Re: Dell Precision 470 Workstation
bigcape; If you want you can buy the mainboard from me that I recapped in the beginning of this thread, because I don't use it anymore
It is a version (as you can see) with no Poly caps near the CPU VRM
That version does not support the dual core Xeon processor, which I wanted to use.
So I bought a later revision of the mainboard, that comes standard with Poly caps... Works great...
If you still want to recap your with Polys I can open up my system and take a look what Poly caps it uses
But it is strange yours would kill the Rubycon capacitors, the reason mine failed was it used the known bad Nichicon HM capacitors
Rubycon should not fail, and the first capacitors to fail should be the ones near the CPU (if they are electrolytic, and not Poly capacitors)
On your board you seem to imply that the input VRM caps have failed, that would sound to me that the reason is your powersupply is faulty
Genuine Rubycon capacitors should not fail on this mainboard (It could also be that your capacitors are not genuine Rubycon capacitors, it is very hard to make out on your photo, the colors look all wrong but that could be to the way you took the photo aswell)
