Yeah, I also figured out that what I should do...but at this stage I definitely can't bother taking it all out again. 🤣
No way to test without removing the motherboard from the case with the horizontal back slots. I'll eventually get to it at some point...

I tested an ET4000AX and a CL GD5426. Results are pretty much identical.
But honestly, trying again today after a day of work, it's so much better than before the caps that it almost feels like nitpicking at this stage. It's not *perfect* but more than good enough. Doesn't mean I'm not happy to read more ideas, of course 😀
