Re: Asrock K7S8X R3.0

Hello pippolippi

I bought those caps (and some 3300uF panasonic FJ) to recap an epox 8rda+ mainboard. They dont look like fakes to me.
The board is working fine without problems now.

Hello,

a few days ago i decided to buy an Asrock 775 4COREDUAL VSTA mainboard from a friend. However, when he uninstalled the board from his case and removed his CPU, he somehow damaged the empty cpu socket.
After a close look i found out that actually two pins (D4 and D5) where damaged.
Its looks like the upper parts of the contact plates broke off, so they have no contact to the CPU.
Since now he refused to put his 6300 Core Duo back in the mainboard for testing, because he fears that it could be damaged. Maybe really a reason for concern? Now i wonder...

Re: Aopen Z400-08FC PSU?

Thank you all for your quick answers.
I cant find an UL# code on the sticker, only a P/N:56.04400.A310 and S/N, but if SPI means it was build by Sparkle/Fortron, then its Ok.
Everything i need is a PSU with at least decent quality.

Re: Aopen Z400-08FC PSU?

I took two photos with my digicam.

It starts with SPI.

Hello,

A few days ago i bought two 350W AOpen PSUs without knowing the exact name / model no.. My hope was that they were build by Fortron like my old 300W PSU.
Today i recieved the parcel and i found out that i bought two "Z400-08FC" PSUs.
The PSUs have the following specifications:

+3,3V: 20A
+5V: 20A
+3,3/5V = 130W max.
+12V1: 10A
+12V2: 13A
+12V1+V2 = 276W max.
+5Vsb: 2.5A
ATX 2.2
Rohs
PFC (passive)
20/24Pin
80mm fan

I looked inside of one of them...

Re: Asrock Dual SATA II --- Replaced some Ost caps and other tweaks

Thank you for your detailed answer.
Today i tried to find that small vrm controller chip near the LPT, but i am not certain if i found it. The small chip right beside the LPT (left corner of LPT on my picture) has the following name: ST E252 - ST75185C - MRC 540.
I guess it has something to do with COM/LPT etc. ?
A bit further down + left is a small 8-pin chip called RT9209 - PS8G118 (hard to read). The Sata2 Board uses a RT9202 PS8B703 Chip instead.
Is this the VRM controller you mentioned...

Re: Asrock Dual SATA II --- Replaced some Ost caps and other tweaks

These boards replaced two old Asrock K7VT2 socket A mainboards with mostly Rubycon caps on it.
They were still working fine after more then three years (often running 24 hours a day), but more CPU Power was needed, so i bought this boards.
Asrock now using cheap low quality caps makes me
I hope this picture helps to identify the location of the caps.
Maybe i am a bit too anxious now about bad caps after reading so much about bad caps in this forum.
If this board works fine...

Re: Asrock Dual SATA II --- Replaced some Ost caps and other tweaks

Hello,

Sorry for digging out this old thread and also for my bad english, but a few weeks ago i bought an Asrock 930 Dual Sata2 board and its successor, the Asrock 939 Dual VSTA.
Last week i checked the installed caps on both boards.
On my Sata2 Board i found nearly the same caps as described above. (except the small ones (1000uF) which are mostly blue Ltec 6311d LZP 105°C, big ones KZG and KZE)
But the caps on the VSTA board are very different.
I found the following...
