Re: P5E-VM DO Cap replacement

yea thanks for editing and updating your post by stating the series of the caps (tmv) in your post. and yes, that is a known problematic series by chemicon.

suitable replacements would be the panasonic oscon sepc series, chemicon npcap psc series or nichicon fpcap L8 series.

also measure the dimensions of the existing tmv caps. what is their diameter and height? 8x8mm? getting a cap of the right height here is important because i believe they are around the cpu socket, right? so they cannot be too tall or else they will violate the processor keep out zone and block the installation of the heatsink due to their height.

remember to measure the size of the existing caps first before ordering. a common mistake here when ordering caps is ordering a cap that is too large and doesnt fit.
