Hi,
The above-mentioned MB started to give random blue screens after a few years of service, so after inspection it turned out that the UCC KZG 3300uF/6.3V caps around the CPU were bloated. I intend to replace them with Panasonic FM with the same capacitance/voltage rating.
In addition, I intend to replace also the LTec's LZP 1000uF/6.3V with Panasonic FM and the Teapo 100uF/16V with Nichicon PW, just to be on the safe side. There are some UCC KZE capacitors, which are reported to be OK.
This mainboard was used with an Antec SL350P power supply, discussed here.
I have an Athlon XP 2400+ CPU, and I used as "software cooling" the S2KCtl application, which sends the "Halt Disconnect and Stop Grant Disconnect" commands to the CPU when idle, resulting in a lower power consumption. As far as I understood, this puts a great stress on the power regulation, so my question is whether it's wise to use this method again when the system is (hopefully) running.
Also, please have a look and tell me if I'm about to do anything wrong.
Here is a picture of the mainboard:
Thanks!
