Hello my first topic and already a request. I know that is rude to run for help, but this forum is the most qualified place to ask. Mostly because someone might still have a board like that.
The board is a famous ecs p6s5at, revision 1,6 and it has few issues.
1. it was recaped in the past with wrong value capacitors all over the place, so i would need some guidence for big capacitors around cpu socket, ram slots and agp slot
2. it had sucumbed to a plauge ecs board suffer from, and kills cr2032 clock batteries by zaping them with reverse voltage from standby line, and i would like to localise where the protection diodes are and either check them or replace for something .
3. all my ecs boards seems to be killing ram sticks, i would like to confirm what ai theorised that the ram slots are overvolted. i can test that with an oscilloscope but i need some guidence about how to test it,

I have a build in mind but i need a stable platform first, so if anyone can provide capacity values and voltages for following capacitors i would be very gratefull
around cpu clockwise
c21, c28, c32, c63, c60, c57, c42, c38, c32, c28
around atx connector clockwise
c56, c72, c37, c36
next to the chipset
c67, c107
around ram slot
c 29, c136, c135, c124
and the one between some mosfet transistor and agp slot close to ide connector that is labeled as bc288 while ai say it is a ceramic ccap it is clearly something bigger.
