              ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
              by momaka
              Here’s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
              This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF caps… which aren’t any good news either.

              So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:

              no-name Radeon 9600 XT recap and cooler
              by momaka
              I've been seeing a lot of cheap-looking (but not always so cheap) no-name AGP video cards on eBay for a while. They started popping up quite a bit when the market for AGP cards became more alive all of a sudden due to interest in “retro” PCs. One thing that struck me about these cheapo cards is that they almost always seem to come with garbage caps - including the abominable Sacon FZ. That aside, though, I've been wondering about the rest of the quality (or lack of?) on these cards. So I decided to satisfy my curiosity yet again.

              This one was actually suggested to me by ChaosLegionnaire....

              DFI Lanparty NF3 250GB complete recap help
              by laskr1999
              Hello!
              I have got a DFI Lanparty NF3 250GB motherboard, that have all of the capacitors failed, board still working.
              I have read, that I need to match ESR, Capacitance, Voltage to have a quality recap, but with ESR im in a problem. 0.012 ohm is what i see on the vrm caps specs, but lowest I could find is 0.018 and up, usually 0.04. Can someone help me find good replacements?
              I'm located in EU, and I have found a guy here on the forums who listed the caps, so here are they:
              - 20 x Nichicon 1000uF 6.3v HM 105C
              - 5 x Chemi-con KZG 1000uF 10V
              - 1 x Chemi-con KZG...

              Looking for someone to recap Dell XPS T450 motherboard (Live in suburbs outside of Philly)
              by varunviolin007
              Hi guys,

              I’m looking for someone in the Northeast to do a full electrolytic capacitor recap on a working Dell Dimension XPS T450 motherboard (it's an Intel 440BX, Slot 1). The board runs mostly fine but is beginning to freeze after warm reboots (turns back on for 30 secs or so and then freezes up but is perfectly fine after 12 hr cool down).

              I’d be sending just the bare motherboard (CPU, cards, bracket, battery all removed). I’m located in Chadds Ford, PA and happy to ship within the US.

              Looking for someone experienced with older PC boards who uses...
