Looks like all Rubycon caps. You'll be good to go there!

Ok, I just wanted to go sure

The same good caps are on my NV8, right? (don´t want to make an extra Fred):

your AI7 has rubycon MBZ, ZL and YXG

the NV8 has chemicon PSC polymer on vcore, the best caps of the chemicon range. thats great. also there is rubycon YXG

you can check the caps here. they are better towards the right.

Yeap, the newer boards are good. Any way, at that price tag i think they should deliver something in that area of quality. I have build a rig with an Abit A8N-SLI and even the availiable sttings and overall quality was very ver yhigh, the system had some quirks. I got it stable, after loading a new bios wich addressed some memory related problems and the AMD DC fix. From that a board i have`t expected sutch problems. Those HEatpipe NB & SB cooler is IMHO not a very good cooling solution.

In the past, even Abit sold bad caps.
