    Abit AI7 - no improvement by better Caps, right?

    Hello, here I have a Abit Ai7, which will heavily overclocked!

    I know, that Abit equip their boards with good Caps, also at my AI7?
    Please have a look:











    If you need the exact type of a Cap to give a recommendation please let me know.
    Thank you

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

          Ok, I just wanted to go sure

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







          Thank you

              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.

                  ok, thanks!

                  I love Abit

                  They mostly have the best Caps, 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.

                          Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                          by eryjus
                          Hello,

                          First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                          I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                          I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                          ...

                          Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                          by Paxman_Swede
                          Hello!

                          I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                          The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                          I have studied the board and...

                          Help with switching power supply caps
                          by captain150
                          I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                          I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                          Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                          by Foetuss
                          Good evening

                          I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                          Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                          But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                          Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                          EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP 256MD2 [256-A8-N542-T2] with bad caps - fixed
                          by momaka
                          I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)

                          So, here is the...
