More stuff from the pile of free parts. Most of the Choyos are bulging, the capacitors that aren't Choyo are G-Luxon.

Re: Gigabyte GA-6VTXE
Choyo and G-Luxon
Replace them all (including those that aren't bulging). They are some of the worst caps in history.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

Re: Gigabyte GA-6VTXE
Check the connections on those empty locations near the CPU. They're probably in parallel with the Vcore caps, so you can substitute a larger number of smaller sizes if you want. That also gives you more leeway on the ESR (since it gets divided by the total #).
Gigabyte had unfilled Vcore caps like that on many of their boards.Comment

Re: Gigabyte GA-6VTXE
Yeah, I was actually surprised to see that the G-Luxons hadn't failed. Hoping to recap some time in the future, won't be for a while because of schoolwork though.Originally posted by c_heggeChoyo and G-Luxon
