EPOX 8RDA+ rev1.1 with BAD CAPS

[noorman]

After just under a year's use of this board, I found a bad cap on it during a visual check; I 'd just read (not for the first time) about these and since I had a few rare occurences in the days before ...

I found one bad Cap among the lot (so far); on my board I found a MIX of cap makers - SANYO (good) and GSC (bad).
About 'GSC' I 've read a lot of bad things on another forum / many owners reporting bad caps from this maker !!!

I 'm looking for GOOD replacement caps to do the replacement myself:
GOOD are Sanyo, Panasonic, Rubycon, Chemi-con, EPCOS (Siemens before).

Sanyo you need to look for EXR Hybrid series
Rubycon you need MCZ (or MBZ) series
EPCOS you need B41859 or B41886 series
Chemi-con you need KZE, KZG, KZH series
Panasonic you need FM or FC series (EEU-FM = 105°C /7000h)
