Re: Asus P3V4X After recapping regulator gets hotter

I still have a few questions.

It's allright that I use a higher value for the CPU VRM for better filtering? 1500uF or maybe 2200uF instead of the normal 1200uF.

I can only buy the following capacitors.

Nichicon HM 1500uF 6.3v 10mm x 20mm
Nichicon HN 1500uF 6.3v 10mm x 20mm
Rubycon ZL 1500uF 6.3v 10mm x 20mm

Which of these are simply the best to take for the VRM's?

For the smaller ones I only can get the following: (8mm, lead spacing 2.5)

Yes, that's correct. 10mm, 6.3v 1200uF.

I allready had my doubts about Yageo but I never had bad caps from them on a motherboard before, not that I know of that is. I did see a lot of bad Teapo's but now I know it's the same crap.

Back in the days (2003-2005) when I worked in a computershop, I bought Rubycon ZL capacitors or the big green nichicons (wich were often used by MSI) for a recap. I thought the small ones i used (1000uF) were mostly Rubycon XYG.

The Yageo capacitors were easy to...

Hi all,

This will be my thirst thread over here!

I have an Asus P3V4X motherboard. After 10 years of use i thought to give it some service. The caps used on this motherboard are:

Rubycon ZL for regulators for AGP and CPU.
Sanyo SE for other filtering and stuff.

I know that these capacitors are good, but After 10 years of use they are getting old and some get warm to.

I replaced the capacitors by the Yageo SY series. (low esr, low impedance)
The system is more stable now, so that's a good thing!

The problem...
