My Mom had a machine I built a couple years ago with this board. It had been giving her lots of trouble as of late and I replaced it. Well, I was hoping I could use the board/cpu/memory to replace same in my server, which is on a ECS K7S5A, which I noticed is starting to blow caps when I dusted it last month.
Of course its not that simple and the NFII is to the point of launching caps.
I actually have no idea how it was running at all. No wonder it wouldnt stay running.
Just as an experiment, Im going to try recapping it. If it works, new server. If not, 5.56x45mm..
Heres a pic of the VRM area.
Do you think there is any latent damage to the board from that one venting onto it?
I got these cap sizes.
16v
470uf x4
1500uf x4
10v
1000uf x3
6.3v
3300uf x6
1000uf x5
470uf x2
I can just replace those 10v parts with 6.3v ones right? Seems to be alright from my reading. I cant seem to find any 6.3v 470uf parts. 16v would be alright there?
