Gigabyte GA-7VTXH

[BigAlNZ]

Hi Guys,

I have a Gigabyte GA-7VTXH Rev 1.1.

[URL=http://img247.*************/my.php?image=123tu3.jpg][IMG]http://img247.*************/img

I have removed the 3 capacitors indicated by the arrows. The odd thing is that i think this mobo has already been recapped. I say this because although the three capacitors LOOKED the same, one was a different brand with a different rating.

I had 1x CHOYO 330uf 25v (black)
2x CHOYO 1200uf 6.3v (green)

In my experience (limited) tightly packed rows of capacitors are normally all the same value? (t/f?)

And secondly does anyone have this motherboard so they could check for me please?

What would likely happen if i used 1200uf 6.3 to replace all 3?

And with respect to panasonic are FM series better than FC? (FM seems to have longer life)

Cheers in advance

Dear Friend,
My experience tells me to replace all the capacitors and bad capacitors always have no any viewable sign. ＊
