    What to swap on a GA-8IDX

    I mentioned in an earlier thread that I picked up this mobo but I never really got around to recapping it. Now that my first recap has failed (probably I missed a few) I need a newer, faster source of computing power.
    **sorry if pics too large**



    Above the cpu are sevral bulging GSC's and CHOYO's, the large caps scattered over the board are also GSC's and there are smaller CHOYO's also scattered around.



    There's a set of sanyo's along the cpu and they don't have any visible signs of failure.

    Is it recommended for a replacement of just the GSC's and CHOYO's or do the sanyo's also have to go?

    I'd say the Sanyo's should be fine.
    I have not heard of many (any?) cases of Sanyo's failing.

      Sanyos are good.

        I've never seen a failed Sanyo in any application. GSC on the other hand... replace them immediately before the board goes up in flames!
