Re: Caps bad on SY-K7VTA-PRO



Its possible though that your soyo board has not been abused. You may have not experienced these problems because the board wasnt run at the high bus frequency.

The case that this pro board was in was not vented well, and its possible this led to my cap problem. I think its just a time degradation problem though. I say that because I kept a fairly close eye on this board. I monitored the temps and kept the case clean, and board temp stayed pretty steady. It generally stayed in the 30c range on the board, and the chip maintained...

Re: Firefox and Broadband users, READ THIS!!

Awesome firefox fix, I though I was doing some fast surfing, this is a 1000% increase in load time, my fasterfox page load timer extention says so.

As part of replacing parts in my mom's computer I was shocked to see how bad the caps on this board had exploded. I just wanted to let everybody know that the cap maker Wendell is BAD. I read the bad caps thread about this being a known bad company but I wanted to post detailed information on what caps I found to be "bad".

1000 uf 6.3v 105c and the 1500 uf 6.3v 105c are leaking electrolyte on the board, most are completely shot, some look fine but upon further inspection are blown out at the bottom. There are smaller caps marked Wendell but they do not appear to have any...

I probably shouldnt mention this here but ive managed to get a hold of a ton of computer stuff with bad caps, ive got 2 motherboards, one soyo, and one i cant figure out yet, a psu, and this geforce card. im gonna post their details in seperate threads, what is it with electronic companies building things with the lowest bid componets? Makes no sense, i wouldnt want to be helt accountable for selling, and for that matter building crap.

I wasnt gonna mention anything but these cards have been a little man handled it seems, but if the caps havent been completely ripped apart im still intrested in them,



I know how boards can and do turn into a all out swap meet so, i didnt want it to sound like im turning this thread into an auction site, id like the cards though if the price is right.

ya hear that bushytails, im openin the bid, whatta want for them?...

dont take this the wrong way, i dont think your suppose to advertise on a board, although i wouldnt mind taking you up on the offer, what kind of money are we talkin here....

My Mistake

:o I looked again thats not an r in Caricon Its an N, Canicon, youll have to forgive me i got new glasses right after i looked at it

Ive not tried to replace all caps on the board but even when i replaced one it still didnt respond, ive got to find a lot of these panasonic caps and replace it out completely, until then its just a dust collector, i hate it too, i really did like this card alot, had to spend another 100+ dollars and get a 5600 ultra- although i didnt go pny this time, i went with a bfg asylum, and im ill cause benchmarks indicate this...

I am afraid that this bad capacitor problem plauges PNY cards as well, I am having to replace 1 cap at least on my card. the card gave me little warning before freezing up completely, so far ive independently tested the card on 3 different mobos and they all give me errors at post. I have since discovered one cap bulged at the top so bad there is a pinhole in the dead center of the top. Im posting this just incase somebody runs across their crashed out geforce card chunking it aside thinking its toast.

I have not replaced the cap yet, still searching for a brand of capacitor that...
