Re: Dell refurbishing "oops" on GX620 motherboard

those should have burst within seconds of being powered up if there's 12v put on a 6.3v cap....they go POOF really quick and really loudly. They wouldn't have lasted 3 minutes let alone 3 months.

Thought ya'll might get a kick out of this one. For those who have recapped the Optiplex GX620 motherboards, you should be able to pick up on this right away:



For those who are still wondering, I pulled these three Ruby MCZ's from the right of the picture. There are supposed to be three 1500uf, 16v caps, but instead were three 2200uf, 6.3v caps, which of course failed. Suprisingly enough, they lasted a whole 3 months, just goes to show you how great of quality these Ruby's are. Replaced them with Ruby MBZ's 1800uf, 16v. (I'm out of 1500uf's.)
