Yikes! Teapo! Well I hope this board doesn't get the 'flu'. I just built a new system for a client before finding out this information. Hopefully it will, if it does fail, fall under the Epox warranty period and they'll fix it. One of my friends is going to do his own work on an 8RDA+.

I may not get a straight answer from an Epox rep in one of the online forums i frequent, but i'm going to post there about this caps issue and see what he tells me. I hope they don't lie to me, i just may change mfgs if they do.

Here's to no caps issues!

I've built two complete systems using the subject motherboard and have been somewhat keeping track of the caps issue. Question is...Sanyo and Teapo caps, any issues with them on the Epox line of boards (say 8RDA+, 8RDA3+, and the subject boards)?

I noticed in the Other items with bad caps forum that Sanyo and Teapo were mentioned. The Sanyo's have a "K" style relief top, whereas the Teapo have an asterix "*" style relief cap. Both subject motherboards are rev 3.1 or greater.

I've heard nothing but good things about Epox until today in the forums...
