Re: Need help identifying caps
Well, I replaced the caps with 1000uF 6.3V caps and the problem persists, so that is a bit of a disappointment. The caps are getting really hot though, so it makes me think that they just need to be a higher voltage rating or something.

Nice. Thanks for the info. Someone on harforums also referred me to this:

Re: Need help identifying caps
I've tried 5 different PSUs, 3 different CPUs, and 3 different sets of RAM (all of which work fine in other systems) so I'm pretty sure its the mobo.
The main problem is HSF clearance. I was thinking of mounting the replacement caps on the back just to test the system out and confirm that's really the issue... once I figure out exactly what they are.
Thanks for all of the assistance!Leave a comment:

Re: Need help identifying caps
I'm not totally sure if they are bad or if they are just not strong enough. Like I said before, several of them look odd on the sides (camera couldn't pick that up), but they get really hot when the system is on and the mobo randomly powers off. It is the same thing that happened to me once when I put caps on an 8kha that weren't the proper ESR rating.Leave a comment:

Re: Need help identifying caps
I'll try to get a pic. My digital camera isn't the best, though.
They are through hole, but they look like the SMT kind that are on video cards and such.Leave a comment:

Re: Need help identifying caps
Thanks! Hopefully that will narrow down where to look for the capacitance values.
They aren't domed, but several look corroded/cracked on the side.
I already RMAed the board to gigabyte and they sent it back (after a month and half) in the same exact condition (board randomly shuts down after posting).Leave a comment:

Need help identifying caps
A motherboard of mine is acting like it has bad caps.

I've replaced the normal caps and the problem persists. There are smaller unwrapped sold can caps (like on a lot of video cards these days) around the CPU socket that look a little odd so I want to try replacing them, but I can't figure out what they are. The markings are:
4y1
561
2.5V
There is a symbol (I assume manufacturer symbol) sort of like anf F or E with a line directly above or below it....
