Re: MS-7100, audio problem
I guess those auctions are generated by some kind of program, that would also explain why the pic shows 8 caps while the auction is for 4 of them. If I'm gonna place an order with this seller I'm certainly going to ask about date codes.

Re: MS-7100, audio problem
The Swiss seller has MCZs [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/4-ELKO-Rubycon-MCZ-PC-Capacitors-1000uF-16V-8x21-RM3NEU-/260697862963?pt=Bauteile&hash=item3cb2cdb333]here[/url]. What about KZJs to replace the 2x 470uF 16V KZG?
Probably, I don't want to order from China for a variety of reasons, but if I had to single out one, the most important would be that I'm currently without my main PC and I can't afford to wait another 6-8 weeks to get the caps. Unfortunately ordering from the States is the same unless I fork out for express...Leave a comment:

Re: MS-7100, audio problem
Well I tried the local store just in case (...but no sir, no luck for you this year!)
It'd be no problem ordering them online, so just let me know what would work best on my mainboard. In the past I was even lucky getting a couple t-shirts and stuff from the States, but there's a definite chance customs will delay and/or impose crazy fees on the package - so I'd leave that as a last ditch option.
Searching eBay turned up what it appears to be an ample supply of 1000uF 10/16V MBZs (are these ok?) but most sellers are all located...Last edited by 939mark; 11-25-2010, 08:11 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: MS-7100, audio problem
They're all 8 mm diameter except the G-Lux On which reads a 5.4 or 5.5 mm on the caliper. Thanks to your tip yyonline, I found out the G-Lux On is a SM. I live in Italy so there would be one headache less to buy them within the UE.
BTW I paid a visit to a local store and was offered ELNA-branded caps rated for 105°C to replace the 1000 uF HN, HM and the 470 uF KZG, but I couldn't spot the series code. Are these worth a second look?Leave a comment:

Re: MS-7100, audio problem
Fine then, I need some directions about replacements for these caps:
HM(M) 1000 uF 10V
HN(M) 1000 uF 16V
KZG 470 uF 16V
G-Lux On 100 uF 6.3V...Leave a comment:

Re: MS-7100, audio problem
First thing first: thanks to both of you for replying
It looks like those caps are connected to the ports which TBH didn't give me any trouble until that point. Anyway: assuming they have indeed already failed, there should be gunk on the underside, right?
Well at this point I'm looking at 1 HM, 4 HN and 2 KZG = 7 caps as a bare minimum. There are other 9 slightly bent caps (FJs and FLs) near the CPU socket and one FJZ near the PCI-E slots, although considering where they are located it seems...Leave a comment:

MS-7100, audio problem
Sooo, my main machine is based on a MS-7100 K8N SLI Platinum. It has been rock solid about until a couple weeks ago when it started randomly BSODding with a STOP 124 error code. Typically this happened when playing games but simple web browsing could trigger it as well (probably flash-related)
The sound card is a Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic (PCI of course), although replacing it with other PCI audio cards only made things worse. Eventually, after I had tried anything I could think of, by pure chance I spotted a leaking cap halfway through the socket and the slot area.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello!
name's Marco, from Italy. Despite decades of using computers I've never had the pleasure of having a cap die on me. So, many years after finding out about this site I finally signed up.
Thank you in advance
