Re: Bad P5P800S boards

We have another bad P5P800S MB. That makes 4 now.

Re: Bad P5P800S boards

The capacitors are green 820uf 6.3v 8mm. They have the following markings - MB 105C(M), 4715D and an eliptical logo that reads LTEC. I hope that this helps.

Re: Bad P5P800S boards

Thanks Willawake. The boards are in my office and with the Xmas holidays I wont be in until Wednesday. I can tell you that the mobo's have two types/series/brands of caps (black and green). All the failures have been green.

My company has built systems using the ASUS P5P800S boards. These systems run 24/7 and we used ASUS because we believed that they were good. Noooo..... We have now had 3 (yes 3) of them fail after about 12 months of use - i.e fail to boot or crash while running. All had bad 820mf capacitors. There was no consistent pattern to the failures other than they being 820mf. One board had 1 bloated cap. The other 2 had 3 bloated caps. I am now going to see just how good the ASUS 3 year warranty really is. I will keep you informed.
