              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:

              by ktmmotocross
              Hello.
              Have this GB 2080 Super that crash on load. When half load i see instability on one of two switched 12V rails. I dont know its purpose and dont have BV or Schema for this board.

              Can anybody explain me what is purpose of this two switched 12V lines?...

              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....

              Recap motherboards :: Abit KG7-LITE and Soltek SL-75FRN2-L
              by Foetuss
              Hi all

              Hope this is in the correct place.

              I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
              Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid .

              Pictures of the boards are attached.
              What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

              Soltek Golden ::
              4 1500µF 16V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL152MJ16S (Chemi-Con 1500µF 16V)
              6 3300µF 6.3V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL272MJ20S (Chemi-Con 2700µF 16V)...

              MOSFET PURPOSE
              by irfan karatela
              I'm looking at the PS5 motherboard, and have come across 2 mosfets, I want to understand the purpose of the 2nd mosfet as the source is connected to GND and the drain is connected to 5v. wouldn't this short the 5v rail once the 2nd mosfets gate is enabled?

              Thanks...
