Re: DFI LANParty nF3 250GB going wonky, and bad caps

The Nichicons were all made during '05, that might explain it.

So you are suggesting I grab Rubycon MBZ for the whole board?

Nobody replied in my [URL=http://]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?p=87951#post87951[/URL] but all I really want is what caps should I replace them with.

The mobo is a DFI LANParty UT nF3 250Gb.

List of caps:

- 20 x Nichicon 1000uF 6.3v HM 105C
- 5 x Chemi-con KZG 1000uF 10V
- 1 x Chemi-con KZG 470uF 16V
- 4 x Chemi-con KZG 1500uF 16V
- 6 x Chemi-con KZG 3300uF 6.3V
- 18 x Chemi-con KMG 100uF 16V
- 4 x Chemi-con KMA 100uF 16V

The two caps that went visibly bad are Nichicons.

Bought that motherboard off eBay, like, 2 months ago. Looked fine at the eye, so I used it for a month. Got my ML-30 CPU to 333 x 8 at start which I was happy about. After some fizzling during the month of use I noticed that I couldn't overclock like before, no matter the voltage I couldn't get past 330 anymore.

Noticed during the whole time that I used it that, if I did not have the right settings in, the computer would display a "nVidia IDE RAID" search screen then restart. It was VERY picky about the RAM settings and HT speed. Something that nobody using that board...
