Re: CF-EG65 AMS e-Cube




I am going to pick up some Intel boards then; They had better be using superior parts for the prices they charge for their boards.

I am thinking about getting a motherboard that uses the Intel Core Duo processors. I actually robbed some caps off of a bad Intel D865 board (it had something else wrong with it other than bad caps) that was returned by a customer. I do have an unopened...

You can add these Chyang Fun motherboards to the manufacturers who are using bad capacitors. These boards happen to be small SFF motherboards used by FIC, DTK, AMS (possibly others.) I have sold several of these systems in the past and one had problems (random reboots and unexpected system lockups on boot or while in the XP OS) in as little as 6 months. Now, I have had another system come back from the customer (it has been almost 2 years) and all it can do is spin its CPU fan for about a second then it does nothing. I noticed on a visual inspection of the motherboard that three Choyo 16v 1000uf...
