Re: ASUS P5GDC-V DELUXE - Very recent board, bad caps

I received my replacement board today. It's a newer revision of the same model and the affected caps are all a different brand.

I'm glad they corrected their error, but it would've saved me a lot of hassle if they had used good caps from the very beginning...

The caps are OST brand 680µf 4V. All ten caps of this type are bulging and oozing the brown stuff from the vents. The board was purchased from Newegg in November 2004.
