Re: Gigabyte GA-8IE533 with busted caps
It looks great!
However, as PC so eloquently pointed out to me , I never realized that you used the FC's in the VRM. I thought you used them for the other miscellaneous caps and the FJ's in there.
Somewhere I got the wires crossed in my head of which ones you were putting where...
I think the saving grace here is that you doubled them up by filling the 2 open spaces. You have 4 where there used to be 2. The FC specs are 1850mA ripple and an ESR of 35 mohms. You've effectively Doubled the capacitance there, your ESR is 8.75 mohms, and ripple is 7400mA. I have no idea what the GSC's were rated for (I have no specs), but I think the 4x FC's are rather close.
My immediate concern would be the single FC. It may cause a problem in the future.
Best of Luck!
