EPoX 8KHAL

[gs3]

I've been using my EPoX 8KHAL for about 4.5 years now and, for now it meets my needs and I would prefer to keep it some more.

A few weeks ago the Agiler-ATX400 power supply died. I replaced a few caps and semiconductors and got it to work again.

A couple weeks later I started smelling something burning and I thought I'd wait until whateber it was died. Sure enough, the whole thing died and when I opened the box I found the four +5 pins of the ATX mobo connecter had melted and burnt. Ah, I hate the smell of defeat!

I could not replace the connector so I jury-rigged a wire directly soldered to the mobo to carry the +5V and, for now, it is working fine.

While I did that I noticed some caps bulging...

So, it seems like the prudent thing to do is a total mobo recap and replace the ATX power connector too. And maybe recap the PSU too... The alternative is to replace the system and sell this one before it bites the dust

Any thoughts? Anyone have a caps list for this mobo?

Re: EPoX 8KHAL

I've recently recapped a EP-8KHA+ similar to your current platform, parts were easy enough to source (though I did import some) just depends were you are in the world

A detailed thread which should help you locate the components you require can be found HERE

Good luck... and post some pictures of the nasty wee' fellas if you get the opportunity
