Re: Asus X99 Over heating Capacitor

also did a test on the transistor (what i believe it to be) the first component to warm up in my previous freeze test video

Re: Asus X99 Over heating Capacitor

Hello

I put a multimeter on the 2 capacitors and they have the correct voltage across them. here is the video of the freeze spray test. i hope this helps.

Thank you all for your help!...

Re: Asus X99 Over heating Capacitor



Hello, Yes. Both power supplies (from other working pc's) sow the same issue.

Thanks...

Re: Asus X99 Over heating Capacitor

Hi
Thank you all for the replies. It seems its not just the capacitor thatoverheats. Those 2 black square components also overheat. If i put a heat sink on them and take the fan away the pc run a few more mnutes but again the capacitor gets red hot and hangs. So i think your right its not just a capacitor issue. not sure where i can go from here

Thanks

Hello All
Im hoping you can help me. I bought an Asus x99 from ebuyer.co.uk to replace a failing motherboard. From the get go it would randomly hang. even if i left it running in the BIOS setup it would hang so i raised an RMA and sent it back to Ebuyer.co.uk however i did forget to install the CPU cover so they returned it to me without even checking it saying i voided there returns policy even thou it was sent back in the original anti static bag and packaging.
So im stuck with the motherboard. i decided to try and find the fault and found a single capacitor gets RED HOT even too...
