Hello guys! It's been a long time since I left this project on my "to do" list. I was expecting to buy some quality caps from Digikey or Mouser, but it's really really expensive and difficult to buy things outside our country. But for my surprise, I found Rubycon and Jamicon (both std series) caps in a local store. I know, the Rubycon ones are 85°C and Jamicon's reputation isn't very good. But they were cheap and I'm sure these caps will be better than my ancient 21 years old Suscon and Stone caps.
So I replaced every single lythic cap in my motherboard. And guess what? NO MORE OVERHEATING!!! YESSSS!!! 😎 😎 😎
Now I'm doing some tests back with the original voltage regulator heatsink. No more heat without load (without CPU installed) as before, no more insane overheat under load and no more problems. I still have the "burning AT cable" issue, but now I'm sure that this is due to a bad contact. I also replaced all lythics in my Addonics SV500 and my Trident 9680. Plus added 1mb extra of VRAM in it. I did more things to this system, but I'm a little busy right now to upload pictures. I will keep posting and showing some more goodies (some 3DFX "back from death" involved 😎 ).
Have a nice day guys!
