    Asus P5BV-E/SAS recap

    Posting here to document a recap of an Asus P5BV-E/SAS full-ATX server board. It's about a decade old, and generally not worth the trouble to recap, except that it has an on-board LSI SAS Raid controller which may be required for legacy reasons.

    It was chock full of 1500/6.3 and 820/6.3 KZGs, of which only one at XCE3 next to the PCI slot was visibly bulging. Here are the substitutions I did (for future reference):

    Location Orig New Comment
    XCE3 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Next to PCIe slot
    PCE41 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Next to PCIe slot
    UCE1 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Near LSI SAS/Raid controller
    PCE20 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Near CMOS battery
    PCE42,43 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Next to DIMM B2 slot
    SCE1 1000/6.3 TMZ 1500/6.3 Panasonic FJS Near Southbridge
    PCE37 820/6.3 KZG (not replaced) Near Southbridge, a bit tricky to remove
    SCE2 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Next to DIMM B2 slot
    PCE17,18 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Near CPU fan connector
    PCE10..14 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Near Northbridge and ATX24 power

    The 1500/6.3 FJS and 1500/10 ZLH are mostly interchangeable, I just used what I had in hand.

    There are ~10 820/6.3 KZGs which I left alone - near the keyboard connector, PCI slots, Super I/O and Southbridge as noted above. There isn't likely to be significant ripple current or hot air flow near these 10 caps, so I'll deal with them later if needed. For now, the board is POSTing and booting reliably with a Core 2 Duo E6700 and generic PC5300 DDR2 DIMMs.
