Re: Poly Mod Success Stories

kc8adu.. again thanks, I've been blowing up these pic's and trying to get a viable count. Very frustrating. Actully can't even make out the colors of a couple by the pci busses And I don't like to ask anybody for anything.. just not the way I've carried myself thru life, which compounds the problem.
This is what I come up with, except the yellow and black electrolytics I'm assuming are 1000uf at 6.3v. ..and can be changed out with the 820uf poly's

large silver/blue are 330uf 16v Nippon Chemi-con ps. 6
smaller silver/blue...

Re: Poly Mod Success Stories

kc8adu.. Thanks, I learned long ago, anytime I can learn from another's knowledge gained by years of experience.. to do so. If you ever need help or have a question I can help with.. let me know. I build mostly chevy small block race engines, fabricate street road racers and machines. I fly RC planes and build HO scale steam loco's, and worked for Muntz stereo in a warrantee station in the late 60's and 70's.
Thanks again,
Fabricate'r

Re: Poly Mod Success Stories

wizzard.. I have a few of these boards, I like these boards... partially out of thats what I have (if you have a chevy.. fords suck type thing) and partially being thats what I can afford... but in my limited expirence, you are correct in the noise, sort of a white noise with a static overlay (sounds exactly like when one of the op amps are getting ready to fail in one of my old pioneer EQs) ...and when using the via sata ports.. they tend to drop the boot order. However it seems to be prevelent with the K8t800 chipsets.. the two K8T890 boards I have...

Re: Poly Mod Success Stories

I can see in photo 1 that you have 820's@ 2.5v installed on the cpu side of the regulators... but other than that... I cannot descern the values of the polymer caps. I have the same A8V deluxe and an A8V E SE that are both more than just ready for recapping...and I'm ready to order the caps and copy your work. Can you supply a board layout of what you replaced with what? Sent you an email regarding the same questions the other day... and again.. thanks for your time.
