Re: K9N Platinum
Good news on the mobo. I replaced the 6 caps with rubycons and it seems to be running fine. I have 3 PC's. I opened all 3 Antec PSU's. Two of the three have blown caps. I'm useing the one that is relativly new until I can get the corsair. I'll never buy Antec again.

Re: Dell OptiPlex™ SX270 / GX270 / GX280 OUT OF WARRANTY SUPPORT PROGRAM
I worked for a big call center. They purchased over 2,000 GX270's. By the time I quit I think they had probably RMA'd 35 to 40% of them. Dell would send replacement boards and the techs there would replace them. The Mobo was a foxconn. Usually the video would quit first. Huge prob for them. Imagine talking to a rep and they have to hang up on you because thier computers vid blinked out.Leave a comment:

Re: K9N Platinum
Went ahead and opend my PSU. It does have one bad cap on one of the outputs. Clearly blown. The wires are in the way I need to tear it down completely to see which rail and what brand. I'll probably just buy a new PSU. What have you guys had good success with. I'm running an AMD 5600 x2 only 1 DVD/CDRW (sata) and 2 SATA HDD's. I do have a bunch of case fans.
ThanksLeave a comment:

Re: K9N Platinum
My PSU is an Antec 400 watt. SL400 Has anybody seen these failing. I'll open it up and take a look. I got some Rubycons on order. I'll post my findings after the repair.Leave a comment:

Re: K9N Platinum
Forgot to mention the build date on the board is 08-06. No date code on the caps that I can see.Leave a comment:

K9N Platinum
I have a MSI K9N Platiunum. I'm familiar wIth the cap issue and was an electronic technician. I was experiencing random shut downs and BSOD's. Opened up my box and sure enough I have three bad caps right between the CPU heatsink and the power supply tranistors heatsink. There are six total. They are 3300mF 6.3v. The brand is KZG. Has anyone heard of this brand or issues with this particular board.
