Re: Abit IC7-MAX 3 bad caps
One could say it would be the same reason that this site exists in the first place, buy cheaper parts to lower production costs no matter if the part is from the actual manufacturer or not. Good thing Abit doesn't make motherboards anymore, I am two for two on bad caps in their crap.
I sourced some Nichicon HM series 1000uf 10V locally and everything is peachy keen again in my computer.. Thanks for all the assistance, Now on to repairing the RMA'd KT7-RAID board (All teapo caps one leaking) in the other machine I use from time to time

Re: Abit IC7-MAX 3 bad caps
I indicated the caps with yellow arrows, there is only one more United-Chemicon cap left and its the one between the ram banks on the right side of the board. I have another of the frankenstein cap I robbed from an old board but since I will be replacing all of them again with the appropriate parts I will not be changing it yet as it isn't swollen. The board is working fine it takes a few seconds more to get the initial beep when you turn it on. I just assume its because these caps are not quite the exact match. Included are pic of the...

Re: Abit IC7-MAX 3 bad caps
Ok so based on whats available here you only recommend the Samxon, When you look at the Rubycon caps here it refers you to a Nichicon cap at 6.3v and I don't think that is correct shouldn't it be the same voltage or more?
I just want to make sure I get something that will not blow up in a few months and make my board last until I finally upgrade. The originals parts lasted 6 years or so. I think they outlived their expected lifetime being that they are in an Abit board.

Any opinion on Panasonic FM Series caps? The specs are almost identical to the original caps that were in there.

Abit IC7-MAX 3 bad caps
I have an ABit IC7-MAX3 motherboard that recently became useless due to swelling United Chemi KZG caps which are 1000uf 10v 8mm x 16mm and I replaced them with something off an old board, same capacitance and voltage just a shorter can and I can't tell you who they are made buy they just have a "A" in a square on the side and the board posts again but I want to replace them with new caps so I am asking for recommendations here. I replaced 5 of these and I believe there is one or two more on the board.
So what caps should I use?
Thanks for the...Last edited by dfreezer; 05-23-2011, 04:42 PM.
