I bought this board together with my first modern Pentium a while ago (Pentium III Tualatin 1133MHz w 512kB L2-cache); primary use: viewing films (DivX,XviD,DVD, ...)
Since I 've found bad caps on my main rig recently, I checked this one visually for the same problem.
To my dismay, I found 1 cap starting to bulge (Vcore regulator) ...
For the moment it still runs fine, but I fear that won't last for very long!
I 'm looking to buy some replacement caps for this and the other one (my main rig EPOX 8RDA+ rev1.1 from some weeks ago).
[ For the moment I 'm working from an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe with Rubycon MBZ series caps on it !!! ]
