Re: Msi g31m3-f (ms-7528)

Hello again! i was warking today with the board!!! here are some pictures! OST capacitors were in terrible condition!!! they are the worst capacitors i have ever seen!!!...

Re: Msi g31m3-f (ms-7528)

Re: Msi pm8m3-v

what did you believe cause the agp problem? capacitors or some mosfet problem?

Re: Msi g31m3-f (ms-7528)

Thank you very much for your repply "c hegge"! i will post again with my procedure! is it good to replace and all the kzg's at the same time? what is your opinion about the existing board? can these msi be survived only with a recap? thanks again!

Hello and nice to meet you to the forum! I bought this board with bad caps! the previous owner says that is not working at all! i bought it in order to do a full recap espacially on the vrm cirquit! it has nine OST capacitors 680uf 4v on the vrm and the bulged ones are 6. i was thinking of using the nichicon S8 series 560uf 6.3 volt with 0.008 esr in order to change all the Ost and i want to ask you if it is a good choice or may i buy some panasonic fm or fr which are cheaper but the efr is 0.056! i am asking you your opinion because i am afraid of the survival of this board but on the other side...

Re: Msi pm8m3-v

Hello and nice to meet you in badcaps forum! i want to ask if the board works better now with the 7x820uf poly's on the vrm because the overall capacitance now is a lot higher than before with the 3x680uf OST!
