The replacements I used were much higher quality and low impedance, but not from a series intended to be low ESR. (Panasonic KA and Nichicon UPW/UHE) Oh boy did you screw up. You used low ESR caps. As described above Low Impedance effectively IS low ESR. Was this a joke? Since you had to ask... Yes …

Yours has a few more caps (hope they're not GSC, heh) but there are blank solder pads in those locations on the Gigabyte. Don't know if this helps. Here are some closeups of the three most common caps on the board. caps1.JPG caps2.JPG caps3.JPG The non-Sanyo are junk and the Sanyo may be fake. …

The most important thing (to me) for a solder station (or even iron) is to get one with a ceramic heater element. They have a shorter recovery time so there is less tip temp drop when you make contact with the joint. They also last longer. == That said, the older tech still works fine. I would never …

Asus (like many others) does not provide proper Release Notes for their BIOS updates but you can see what CPUs were added by looking at the CPU support page were it says "since BIOS" or similar. Looks to me like going from 1019.x to 1021.x only gets you these. Celeron D 310 revG0(2.13 GHz, 533 FSB, …

@SpectriaForce Some people have the knack. Others don't. (That's not meant to be derogatory. There are things I suck at.) That's another reason not to buy the fancy equipment for the first project. . I have soldered on old tube radio's, tv's and really old home computers in the past. I have just …

Of course from one line of caps to another, that term is rather relative... Anything with an ESR (Impedance) less than 0.090 ohms @100kHz would be considered low ESR. That is not an official standard but rather a rule of thumb used by old Electronics Techs like me. ==== Regarding Al-Lytic caps in …

where I could get replacements from hopefully in the UK? These folks are popular. I dunno how their stock is for caps these days. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/ http://uk.farnell.com/ Badcaps.net will ship there but IMHO he's a bit pricey so a last resort. "GSC" [LE] 105c T29D" one of them is T29E. …

How low of an ESR do you really need for some secondary power filtering near an expansion slot? The short and ultimate answer is enough to keep the ripple below the max allowed by the ATX spec. (After you install add-in cards.) But I don't think that's going to help people much......... The long …

Considering the time you spend in recapping I allways go for low ESR 105°C caps, usually ones from Panasonic. The difference in price is not worth the risk having to recap a second time. 80W is a good recommendation for solderworks on multi layer PCBs, but a temperature controlled soldering station …

CONGRATS! [...] The first step is to make a cap map. This is not trivial for a couple of reasons. [...] . Alternative, which I'd recommend anyway first time: replace them them one by one, starting with the most accessible. That way you never have more than one cap off the board and you won't forget …

Thanks for the tips - a cap map sounds like a sensible idea. I'll have a look at the guide as it sounds like it isn't going to be a case of warming up the existing solder and pulling them out and then threading the new ones in and setting them with new solder. it is my second time using a soldering …

Generally the caps near the CPU are low ESR, and the ones further away (near expansion slots, etc) are general purpose filter caps. I'm sorry that is just not true. I never tried to figure exactly when the transitions were but at least by the mid/late P-III era all the caps (over 6 mm) on …

CONGRATS! You scored a set of what may be the worst caps ever made! GSC were so bad (and so well known for it) the company changed their name TWICE before they folded. ALL of those need to go. Not just the ones that are bloated. With this particular brand only about 1/3 of the bad ones will bloat. …
