Hi,
I'm about to RMA the board with Gigabyte, which has one capacitor that is slightly bulged at the top. The label on the capacitor says GSC 6.3 volts 3300 uF. It hasn't caused any problems with the system yet; everything so far is stable. I saw it while I was replacing my video card. It had some rust stains on the top which I cleaned off. I stopped using the system to prevent any permanent damage.
Does anyone have experience RMAing a board with Gigabyte. They told me they have to repair my board because they don't make this board model anymore.
Id like to know if Gigabyte does a good job at replacing these capacitors. Will they replace just that one capacitor that is bulged, or all of them with non-defecive capacitors, and save me the trouble of having to rma the board? There are a couple of capacitors that are rated 1500uf which I assume would have to be replaced as well? Will Gigabyte replace them?
The image is large so I created a link to it.
