This board ran fine for over a year with an Opty 144. I decided to upgrade to a dual core opty 170 for folding work and immediately experienced blue screen crashes. The Stock CPU cooler was warm, Northbridge heat sink however was very hot. Visual inspection of the caps showed 7 UC KZG 6.5v 1000uF located near the north bridge to have a very very slight bulge. There's other UC caps of the same rating on the board but these look ok. I replaced the "bad" caps with Panny FM 10v 1200uF and it's folding now 
. Should I replace the rest of the UC caps? There's 1 behind the USB port, a few between the PCI and PCIe slots and also by the memory slots.
