Re: GA-8IPE1000-G I can't install XP
Well reading your post and from your experience I know you don't need any confirmation, anyway just to let you know I have checked all caps in my lab with Wayne Kerr PMA3206A and the results confirm they are fakes:
- the highest value I measured is 2120uF, the lowest is 1800uF
- the highest ESR measured is 70mOhm the lowest 52mOhm
From datasheet the capacitance can be 3300uF +/-20% so 3960uF - 2640uF... most of my caps are around 1950uF; the ESR should be 12mOhm MAX... I have values that are 4 or 6 times more...
Ok this lesson cost me 3.27€... I have to delete Dealextreme from my shop list.
Ciao

@ c_hegge: as the new year is close I will follow your suggestion... fireworks is the right use for these fakes caps
