    Supermicro PDSBE with you guessed it...

    ...bad caps! I was really shocked by this one, its the first Supermicro board that's crossed my bench with bad caps since the 370DL3/DLE P3 days....but low & behold, it was UCC that spoiled it (1000uF 10v KZG).....should have known.... Anyway, its on the record now. Sad sad Day (incase any of you were wondering, I'm a staunch Supermicro fan)!!

    Nothing is bullet proof if not cared for properly (my guess is bad case cooling and those KZG's where they are located would have lasted alot longer.).

      I actually asked about that (thought the same thing you did). When the client told me the model and how recent it was, I was having a hard time believing it..... It was in a supermicro workstation case....well vented and maintained.... With the exception of the NRSY mess with SM in the P3 days, every other SM board I've encountered was phased out because it was becoming an antique before it ever broke down. The KZG's just shit the bed like they do for everyone else....

          is it just the pic or are the ones between the pci slots below the realtek chip bulging too?
          no surprise on the kzg.
          you would think after the nrsy fiasco they would be more careful.

            Its the pic, there were no others failed. All the rest of the lytics were Sanyo WG series, and there were 3x 1800uF 16v MBZ's. It was just the UCC KZG's that wrecked their day.

              yeah why the hell would they put all sanyos and just two kgzs?

              supermicro still does use kgz's on some of thier budget server boards to this day

                The only Supermicro boards avaiable in Australia are the expensive server ones, so I've never seen a supermicro board for real.
                I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                  Some of the budget Supermicro boards seem to be no better than typical consumer boards.
                  Especially a more recent one that only supports a paltry 2 GB of RAM!

                    Because KZG look good on paper. The news from the Internet hasn't trickled up to the engineers yet. Besides, what do those Internet fools know anyways...

                      Can you elaborate? Are you saying that NC NRSY series are no good?

They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

                        No, there used to be a knock off of them -branded- NRSY.

                          Don't worry, once I graduate college and get a job as an engineer, I won't stoop to that level. However, I can attest that most engieneers are clueless about bad caps, gutless wonders, and anything "pratical" of this nature.

                          Like thinking a gutless "450W diablotek would do 450W just because "it [or the datasheet} says so". At least for a diablotek it wasn't too bad... still junk IMHO .
