Its about time epox!!!!!

[Rob]

I opened my Epox board expeccted to see GSC and Hermei caps all over the board... Its even the cheaper model the EP-9HEAI kt890 and it has all rubycon and sanyo caps!!. I think epox may have learned their lesson and went with quality caps.

Eh... I see 2 small teapos...

still not bad

it is indeed hoped that epox have learnt their lesson, maybe we can see an end to burnt atx connector also.

Re: Its about time epox!!!!!

I can get some pics. My HP camera is pretty blurry so ill have to get out the a510 to take the pics.

I was shocked to see them myself. BIG improvement.


Ive actually been hanging around the forums for a couple months now... Since I got this board I thought it would be worth posting.

Re: Its about time epox!!!!!

I've been avoiding Epox for just that reason, with the GSC and other crap caps i've seen on them.. I've got 3 or 4 Epox boards from 2002 to early 2004 vintage, all with bad caps.. Although the latest one has Sanyo caps in the VRM section, and crap everywhere else.. I guess i might try buying an Epox board now..

Are you going to re-cap them yourself, or would you like them re-capped?

I'll eventually get around to doing them.. I've done more than a few cap replacements, so it's no big deal for me.. They all still work, but i've taken them out of service.. They'll probably hang out in my desk drawer until i need a replacement Socket A board, then i'll recap them.. Two of them are KT266A, one's a KT400, the other is a Nforce2.. I think i have an 8k7a that was "factory recapped" with all teapo's.. So make that 5 Epox boards i have that have at least some crap caps on them..
