    Ga-6vtxe

    Bad all 4 GSC 3300uF/6.3V and all 2 GSC 1200uF/6.3V. Luckily, the 330uF/25V caps are not Choyo but G-Luxon so they're not bad. There are free spaces so I'll use more 2200uF caps instead of those 3300uF.
    BTW. Yes, the CPU socket is blue The camera is not that bad.

      Replaced 4 3300uF with 6 2200uF/16V and 2 1200uF with 2 2200uF/16V. The free spaces for caps were not all connected to VCore - one is for 5V line - I left that free and used all other - 6 2200uF caps are exact fit for the same capacitance - the board was probably designed for that.

          New caps - perfect fit. You can also see one free cap-space for the 5V line. I've already upgraded two 1200uF to 2200uF so I left this one free.
          The VRM runs really hot because there are only two mosfets (measured 72 degC on the upper mosfet!). The heat might be a problem for the new caps. Fortunately, most of them are away from the mosfets.

              Blue Socket-370 sockets generally denote Tualatin support, although there's no change to the pinout. The Northbridge (Via 8601T) confirms the Tualatin support. With a careful choice of low-ESR caps, it might be possible to do a 'golden overclock' on Tualerons with this board - 100->133 FSB with no other mods. Perhaps a good application for those Samxon ultra-low ESR caps that Big Pope is promoting?

                  Rainbow; slap a small heatsink on the VRM's

                  So they get additional cooling from the CPU and case fans... It always helps... Never good to run components at high temps

                  And the board does support Tualatins just as linuxguru says

                      I know that it's Tualatin board - tested it with Celeron 1.3GHz.

                          the g-luxons are bad.you just dont know it yet.
                          you can use 1000@6.3 to replace them.do it now or wish you had later.

                              RELAND SUN 6.3v 3300uf Low or High ESR?
                              by Oldschool297
                              I found these, i would only like to try them on a board to see if it post. It don't post at the moment, i guess there are 9 6.3v 3300uf that can be broken. Is these low or high esr? I did not find info on the web.

                              by pavithra_uk
                              I found used PSU AcBel PC6001 ~250W from IBM thinkcenter Core2Duo system. Almost every output rail caps were bulged except 12V rail single cap. caps were Ltec

                              12V - 1200uF 16V
                              5V - 1000uF 10V before coil 1000uF 10V after coil
                              3.3V - 1000uF 10V before coil 1000uF 10V after coil
                              5Vsb - 1000uF 10V before coil, 470uF 16V after coil


                              Since I have no access to buying new branded caps, I'm going to replace caps with used caps I pulled from dead PSUs and Motherboards.

                              I need cap experts ideas about it.

                              [MSI KT3 Ultra ARU] Advice on capacitor choice
                              by cloppy007
                              I've found out that the all the Nichicon HM(M) caps on this board are faulty and need replacement. However, I didn't plan in advance and I don't have good replacement caps.

                              The original values are 2200uF, 6.3V, 5mm pitch. According to the datasheet, the rated impedance should be around 13-18 uOhms.

                              There are 8 of them, 3 to the left of the CPU socket and 5 on the bottom, very close to the northbridge. They are all connected, according to my multimeter.



                              I think I recall hearing that I don't have to use the same capacitance for in series...

                              Picking caps for Antec SU-380
                              by ajdrenter
                              In my search for a proper 5v heavy ATX power supply, I selected an old Antec SU-380 that I've had in storage for a long time. Opening the power supply reveals a couple bulged capacitors. I removed all the caps and made a map for myself. I found the datasheet for the PCE TUR series in this thread:
                              https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14159
                              It says these are general purpose, so I assume I can replace them with any general purpose capacitors, but I don't really know anything about power supply circuits or reading capacitor datasheets. Despite this, I've been shopping for replacements:...

                              Replacement caps for Samson Resolv studio monitor 65A Amp board.
                              by black6host
                              Good day!

                              I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.

                              I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first...
