    MSI K9A2VM Poly-Mod

    I got my hands on one of these boards. there's a similar one here (http://static.kupindoslike.com/MSI-K..._O_3013614.jpg). My one came with mostly TK Caps (with the exception of panny FLs on the VRM High side). None were bulged, but I thought it would be a fun experiment. Here's what I used

    330uF 16V Fujitsu on the VRM High
    820uF 2.5V Nich LF on the VRM Low
    820uF 2.5V Fujitsu on the Chipset VRM
    560uF 4V NCC PSA on the RAM VRM (note that there were only 2 1800uF caps there originally, with a blank spot for a 3rd one. I filled the blank spot up)
    470uF 6.3V OS-CON SPEC on some of the USB filtering (others I left with NCC KY Lytics)
    1000uF 6.3V Nichicon FPCAP L8 everywhere else

    The board has been going in memtest now overnight, with no errors yet.

    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

    Nice, it looks great!!! What CPU do you have under there?

    Are you going to memtest it with all the RAM slots filled to see how it does with all of them populated?

      That's what I'm doing now. I have four 1GB modules in there for the memtesting, and a Phenom 9750 Quad core CPU. I took those pics when I was just making sure it would POST and not go up in smoke.
