I just found a Gigabyte that appears to have Sanyo/Suncon for less!

Re: Biostar TA970XE caps

Yup. The Gigabyte ultra durables always use Japanese polies (Either OS-CON, Nichicon LF, or Chemi-Con).

Re: Biostar TA970XE caps

i think most biostar boards use Su'SCON POLYMERS which seem to be decent caps, Iam running all suscon in my AMD PHENOM X6 system it runs great, I even have programable LED fans that say Su'Scon

Su'scon are total junk. They may have that cute capacitor guy on their website, but they still make junk caps.

Re: Biostar TA970XE caps

i see more and more companies using Su'scon polymers, haven't seen any of them fail, only other time ive seen their lytics fail were in monitors, when which plenty of samxon caps have failed in thouse too.

In all likelihood, they were GF or GL series, which are also known junk, so that means nothing. Their polies might be OK, but I still don't trust them as much as OS-Con.
