Hy guys!
I'm from Rome Italy so forgive me if my English isn't perfect.
Congratulations to the authors for the website!!!
Well I have a P4 computer, with a lot of cooling, to which I'm very attached and that I used to overclock raising fsb speed from 200 MHz to 218 MHz (from 3400 MHz to 3700 MHz). Over this threshold I had memory errors with memtest. Now since few days ago it started to give me memtest errors from just 208 MHz. This must be certainly due to caps degradation. In my PC I use an ati HD3850 and so I'm VERY cpu - limited... in fact in this situation I loose about 450 3d Mark 2006 points.
This is really annoying! So I disassembled my pc and now I have my motherboard on the table. It is ASRock 775 V88+.
This afternoon I bought all the replacing caps and an outstanding Lafayette mini soldiering station. I was starting to replace the caps but I decided to check the datasheet of the new caps I just bought and I saw that their declared ESR is not so low. These caps are branded ELNA and the series is RE3.
I saw on the web that these caps are more often used in power supplies rather than on motherboards.
May I use these caps or I risk to burn my mobo? It is working now! I only complain memory errors in overclock.
My real purpose is to obtain stable behaviour at higher frequencies by replacing caps with higher quality ones.
Could any of you please tell me which caps should I use and possibly where to buy them? Here in Italy they are almost impossible to find.
The mobo has:
4 of 16.0V 1200 uF NCC KZE ---> height 20 mm; width 10 mm
6 of 6.3V 3300 uF NCC KZG ---> height 24 mm; width 10 mm
22 of 6.3V 1000 uF OST RLP ---> height and width about 9 mm
5 of 16.0V 100 uF Teapo SS ---> height 7 mm; width 6 mm
Thanks in advance for reading me!
