Much in the spirit of my previous capacitor thread (for Yamaha YMF724), this thread is for people who want to repair their Abit VP6 motherboard or just future-proof it.
I am aware there are capacitor repair kits for this motherboard[1][2], but they are long out of stock.

Funny these were first available so late like Jan/Dec 2013 because the board predates those repair kits by 12 years. On to the business side of things:
Because the PCB print congestion is PRETTY FREAKING DENSE and it poses a challenge to make sense of it with naked eyes, without assistance of scoping glasses, I will add extra hints where this location is set. To make directional distinctions even easier to undestand, here is a picture of the motherboard along with compass directions I will use. This is also convenient because this is the direction of the printed text on the PCB.
