Re: Abit KR7A

Thank you so much for all your help.

I've got some of the Rubycon ZL caps (new from [url]https://uk.farnell.com/rubycon/6-3zl4700mefc12-5x30/cap-4700-f-6-3v-20/dp/1144675[/url]) so I'll fit those instead, and have actually found the ChemiCon caps a little cheaper at [url]https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/United-Chemi-Con/APSG160ELL222MJ20S?qs=nxZbHzLpdvcUAIXRVD5aZg%3D%3D[/url] which is odd, as as far as I know they're the same company - but oh well

I'll get them ordered, and once fitted - I'll update this thread on how it all wentRe:...

Re: Abit KR7A

OK, so to replace the 5 output caps (3 closest the CPU and 2 the ATX power connector) which are currentl Nichicon - 3300uF 6.3v 105c x 5 (10mm dia 25mm high approx) HM(M), I will use

Given they're 16V, I guess I can use them for the two input caps as well?Re: Abit KR7A<br /> <br /> OK, so ...(10mm dia 25mm

Re: Abit KR7A



I have checked, and there is continuity between the positive leg on those caps.

I do intend to run a 1.4GHz Athlon T-Bird in this board, it has a slightly higher default vcore of 1.75v, and in the past I ran this model of board with a modification to the voltage regulator to let me take that over 2v. To give me the headroom to do that, I think using higher rated caps would be safer

I'm struggling to find any 2700uF that are > 2.5v though - so maybe I just don't modify the board further for high vcore.. or would 1500uF...

Re: Abit KR7A

Thank you for your reply.

That photo you've found looks correct. Though my board is an earlier version and has different caps to what you have in that photo. I will attach images.

Does it not matter that the caps nearest the CPU are 6.3v and the replacements you've suggested are 2.5v; and would this also apply to the 2 caps that are between the CPU socket and the ATX power connector (see attached photo)

The rest of the caps look like the Teapo ones you've mentioned - and there are around 40 in total on this board. Are you...

I have an Abit KR7A with bulging caps near the CPU.

They are Nichicon - 3300uF 6.3v 105c x 5 (10mm dia 25mm high approx) HM(M) - date code; H0140. So even if they weren't bulging, they need replacing because of that date code.

I'm based in the UK and I'm trying to find suitable replacements on CPC / Farnell.

[url]https://uk.farnell.com/nichicon/uhm0j332mpd1td/cap-3300-f-6-3v-20/dp/2113082[/url] these are the discontinued caps.

I've seen posts here suggest Rubycon 3300uF 6.3v Ultra Low ESR (MCZ) but these are EOL and the listing in the...

Hi. I'm Mark.

I have an Abit KR7A that has bulging caps, and I'm trying find alternatives as the failed caps are no longer manufactured.
