Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
So my multimeter arrived. I'm not sure what you mean by 5vsb and 3vsb. The manual for my motherboard is [URL="http://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/122-CK-NF68.pdf"]here[/URL]. Are there any specific components I should test first? Definitely going to test the caps I changed and anything in its area, and I guess I should test the power header.
I'm checking out some videos on how to use the multimeter right now.Re: Do I need to use the same exact model...

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
yeah I did reconnect it. Ill try again, maybe I had a loose connection. Anyway I ordered a multimeter, so I'll run those tests in a few days. Thanks for all your help so far!Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
Alright, so they arrived, and I was able to force the PSU on. The fans worked. So I take it the PSU is fine, at least fine enough to power a couple of fans. Any other things I can try to figure out why the board won't get any power? If I buy a multimeter, how can I test components and the board itself more importantly?...Leave a comment:

I just bought 100 on amazon for $5, with amazon prime thats free shipping and I'll have it monday. What do to with the other 99 hahaLeave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
Great, I'll try and get some by monday, these days its hard to come by electronic stores and they said they didn't have any at radio shack.... I think I'll just purchase them online and report back when I get it done. Or I might strip apart an extra sata cable I have lying around and use that.Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
OK, so I tried unplugging everything and only leaving in two of the fans connected to the PSU. When I turn the power on the PSU on, I don't get any movement whatsoever, I don't even hear a sound. The PSU fan doesn't jerk at all, not even when everything was plugged in, let alone only the case fans.
I'm not sure which green wire you're talking about, is it the one in the picture i attached? Also don't know what jumper wire is, do I just take any wire I have lying around, stick it in...Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
I don't have another system to test the PSU on, at least not a system I'm willing to mess with. Although I doubt it was the PSU because it should still let the motherbard POST as it was before right?
I do want to show you guys the results of my cap replacements (5 pics attached, sorry its really hard to take a picture of the back of the board so that probably won't be very useful), as well as the LED which lights up on the board (2 pics attached, one for on and one for off) when...Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
I can get a multimeter, haven't ever used one, but this has been a fun learning experience. Not sure what you mean by a post card?
I know I inserted the caps correctly, at least polarity wise. Regarding it being able to start post,the computer would actually boot all the way into my operating system for about 5 seconds before restarting prior to me recapping it. I took it apart and saw the busted caps, so I figured that was the issue.Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
No I didn't know that I had to remove the battery. I just researched [URL="http://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/122-CK-NF68.pdf"]how to remove the cmos battery on my board[/URL] and the instructions say to just switch the jumper cap. I did that and its still not turning on.
I didn't completely understand the instructions though, steps 1 and 2 sound the same to me, but I plugged the power supply back in after I switched the jumper cap to pin 2 and 3 and...Last edited by giyad; 04-14-2016, 11:36 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
So I received the capacitors and replaced them. It wasn't too bad actually, pretty simple to replace. The only issue now is, my computer won't turn on. Most likely I either damaged the board, the parts are not correct, or I didn't actually do a good job with replacing them like I thought I did.
Does anyone know how I can test the board alone? When I plug it into power, an LED (SV STBY is what it says next to it) on the board lights up, so maybe I just have a loose connection, but...Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
That would have been great but [URL="http://www.rubycon.co.jp/en/products/old_replace/index.html"]Rubycon [/URL]doesn't have any of the caps I'm replacing in their lists on their website. Its like they were all custom for this board. Anyway, those sheets are good to know about, I've already ordered my replacement parts just waiting on them to arrive. I'll let you guys know how it goes.Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
Excellent thanks! Yeah the reason I ask is because all the polymer caps are around 5A or 6A and the ones I'm replacing are 3A and 2A....Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
[QUOTE=rhomanski;643614]
So if the ripple is much higher it doesn't matter? For example if the ripple is 2.2A and I get a 6A ripple that's fine? And an 8mohm esr instead of 12. Sorry to ask these questions multiple times but you guys just said yes and I'm a noob so I want to make sure questions didn't get overlooked.
Ok I'll get polymer caps for all then just need to make sure the size fits. I can't find small enough polymer caps for the samxon, I need 8mm so gonna...Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
So if I were to use poly caps, I just need the right capacitance and same or higher voltage? Everything else doesn't matter? Like I said the only issue is that I don't know what the ESR or Ripple are for this one capacitor. So my issue is that even if I decide to use a poly cap, how do I make sure its a good substitute?
If the Ripple of my capacitor is 2.2A, can I use one that is 6A?...Last edited by giyad; 03-28-2016, 06:21 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
I don't know enough about caps. As I understand, I still need the ESR and Ripple whether they are polymer or electrostatic... The issue is that I don't have the ESR or Ripple of the MFZ cap....Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
How can I get you exact locations for the caps on the motherboard? Or does that picture I posted suffice? Just trying to see if the caps I chose are good replacements so I can order them and start soldering. I definitely know that these are all pretty close to the CPU.
I can't find the HN or HZ Nichicons in stock. Would like to get a replacement without waiting weeks if possible. If all that matters is the ESR and the Ripple since these are on the northbridge, I think...Leave a comment:

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
Can you recommend an iron for this job?

Re: Do I need to use the same exact model and series or can I use any similar capacit
It can get too hot?
I filed it down and got it shiny again, and then tried to get some solder on it. I actually was able to, but not on the tip of the tip, just around the angle. I tried then putting it to my board, but the caps are soldered on there pretty well, I guess I need some solder braid to make sure the solder comes off before it just hardens back on....Leave a comment:

Does the image I attached of my tip look like its oxidized? Its the first time I use the soldering iron, so it shouldn't be oxidized, but my .022" diameter lead-free solder is not sticking to the tip....Leave a comment:
