Re: Intel D845HV

Oh my, I didn't expect that difference would be so drastic (that 105's would last 4 times longer at the same temperature).



LOL

At the end of the line I decided to go with poonani... I mean Punsumi and hope it'll last me a year or two, as that would be more than enough for me.

Punsumi's ESR should be OK. I still can't believe that the company doesn't even have a website. I mean it's supposed to be some high tech company and they don't have web and email? My little niece has web page and email address,...

Re: Intel D845HV

Thanks for explanations PCBONEZ.



Unfortunately you are completely right on this one. Didn't know that before, but as I googled it - it most likely IS a Electrolytic cap (ventless). The good part is that it should be harder to break... should I need to unplug my PSU (20-pin connector) again. Oh well I'm a thug.



When I asked a the guy in the shop "how do I solder this stuff [SMD] to mobo?" he said "well... you can straighten out its legs [connectors] ... and throw away that small black plastic...

Re: Intel D845HV

Thank you all for your suggestions.
As you suggested I should buy the:



I bought the closest thing I could find locally, and that is:

[B]Punsumi PGS 35V 22UF 85C[/B] cap (made by Punsumi India Ltd. I bought two, just in case if I mess up soldering. Usually they stock Panasonic here, but they ran out)

I also bought a [B]SMD 35V 22UF[/B].

[B]Is it OK to use SMD (solid metal cap) instead of electrolyte cap in the location I already mentioned?[/B]

The values on all the caps...

Re: Intel D845HV

Thank you!

Unfortunately we don't have Nichis available here in the Balkans, so I guess I'll just go with [B]ECA-2AHG220[/B]. It's 22uf 100V, so hopefully everything should be peachy keen.Re: Intel D845HV

Re: Intel D845HV

I busted a cap on my good old 845.
Tried to unplug the 20-pin PSU jack, but when I yanked it out I busted a cap next to it. So now I can turn on the PC just fine and it works for some 10 minutes or so, then it shuts down. Can't get it to POST for next half an hour or so, then it works fine... for another 10 minutes. Guess I'll need to fix that ASAP.
Can't find my broken cap, must have hoovered it up.

Please advise me what values should I look for when buying a replacement cap.
I'm talking about this cap in the attached...
