    Gigabyte GA-7VTXH

    Hi Guys,

    I have a Gigabyte GA-7VTXH Rev 1.1.

    [URL=http://img247.*************/my.php?image=123tu3.jpg][IMG]http://img247.*************/img

    I have removed the 3 capacitors indicated by the arrows. The odd thing is that i think this mobo has already been recapped. I say this because although the three capacitors LOOKED the same, one was a different brand with a different rating.

    I had 1x CHOYO 330uf 25v (black)
    2x CHOYO 1200uf 6.3v (green)

    In my experience (limited) tightly packed rows of capacitors are normally all the same value? (t/f?)

    And secondly does anyone have this motherboard so they could check for me please?

    What would likely happen if i used 1200uf 6.3 to replace all 3?

    And with respect to panasonic are FM series better than FC? (FM seems to have longer life)

    Cheers in advance

      Dear Friend,
      My experience tells me to replace all the capacitors and bad capacitors always have no any viewable sign. *

        GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2 - Stuck at Debug Code C2 - don't like Patriot Viper Steel RAM but works with G.SKILL
        by DynaxSC
        Hi,

        I discovered a strange behaviour of GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2 board.

        General test conditions:
        - Tested with Core i5 6500 and Core I7 6700K - no difference
        - Default BIOS settings, but tried also altering several memory setting - does not change anything

        What is wrong:

        With BIOS F1 and F2 the board normally POST's and boots to Windows 11 with 2 x Patriot Viper Steel PVS416G440C9K RAM (4400MHZ, Samsung B-Die chips)

        When BIOS upgraded to anything above F2 (ie. F20-F27b) the board POST stucks after 3 Debug Codes on Code C2

        A Dead/DOA Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU
        by momaka
        More eBay specials: this time a Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU for $8 with free S&H. Listed “For part/not working”, as usual. Showed up in a beat up EVGA box without any padding… but that's understandable given the total price. PSU made it out fine without damage. It's a non-modular (yay!), pretty modern-day looking PSU with a black paint and all black cables (meh, not my favorite, but figure it's good to keep a few of these in case I do need one for a more modern PC build, just so my old gray boxes don't look too odd in there.)
