Re: Abit an8 32x

So are you speaking, component for component, like same voltage, and uF, etc, but can change brand of said component, like I did with the caps on the motherboard?

Re: Abit an8 32x

Well, after some agonizing trys at getting another PSU I had one mysteriously appear at my doorstep this afternoon (got to love roommates). Pluged it in and the board posts and boots with the new caps! I'll include snapshots of my old caps, and the new ones installed and work done. Thanks guys!

Also looking yup, caps in the PSU are toast. Think it can be fixed? I'll see if I can get a pic for you shortly.

Re: Abit an8 32x

The PSU is a RAIDMAX 630W. Bought with newegg and their part number is N82E16817152026, paid $99 for it, with free shipping. I was given it for christmas, and installed it on 26th of December 2006 (only reason why I knew when it was installed lol). It has ran non stop until the last part of November 2012. So I guess I got my money's worth. I can try another PSU from a different PC to see if that's the problem.

Re: Abit an8 32x

Ok so finally I have replaced the caps on this board, actually very easily yet when I turn the power switch to on for the PSU it does nothing. There is a LED display on the board and it used to always say 9.9. Now it's blank or has 0.0. If I leave the PSU on for over 5 minutes. When I turn the PSU off it makes a mini "swoosh" sound like jts discharging. Please, anyone got any hints or can assist? Thanks a ton.

Greetings,

I have an ABIT AN8 32X motherboard with one bad cap and I think maybe more. Right now after you push the power button the system will either not even turn on, or after it turns on will turn off by itself after about 30 to 60 minutes. In the picture I've attached I can see that its got 1 bad capacitor from what I can see marked as KZG 6.3v 2200uF. Should I replace all the KZG caps? Could they be bad even if they don't show failing signs? I have been reading seeing that the Rubycon should still be ok? I'd just replace the board because I hear that the chipset this board...
