My Gigabyte motherboard GA-X58A-UD3R asks for:
1 x 8-pin ATX 12V power connector.
However, my Seasonic S12 Energy Plus SS-650HT has a 4 pin ATX 12V connector and an eight pin ESP12V connector.
Is the ESP12V connector okay for the ATX 12V requirement?

Is an ESP12V usable in place of ATX 12V?

Re: Recommended STABLE Motherboard?
Ideally something new, I haven't had an upgrade in a few years.. I don't necessarily need something expensive - just a motherboard from a trusted source.Leave a comment:

Recommended STABLE Motherboard?
I've had a quick look around and haven't found an answer to my questions and as a seasoned forum admin and moderator myself I apologize if the answer does lie here somewhere.
Now my questions, can anyone recommend a motherboard that is of a good quality build, stable and not likely to have bad caps?
Also is there a particular brand out there that hasn't been affected by the bad cap phenomena - or any that were but have actively dealt with the problem effectively and won't leave me high and dry? -
Re: Coloured capacitors - mean?
The capacitor in question has KZG on it, if I'm not mistaken that's supposed to be a reliable type?Leave a comment:

Coloured capacitors - mean?
I've recently bought an old MSI motherboard with 4 x 1500uf 16v capacitors one of which is showing very obvious bulging on top.
These caps are brown in colour - I'm unclear as to what this means, should I only replace with brown caps (what do the colours mean)?
Apologies to the informed for what may seem a silly question.
