Asus A7N8X-E don't start after recapping

Re: Asus A7N8X-E don't start after recapping

I do it the way that I remove all the caps of same capacity. After changing them I move to other capacity. You cannot get lost in this :-)

Anyway, got the same MoBo, no so good as I thought - cannot actually handle DDR400 or something closer to it (not even 380 MHz), even memory and chipset voltmod didn't help.

Also something in the small crap got wrong so now it is not able to interrupt +5 V SB when you tell the board to turn off. For that reason PSU is still pumping voltage into it and I have to do that manually with switch on green wire

These boards seem to have a wall at 195 Mhz or around there.

When I had one for a short time in 2004,

Memtest 86 failed at 196 Mhz with at least 1 error at 1 hour.

And 10 errors at 1 hour at 200 Mhz.

195 Mhz was the max for Memtest 86 to pass. But, I was using PC2700.

use 400. bump the clock down to ~180 and latency down to 2
