Re: Re-capped my board, partial success...

Well, just an update, my board is still rock solid, this seems to have done the trick, very nice. Once again, thanks guys, props to you all.

Re: Re-capped my board, partial success...

Changed the other two caps, stick stuck at 1.35mhz. Probably my cheap Azenram(512mb) holding me back, I can't OC the RAM at all. Ah well, not a big issue, the board is rock solid/stable now, I can live with 1.35mhz. Hard to find 168 pin SDRAM nowadaze, some Corsair would be nice, one must dream, eh?

Thanks guys, for all your help, it is much appreciated. I'll be snagging another CA-64 TN for my other Tualie, hopefully, the caps won't be bad on it, but if they are, I now know how to solve the prob.

Once again,...

Re: Re-capped my board, partial success...



Cool, I shall do that. If anyone in here has a cheaper source for caps in the Barrie/Toronto, Ontario, Canada area, I'd be very happy to be let in on it, this ordering from the US is a killer.

Myself, I love these Tualies, they rock, when the kids are done with them, I'll scoop an old iWill board and fold with them. I've heard rumours of 1.7's out there, but I've yet to see one, just wishfull thinking no doubt. Too bad.

On the otherhand, I do believe Intel is poised for a comeback, 65nm...

Re: Re-capped my board, partial success...

I have an old Celery 1100 that couldn't do more than 1257 on this board, I'll have to give that a spin again, just for kicks. Slower than the 866, but it works. Might make a keychain out of it. Nah, hate to ruin a working chip.

I have old AMD and Intel 90's, a working K6, and a working Intel P60. Don't know why I hang onto this stuff, but I find it cool, kinda like having your own personal IT museum.

Re: Re-capped my board, partial success...



Yeah, after I got this system back together, I figured it was a dumb move not to replace the last one of the 2700's. At the same time, I knew I had to do something with the other bad cap, so I'm not going to beat myself up too much, although I have to be extra careful getting the last 2700uf out. I'll use a kid for a third pair of hands.

Thanks for the heads-up on the 2200uf, I want to rock these Tualies a bit, they will do 1.8 stable, 1.5 will be fine for me.

Thanks Rainbow, this will...

Greetings all, new to these boards, but I've been lurking for a long time. Finally jumped in and replaced some bad caps on an old DFI board(G-Luxon) and got somewhat good results, except that I missed a bad cap in a different area of the board.

Here are the caps I swapped out, the one is obviously blown, the other is the one that looks sunken in, by the time I changed it, it was bulging like the one in the foreground.



I ordered my caps, the long way around, from digi-key. Cost me $3 a pop, plus an $18.50 shipping and handling charge on top...
