Re: MSI 845 Ultra Aru
Those leaking caps are in typically low stress areas. Has the board been operating at a high temperature? That could bring on the problem.Gigabyte EP45-DS3L Ultra Reliable (Power saver)

Re: MSI 845 Ultra Aru
lelons often fail like that.
but i would look into the psu and check for other bad caps.
since the ones on vagp are popped too i would blame crapcaps.Comment

Re: MSI 845 Ultra Aru
As others have suggested, that board was probably under heat stress. Apart from replacing the 1000/6.3 Lelons all over the board, I'd also consider replacing those Rubies in the VRM with beefier 10mm caps, since there's place for it. MCZs/MBZs are also vulnerable to a combination of heat and ripple current, though it happens infrequently.Comment
