    Albatron 865PE PRO II with some bad caps

    I've had this mobo for almost 2 years and just noiced 3 bad caps. One has popped and the other 2 are bulged a little bit. I contacted albatron and they said they would fix it free parts and labor. But I don't know how long it would take or what replacement caps they would use. Anyway it is just as cheap to fix it my self and I know what parts are being used this way. The 3 bad caps are GSC 6.3v 1000uf. Should I replace just the bad ones or all the red circled ones. Would it make for better overclocking if I replaced all the circled caps because my system is unstable even when not overclocked(I usually don't overclock but sometimes I do). Any imput would be great. Thank you
    Red = GSC 6.3v 1000uf
    Blue = GSC 16v 470uf
    yellow = GSC 10v 1000uf

      i know that board. you should replace all the following caps then it will be perfectly stable again.

      Red = GSC 6.3v 1000uf
      Blue = GSC 16v 470uf
      yellow = GSC 10v 1000uf

          Yes, willawake is right, see a friends Epox board here for example, all GSC caps bulging... (The board is now recapped and working fine...)

              Thanks guys I was thinking of replacing all of them with nichicon HE series because these have a long life and extremely low impedance
              so this Red = GSC 6.3v 1000uf with this mouser.com
              and this Blue = GSC 16v 470uf with this mouser.com
              yellow = GSC 10v 1000uf replace with same cap for the red replacement
              These are what I think are cheap but good. I'm open to suggests on other replacements

                  HE will be very nice indeed. good idea to use 680uf 16v for the 470uf 16v.

                  I actually have a Pro not Pro II board here and it has 1000uf 10v in positions around about those. 470uf 16v is a typical goofy value manufacturers use instead of 1000uf 10 or 6.3v etc. but caution is needed with P4 systems to be sure that the 12v line is not being serviced by some of those caps. so better to stick to 16v.

                  if you have any further probs replace the 4 yellow caps next to the cpu. they can have problems on rare occasions but are usually fine. I wouldnt replace them myself if i was servicing the board. if i did i would probably use 2200uf 6.3 like the sanyo WG which are next to them.

                      OK I'm glad you agree with my choices
                      I had to pick higher capacitance and higher voltage for some because mouser.com didn't have the ones I needed. So its odviously not a problem to get higher rated caps as long as they will fit. And as for those yellow caps I don't even know what brand they are. I couldn't replace them with sanyos, it is too close because they are actually touching. not going to replace something that is working just fine.

                          the yellow caps are fujitsu. we have a thread about them here

                              Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                              by momaka
                              I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                              For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                              It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                              Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                              by eryjus
                              Hello,

                              First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                              I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                              I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                              ...

                              by Paxman_Swede
                              Hello!

                              I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                              The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                              I have studied the board and...

                              Help with switching power supply caps
                              by captain150
                              I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                              I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                              Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                              by Foetuss
                              Good evening

                              I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                              Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                              But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                              Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
