Scope out these caps GiGaBiTe
From what I remember just about all board makers dealt with this issue in some capacity. Have personally had several brands suffer from it. ASUS, Abit, Soltek, Dell, HP, etc ...
sometimes even on board which were never powered up. Oozing caps sitting in the box.
I am not a foil hat type, yet some do believe the 'capacitor plague' was an intentional move by certain entities. Don't quote me on any of this. If memory serves the so called bad formula was stolen in China, then moved through Chinese division of Taiwanese manufacturers. A long game play to undermine smaller companies and eliminate competition? Lenovo did buy IBM's computer division at a discount not long after news of the plague broke. And now they are world's largest PC maker. Points to ponder.
yup and it was so bad we had systems coming back within the year with those boards failing, almost all boards we used at the time had it.Wouldn't expect any different, Athlon XP boards were right smack dab in the middle of the capacitor plague.
With the ugly green sheathing, I'd say they were either Teapo, G-Luxon or SamXon capacitors, but I see a hint of a name that's neither, so it's probably some other wofat garbo.
If you need recapping service, let me know.
I always start explaining that by saying "now this may sound like a shitty spy movie but its the truth"It was industrial espionage. The Taiwanese wanted to get into the capacitor market, but developing a good electrolyte for capacitors is a complex and expensive R&D process. So they just stole what they thought was a good formula from Nichicon and started shitting out defective capacitors by the millions.
what kinda cooler does it have on CPU?
