Re: Asus motherboards

Again this is not my board in the photo...I know a photo of my own board would help immensely. What's weird is the two I circled in purple look slightly swollen. Or is it just me? Being this is a photo I found of off google of the same exact board I have and the same cap looks the same way i'm wondering if it's just the way this particular cap is supposed to look.. Again if I look at it from the side it looks o.k.. I've seen swollen caps before on boards that are obviously swollen, viewing from the top, the side..etc...there's no mistaking it. Usually i'm not...

Re: Asus motherboards

The board in questions is a old Asus A7A266. The caps i'm concerned about are the ones in the attached photo circled in red...the yellow caps. This photo is not my board..I tried taking a photo of my board with my digital camera but it sucks and the photos came out blurry. One of the two i'm on the fence about, when looking at it from the top it looks like it might be slightly swollen, when looking at it from the side it doesn't. I haven't had any issues at all. I don't know if it's the angle i'm looking at it from that is throwing me off or what.

Does Asus generally use quality caps on their boards?
