    MSI 694D Master-S recap success

    Hi!

    Just wanted to show what I did last night (till 3am). The board has been now running stabile for about 10 hours with both cpus and 768MB of memory. Before recap it crashed in a hour and detected random amounts of memory each reboot. Now it detects correctly every single time.

    Caps:
    5xChhsi 1000uF 6.3V -> Nichicon HD 1200uF 10V
    3xChhsi 470uF 16V -> Nichicon PL 330uF 50V (not best suited)
    2xChhsi 100uF 16V -> Nichicon PL 120uF 25V
    3xChhsi 100uF 25V -> Nichicon PL 120uF 25V
    1xTayeh 1500uF 6.3V -> Nichicon PM 2200uF 6.3V
    8xTayeh 2700uF 6.3V (vrm out) -> Nichicon PM 2200uF 6.3V
    4xNippon chemi-con KZE 4700uF 6.3V (vrm in) -> left alone

    As you can see I had to use 2200uF in place of 2700uF because I didn't have bigger uF in small enough physical size. I hope those smaller caps can handle the extra strain at least for a couple years.

    The small heatsink for other cpu in pictures was just for a quick test as I had misplaced other M1. M1s are enough to run 650MHz coppermines fanless in a case with good airflow. I dont want any extra noise since this will become my astaro firewall box.

    BTW it's not easy to find quality low ESR caps in Finland. I had to order my Nichicons from USA :/

    Re: MSI 694D Master-S recap success

    good work and nice dolls there what a joy to hear another success story.

    2700uF to 2200uF and 1500uF to 2200uF replacement are fine, if it works then it works. there are some room for tolerance in the design of the mobo and in the spec of cap it self.
    days are so short when you actually do something..

      Capacitor Diarrhea - Nichicon PL Series
      by DrewPhillips
      Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

      The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

      Mid/late 80's Nichicon Yellow Caps
      by nick3092
      I recently acquired a set of Bose Roomate speakers from the mid to late 80's. Basically the right speaker cabinet is completely passive, and the left one has the power transformer and amplifier circuit in it. Out of curiosity, I opened it up to see what the circuit looked like. Looks like they used all Nichicon VX (2x 4700uF/16v for smoothing off the bridge rectifier), a couple random Nichicon SE series sprinkled on the board, and what really caught my eye - 2 yellow sleeved Nichicon caps (both 1uF/50v with no real series marking. Below are pictures of the caps. The only thing not shown in these...

      ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
      by momaka
      Here’s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
      This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF caps… which aren’t any good news either.

      So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:

      Is there datasheet for nichicon LXJ series?
      by chth96
      I want to calculate capacitor ESR referring to below guide.

      https://forum.digikey.com/t/calculat...-from-tan/2633


      I must find out dissipation factor(Tan(δ)) for nichicon lxj series(6.3v 1500uf,25v 1000uf ,10v 2200uf)
      I finally found out datasheet which has all series of nichicon capacitor.But unfortunately, It removed old nichicon capacitor.
      Is there anyone who still has old nichicon datasheet which has information of LXJ series?

      Is there any datasheet for nichicon RT(M) series?
      by chth96
      A few days ago,I destroyed one of my japanese retro game console by pluging it to 220v outlet.
      https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...e-been-blew-up

      and I finally fixed​ this retro game console by soldering varistor and glass fuse.

      But I noticed that When I measure voltage of PSU's 5pin connector, it is 8.80-9.07v, 5.13v,3.40-3.48v,GND,GND instead of its rated voltage of 9v 5v 3v GND GND.
      I have spare console...
