Intel D101ggc

[moedraznin]

1 820MF 6.3V was leaking. Replaced, the new replacement was leaking within a few min as well, after I replaced the Power supply. (we are in the comp business so we have them laying around). NO other capacitors look bad. The computer started to give us trouble a while ago.

What can cause it to keep screwing the capacitors. Its not overclocked and all the fans are working. These intel Boards run the CPU hot. (55C) I verified with intel specs its correct.

any suggestions besides scraping it?

Re: Intel D101ggc

The capacitor is right next to the edge by the pci slot.
The replacemet was purchesed from badcaps. (these people) I even got the better capacitors....

Thanks,

Moe.

Re: Intel D101ggc

Some boards have silkscreening done the opposite way (white stripe is actually +voltage instead of ground). Check the polarity with a multimeter.

Sure enough, the voltage is backward vs the silkscreen. I will replace the cap with a new one and see how its working.

Thanks.
