    asus p4b with bad nichicons!

    i will take good pics in the morning before i repair.
    bad batch? counterfiets?

    are those quite short fat yellow ones? i have several 3 Asus CUSL2-M boards from ebay and they all have rubycon/sanyo and one nichicon. On one of the boards, the nichicon cap looked to be slightly pushed up at the vents but I did not worry cos it was nichicon. i will get a pic and more info tomorrow. board is stable otherwise. perhaps the same batch but who knows.

    would like to see your pics though.

    what about excessive heat, overclocking....

      they are 1200@16
      black with the normal nichicon print.
      the hsf was bad too and the board was dirty so cant rule out long term overheating.worst of all this board is owned by a pc tech at the store who should know better than to let a box get clogged up with dust.
      i saved the caps and will post pics.

        I saw a Gigabyte KT600 board today with 5 blown 3300uf Nichicon's, and 1 1000uf Nichicon. board was not very dirty, but the heatsink was completely clogged full of dirt and cigarette tar. It also had 2 1500 uf Sanyo's that looked fine.
