Re: P4P800S 100uF@16.0v VS. 100uF@10.0v

I can't power up this board at this time :/

They add like 4bucks to my cap order I figure why the hell not.

I'm recapping a few boards at once so I'm trying to consolidate the cap types to keep the item number down. Of all the boards I'm doing the P4P800S is the only one with stock 16.0v 100uF caps, the rest are 10.0v or 6.3v.

I'm not claiming to know everything but I can't see 16.0v being needed (all the boards have these 100uF sprinkled liberally all over so I doubt they carry 12v). And to boot 100uF@16.0v Rubys are 6mm which would be tight on most boards and completely not happening on 2 (10.0v are 5mm and would work on these 2).

As of right now I plan to order Rubycon...

Re: Gigabyte GA-7VTXE - Bad Caps

I hate to necro a thread twice (thrice?) but I have a problem with my GA-7VAX r1.1 . I pulled the 3300uF and 1500uF caps because they had failed and pulled all the 1000uF for good mesure but I have lost my notes on what size went where!! (f*** me I know) So if anyone could list where the caps go that would be much appreciated.

Also would it be recommend to swap the 4x3300uF for 9x1500uF (or something around 1500uF)? Lower total ESR makes me think I should.
