What posts would I connect to to read the vcore value?...

Re: Biostar M7VIQ SOCKET A Heat Issue

To followup, replaced the other two caps with matching values. One of the two caps I left had since swelled as well. Replaced that and the other that still looked good, yet temps are still high @ 67 degrees Celsius 153 Degrees F.

Any help appreciated. Side cover is off. Internal ventilation is good. CPU fan working ok...

Probably a good point, but should that be making a difference in the cpu temp; at this point? I would think that with the replacement of 4 obviously swollen caps the temps would have dipped to a noticable degree regardless of Low ESR or General Purpose caps having been placed on the board.

I'll see if I can post a hex dump of the system from CPUZ or Everest....

I have installed a Biostar M7VIQ SOCKET A with a XP 1700+ in a backup machine. Problem is CPU temps reach 71 degrees C.

I did notice 2 bulging and raised caps with values @ 3300mf 6.3v and ended up replacing 4 in total, and still the temp remains near 66 degrees C. There were 6 in a row next to the socket 462 ZIF.

Originals were OST I.Q 6.3v 3300mf 105c and were replaced with 3300mf 6.3v 85c.

I did leave two more that showed no sign of bulging. Should I just bite the bullet and replace those as well? Cost was $1.25 each.

(edit) I have...
