    Looks much better
    Are there any other GSCs on the board?

      looks good. but what are the other caps you missed? Sanyo MV-WX is a very good cap.

      i am interested in the possibility of replacing badcap brand 1000uf 6.3 or 10v with Sanyo MV-WX 820uf 6.3v to get the 8mm width. I am wondering if this is feasible, their esr is very good.

        All caps on this board are GSC... Though it has been in service for over 3 years now and it was only the VRM output caps that had failed so I think the remaining GSC's will last quite a while... I've only got GSC and TEAPO caps on my 8RDA3+ and it's been in 24/7 service for well over 3 years with no bulging or stability problems. Mind you this is a system running quietly (read: hot) and heavily overclocked

          The other GSC (at least the green ones) will go too, IMHO. Maybe soon, maybe later - it's one of the worst brands.

            Hi Willawake. You question about replacing 1000u with 820u. It is probably OK, but it really depends on the design at that part of the circuit. Low ESR is always good, but a in circuit running with a light loading the importance diminishes. If by chance the circuit has low frequencies to bypass then capacitance is more important. I am currently using Samxon GC series to get 8mm.

              Yes I know... Call it an experiment; I want to see how long they last...

              Plus getting caps for the whole board is pretty expensive IMO

              I mean there are the really cheap Intel compatible mobos with crap caps going for about the price of good caps for all spots on this mobo!

                Why would you want to? There are several good caps (Panasonic FC and FM; Nichicon HE and PW; United Chemi-Con KY and KZE) available in 1000μF, 10v size in 8mm width. All are 20mm long, and readily available. 6.3v is too close for my liking to 5v; I'd much rather use 10v units.
