I got an MSI K7N2G board for free a while ago. The board seems to be totally stable, though it's generating a loud electrical noise. I can't tell exactly where the noise is coming from, but I think it's somewhere near the coil next to the mosfets, or from the coil itself. The noise is really loud, I can easily hear it from another room.
What do you think is causing the noise in this case, bad caps ? No caps on the board are visibly bad, no leakage or any other sign, but as I understand they can be bad anyway.
I have tried to identify the caps on the board, but I was unable to identify the brand of most of them. I have attached a few pics of the board, so you may be able to identify them, and tell me if they are bad.
What I could read from the caps:
3 x 1500uF 16V Rubycon MBZ
6 x 2200uF 6,3V KZG
2 x 1800uF 6,3V KZE
16 x 1000uF 6,3V KZG
Thanks
Jakob
