Hello gamingcs,
now that was coincidence. I haven't checked in the forum for weeks, and right to your question I'm back.
I'll send you a pm...

Re: Asus A7N8X Deluxe - 6 bad caps, but board still stable
Hey thanks for the address, I didn't know that shop before! But I'll keep it in mind if I need anything in the future, they seem to have a big sortiment at fair prices. At least my needed Caps were by far the cheapest at this shop, compared to the other ones I checked before (13,40€ for 10 pieces Rubycon MBZ, including shipping).
But now I'll get them from a private guy. (10,50€ for 12 Caps, including shipping, also Rubycon MBZ.)...

Gonzo, yes it's a bit tricky to find caps with just the right specs (if you don't wanna spend 4€ per cap
). I've found a message in a hardware forum from a guy who says that he has a bigger number of Rubycon MBZ left for sale. I'll try this first, could be the cheapest way.
Bielefeld is in NRW (Nordrhein-Westfalen)

Yes, I read that, too. That's probably the case, rather than bad electrolyte....Leave a comment:

Yes, it seems only the Nichicons are bad, all others are OK.
Got mine around June 2003. I think that's when the first rev 2.0's came out.
Yes, thanks, but I'll have to see what I get here for a reasonable price....Last edited by Alex77; 07-13-2006, 03:07 AM.Leave a comment:

Nope, it's definitely a rev 2.0 board.
But I was also wondering why I have these Nichicon HM(M)'s on my board anyway. Reportedly they have been mainly used in Dell, Intel and Apple boards.
Probably I have caught some minor edition.

Yeah, I'll do this. Better some work now, than a dead PC later.
I'll just have to search a new home for my ants...

Asus A7N8X Deluxe - 6 bad caps, but board still stable
Here's my Horror Capinet:
It's the infamous Nichicon HM(M) series...
Looks really bad, doesn't it? And I even have already removed most of the stuff some months ago, it just kept coming again.
The weird thing is just that my system is still running stable (albeit from the usual Windows problems). It's basically running 24/7 and I haven't experienced any instability so far. No blue screens or freezes.
Should I replace the caps nonetheless? Can they destroy the mainboard...
