    Asrock Alivenfsp-vsta Should I recap it?

    I have that mobo http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.as...F6P-VSTA&s=AM2 and it has the following caps

    4 United Chemi-con KZG 1000 UF 16V (Filtering the 12V input)
    3 Nichicon HM 1500 uF 6,3V made in 2008 (I don't know its function, they are close to the CPU socket)
    6 OST RLX 1500 uF 6,3V in the Vcore output
    The rest are Evercon LE 1000 uF 6,3V.
    The motherboard is new (2008)
    I read that the OST and Evercon (GSC) are bad caps, maybe they improved as 2008?
    I need to recap it?
    I notice the Vcore fluctuates a lot.
    Many thanks.

      ASRock N100M, no picture no boot, but semi-alive
      by Exim
      Hi guys,
      I managed to semi-kill an ASRock N100M board after updating Bios from 1.10 to 2.01. It's a zombie now, dead, but not dead.

      ASRock N100M special features:
      - CPU soldered to board, small Intel 12th gen
      - iGPU
      - four POST LEDs

      Problem after updating Bios to 2.01 using the in-Bios update tool: no picture, no boot.
      I am not sure anymore if it booted at least once successfully after updating the bios to 2.01, maybe not, I can't remember. I think it did not.

      Symptoms:
      - no picture/signal on any of the display connectors,...

      What IC does AsRock usually use to make the PWM signals for GPU fans ?
      by MasterCap
      I have an AsRock Taichi 7900xtx, and the minimum fan speed is way too high at 1000rpm, and thats with it's Quiet BIOS switch on, and me setting the fan profile as low as it goes, while on.

      Now 1 thing I could do is just make some circuit to put in between the fan the the GPU, and leave the fan on all the time, but anytime the GPU is sending the PWM for min speed, I'll just send something lower and quieter.

      But does anyone know what how AsRock usually sends the PWM to the fans on GPUs and mobo's? Is it from the MCU that's often near the 12V inputs and fan jack ? Or is...

      ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
      by momaka
      Here’s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
      This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF caps… which aren’t any good news either.

      So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:

      BIOS .bin file for ASRock B450M Steel Legend
      by nolaryie
      Hi, I’m looking for a clean, working BIOS .bin dump (16MB) for the ASRock B450M Steel Legend motherboard.


      I’ve already tried flashing the official ASRock ROM file via CH341A, but it won’t post — I believe the capsule format is incompatible.


      Any BIOS version that supports Ryzen 5 2600 is fine (e.g., P2.30–P3.60).


      If anyone has a working board and can dump the BIOS using CH341A or flashrom, I would really appreciate your help.


      Thank you!

      Full BIOS Dump for ASRock H310M-HDV Rev 1.02 (MX25L12873F)
      by khanhtq0
      Hello everyone,

      I'm looking for a full BIOS dump (.bin) for the ASRock H310M-HDV Rev 1.02 motherboard. The BIOS chip is a MX25L12873F (128Mb / 16MB).

      I’ve already tried flashing the official BIOS from ASRock (version 1.40 and 3.30), but those are Instant Flash versions and don’t include the full SPI image (e.g. Intel ME Region, Descriptor, etc.). After flashing, the board powers on only when I short PS-ON to ground, and it fails to generate Vcore and 2.5V. Other rails like 1.05V and RAM voltage are present.

      I suspect the original Intel ME and descriptor...
