Re: Gigabyte GV-NX66128DP passive cooling failure

I also had similiar experience with a Gigabyte GV-R577SL-1GD ATI HD 5770 with silent pipe passive cooler graphics card purchased in 2010. It only lasted till late 2013 (intermitent display issues) and has a total of 3 bulged and small leak started on 6.3V 1500uf KZJ capacitors.
I can confirm they are junk.


cheers mikeyles...

Re: Shuttle MS51 Bad Caps?

Thanks for the replie(s). gg1978 I am sure that it is a Shuttle MS51 board (refer pictured link below). There is no shuttle name on the board but MS51 is clearlyly printed and the board matches the picture. I had the ATX connector off when trying a temporary power supply hook-up. No evidence of any prob there and it still would not POST. I can confirm that the leaking one (plus other bulged ones) is a G Luxon (thus I found this website when I googled it up). The 6 bulged ones next to the CPU socket are mainly black (and plenty dusted!) and had RLX printed....

Looking at a friends PC failed to POST and wont display anything. I assumed it was the Power Supply, but swapped out with a spare but no go.
Noticed some brown stuff on the top of a G-Luxon cap next to the RAM slot which led me to this site.

The G-Luxon caps next to the CPU are all bulged also. One of the large G-Luxon capacitors next to the VGA out connector is bulged and raised higher than its sister cap.

I am assuming BAD CAPS but searched on MS51 and cannot find any other boards reported. Any other ideas on failure to POST prob?

Thanks...
