The KZG 16v 1000uf Chemicon caps will be replaced with the Rubycon 16v ZLH series 1000uf

You are subscribed to this thread Asrock G31M-GS is using OST & KZG caps
Hi everyone,
I am just curious to find out whether anyone in the forum
has this motherboard?
So, far in my experience, I have not seen a leaking OST caps.
So, I need to know whether it is worthwhile of replacing them
in terms of long usage in a hot environment.
[B]Asrock G31M-GS[/B] is using the following electrolytic capacitors:
1 piece of OST 16v 470uf-----> Not sure want to replace it or not, although it is listed as bad caps?
10 pieces of OST 6.3v 1000uf -----> Not sure want to replace it...Last edited by liukuohao; 07-29-2015, 06:02 AM. -

Asrock G41M-VS3 is using SAMXON caps
Hi All,
I would like to know whether my [B][I]Asrock G41M-VS3 motherboard[/I][/B]
[URL="http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/G41M-VS3/"]http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/G41M-VS3/[/URL]
is using bad capacitors or not.
It has a lot of the SAMXON caps which is rated as 1000uf 6.3v.
I could not find this SAMXON caps from the bad caps list.
So, I suspect they are not the best and may be not the worst caps.
Heat is a major concern with me, since I am living in a hot and humid
country that cannot afford to turn... -
Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Hi [B]mockingbird[/B],
Thank you for your response.
But replacing a new PSU will not be an option for me if I want to run
my P3 motherboard, because it requires -5v to boot up. Without it,
the -5v rail ( I know it is for the old ISA slot, even though I don't use it)
I am afraid, I just cannot fire up the motherboard.
Unless, like [B]momaka[/B] mentioned build your own -5v rail using -12 rail
by building a voltage regulator chip, which I have no such idea unless...Leave a comment:

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Thank you for your reply.
So, I need to replace those capacitors as seen in image no.1. = Image_2106.jpg
That is those noise filter caps.
How about the massive caps like the black ones, leave them alone?
Also how about the one that in the middle (referring to image no.3)
which is sitting alone underneath the heat sink?...Last edited by liukuohao; 02-20-2015, 11:53 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Hi
Is there anyone can tell me whether I need to change the CAPXON capacitors
in the PSU? Since they are considered a bad capacitors in the forum?
Thank you.

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Ok, [B]momaka[/B],
I have followed your advice......
I have taken a couple pictures of the internal view of my [B]Enligth PSU[/B].
Please see below.
If those crappy [B]CAPXON[/B] caps need to be replaced, do I need to replace
all of them, as a couple of them hid underneath the huge heat sink which
quite impossible to replace, unless I know how to remove the obstruction.
Another option is to buy a new PSU but the problem is none of the modern
PSU has a -5v rail....Leave a comment:

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Hmmm....if the your theory is right, then it has to be the Power Supply Unit.
Because I have a strange problem with my ASUS P3V4X motherboard, sometimes,
it just cannot detect ALL memory slots when RAM are inserted.
I took my old PSU out and open up and found a whole bunch of CAPXON noise/ripple
filter caps near output rails = +5v, +3.3v, +12v, -12v, -5v, +5vsb.
None of the CAPXON caps are bulging nor leaking, they all look normal
to me.
So the question is do...Last edited by liukuohao; 02-14-2015, 11:32 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
If the Sanyo capacitors are not leaking, but......
I have been having the Pentium 3 motherboard for more than 10 years.
1) Can assume the Sanyo capacitors have gone way pass its working life span
and it is about time to replace it?
2) I discovered that 3 Sanyo capacitors located next to the ATX socket are not
firmly sitting on the motherboard, and can be pushed away on angle something like
this: \ or /. The slash depicts the position of the capacitors can be moved.
Does this mean the...Last edited by liukuohao; 02-09-2015, 11:09 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Hi momaka,
Yes, I did notice that some polymer capacitors look like polymer but in actual
fact they are not........when I read the link below:
[url]http://www.capacitorlab.com/capacitor-types-polymer/[/url]
But I never realized that those Fujitsu yellow capacitors are really polymer
even you can clearly see the vent sleeves on top of them:

So wonder why they made them to have sleeves????...Last edited by liukuohao; 02-06-2015, 11:43 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Is there a website or any information that teach you how to read the
information printed on the polymer /solid capacitors?Last edited by liukuohao; 02-05-2015, 09:32 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Ok, then...Momaka, thanks for the advice. The air quality is much more better
now then before, I can see the path straight ahead of me.
I will go ahead and order some of this Nichicon polyer capacitor from RS:

how it work out.
Hopefully your advice of rule of thumb is rock solid

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Ok, then can you vouch that there is no problem with the motherboard
stability in the long term usage?
In my preference, I like the polymer/ solid capacitor better than the standard

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Thank for your informative advice.
But I am getting conflicting advices from the forum members.
As you are advising me to stick to a capacitor that can [B]MATCH[/B] the previous
capacitor's ESR value as [B]CLOSE[/B] as possible. Yet I am hearing others that get
a LOW ESR will work fine provided you are getting a same capacitance of
820uf, 6.3v(or higher 10v). Sigh..... which side do I follow??

Re: Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Hi All!
Thank you very much for your advice!!
Q1) Why does it necessary to match the [B]ESR /impedance[/B] value of a
capacitor which I am about to replace?
Q2) Does this Nichicon polymer / solid capacitor works on my capacitor

Replace bad caps with Panasonic caps
Hi there,
I have some Chemi-con KZG 820uf 6.3v 8mm diameter are leaking badly.
I wonder if I replace the following Panasonic cap:
[URL="http://my.rs-online.com/web/p/aluminium-capacitors/7083447/"]http://my.rs-online.com/web/p/aluminium-capacitors/7083447/[/URL]
would pose any problem later on my motherboard.
The reason, I choose this FR series capacitors because the endurance is
longer than the others = 10,000hrs!!!!
But it does not specified the ESR value???
Thank you for any guidance...Last edited by liukuohao; 02-01-2015, 11:20 AM. -
Re: Asus P5QPLAM- Mosfets faulty?
Reflowing? how on earth am I going to do that on my own.
I believe you need a machine to do this right?
So, I guess, that is the end of life for my Asus P5QPLAM motherboard, right?
Then, I can dispose it for good.....
However, I need to pull out the 1 of the pins of the socket 775.
And reuse it on another motherboard which has 1 pin broken....Leave a comment:
