day, so I went about looking for any info on it. Turns out there are a couple forums that are represented by soltek themselves and they've been sending out replacement sets of capacitors to those who have been requesting them free of charge. I requested one and plan on changing them out when i get them.
The bad caps on my board are 5 3300uf 6.3v caps, 7 1000uf 6.3v caps and 1 1000uf 10v cap. That would be all the GSC caps on my board, as the rest are sanyo and look just great.
Here are a couple links to the other forums discussing the problems with this particular board:
