Hello,
I have an older motherboard that had 3 leaking capacitors. The board is ~5 years old.
Leaking caps were:
-2x1000nF - 6,3V
-1x2200nF - 6,3V
All were GSC's.
The only capacitors that I found as replacement were: Jamicon TK series 1000nF and 2200nF of 10V.
I found specifications on their website, you may take a closer look here:
Since the recapping the PC works great, no more sudden lockups, but I'm not sure how long will it last. I don't really understand the meaning of low ESR. At Jamicon's website, the TK series represents the standard series. Are they good for my MB or how long will they last?
How long may a MB last, even if it has been recapped with high quality caps?
Would it be usefull to recap a 4 year old Abit KT7A MB with quality caps? It comes arround 35$ with shipping.
On another PC at the PSU there is one 1000nF 16v cap leaking, I found as replacement Jamicon TK series with the needed values. What should I do? The leaking cap is marked with LOW ESR.
Thanks, omuletz
