Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

I will probably need help eventually to find these caps. I will contact the site owner when I am ready first

So I have noticed you guys mention input/ouput related caps. How do I tell the difference? Also, how would I go about finding info on what each cap is responsible for? (i.e. caps nearest the CPU are most likely Vcore responsible, etc.)

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

Okay, how does this look?

Liquid caps:

(03 total) Rubycon MCZ 6.3V, 3300uF, 9ESR, 3230 ripple
(04 total) Rubycon ZLG 16V, 1200uF, ?ESR, 2360 ripple

Solid caps:

(09 total) Nippon ChemiCon NPCAP-PSC Series 2.5V, 560uF, 7ESR, 6100 ripple.
(03 total) Nippon ChemiCon NPCAP-PSC Series 10V, 680uF, 7ESR, 6100 ripple.
(19 total) Nichicon LF Series 10V, 270uF, 8ESR, 4900 ripple.
(04 total) Nichicon LF Series 16V, 270uF, 9ESR, 4800 ripple.

Not replacing:...

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

Nippon Chemicon NPCAP PSC series: 2.5V, 560uF, 7ESR & 6100 ripple.
Nichicon LF series: 2.5V, 560uF, 6ESR & 4800 ripple

Looks like these would be the top 2 then....I would think the 7ESR & 6100 ripple would be #1 right?

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

Which of these solid Vcore caps would be better?

Nippon Chemicon NPCAP PSC series: 2.5V, 560uF, 7ESR & 6100 ripple.
Nichicon LF series: 2.5V, 560uF, 6ESR & 4800 ripple
Fujitsu FPCAP RE Series L8 Type : 2.5V, 560uF, 6ESR & 4400 ripple.
Sanyo OSCON SEPC: 2.5V, 560uF, 8ESR & 4700 ripple.

I think low ESR and high ripple are best right?

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

LOL, I just made a list of caps I would need if I went with all liquid caps. The Solid cap list seems like it is going to take alot of research...ugh

(03 total) Rubycon MCZ 6.3V, 3300uF, 9ESR, 3230 ripple
(03 total) Rubycon MCZ 10V, 1000uF, 18ESR, 1850 ripple
(04 total) Rubycon MCZ 16V, 470uF, 21ESR, 1340 ripple

(19 total) Rubycon ZLG 10V, 470uF, ?ESR, 1000 ripple
(04 total) Rubycon ZLG 16V, 1200uF, ?ESR, 2360 ripple
(03 total) Rubycon ZLG 25V, 22uF, ?ESR, 350 ripple
(01 total)...

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

So basically you guys are saying to use a combination of caps?

Chemicon PSA
Sanyo OSCON SEP
and maybe Rubycon MCZ?

I will probably re-cap my rev 302 board first. If successful, then maybe I will attempt the rev 304 board.

Just curious, but how much would it cost for this do be done by an experienced pro? (like one of you)

I still need to buy all the tools you guys list in the FAQ.

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

"you can use half capacitance polymer to replace wet electrolytics."

What are the equivalent solid caps to the following liquid caps?

(3 total) 6.3V, 3300uF

(19 total) 10V, 470uF

(3 total) 10V, 1000uF

(4 total) 16V, 470uF

(4 total) 16V, 1200uF

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

Check out xtremesytems ...alot of people there are using this same motherboard and there are plenty of OC options and OC mods. I have already done the OC Debug BIOS mod on my rev 304 board. I'm just waiting for my E6600. I currently am using a rev 302 with a Pentium D 950.

I plan to lap my E6600 and possibly my North and South bridge heatsinks. I just ordered some very nice Zalman heatsinks for the North bridge and CPU and GPU. I had a Scthye Ninja before, but there are a few things I do not like about it. The Zalman CPU and GPU...

[B]"the red silver are probably fujitsu
[url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1744[/url]
they have a good spec"[/B]

If the Sanyo OSCON SEPC are so good for Vcore, then why does my rev 304 board have the Fujitsu caps? And how do they compare?

[B]"All values you quote are liquid cap specs."[/B]

If that is the case, then how did this guy use all solid caps???

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

Okay...then it looks like this is the list of caps I need (Guess I will leave the vcore caps and the little caps not worth replacing):

(3 total) 6.3V, 3300uF

(19 total) 10V, 470uF

(3 total) 10V, 1000uF

(4 total) 16V, 470uF

(4 total) 16V, 1200uF

1. Should I get solid or liquid capacitors?
2. Depending on the answer to #1, which brand?

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

Silver and Red around the CPU.

Also, what do you mean by forget those caps? Which caps (Voltage/uF) would I use in their place? Or are you saying I do not need them at all....or leave them as is (do not remove them)?...

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

I gave the voltage and uF of each cap above. Do you need the Manufacturer too?

Oh, and the pic above...I have 9 caps total. The first marking is on the motherboard. The second set of markings are on the cap:

C2D1 = 612 561 2.5V
C2D7 = 613 561 2.5V
C2D9 = 613 561 2.5V
C2E1 = 611 561 2.5V
C2C1 = 613 561 2.5V
C2C2 = 612 561 2.5V
C3C1 = 613 561 2.5V
C3C2 = 612 561 2.5V
C3C3 = 613 561 2.5V

That pic is from a rev 302.

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

I have my reasons for liking Intel boards...any way, back to to my original questions:

I just mapped out my board with all the capacitors I will need:

6.3V, 220uF
6.3V, 3300uF

10V, 470uF
10V, 1000uF

16V, 470uF
16V, 1200uF

25V, 22uF
25V, 33uF
25V, 100uF
25V, 220uF

And the final three are a little weird...no clue what they are. They have the following markings:

611 561 2.5V
612 561 2.5V
...

Re: Intel D975XBX Cap Mod Questions

I just want to replace them for better OC capability, longer lifespan, better stability, and the bling factor! LOL

So are "Aluminium Electrolytic Polymer Capacitors" better than "Aluminium Electrolytic Wet Capacitors"?

These are the caps I was told that I need:

6.3v 820uf for pcie/ram/pci
16v 470uf for pwm
10v 330uf for others

Also, how would I go about finding out which caps I can just remove without replacing? For instance, I have no need for the onboard...
