K8N-E deluxe. I would of though new enough for this problem to be gone. Hard to believe there are still sub par caps ( if that even was the problem and not the excuse ) still in inventory. Had same bug with a7n8x's also. This particular cap is not near the cpu and is just puffed, not leaking or anything. Just bugs me after waiting 10 weeks they send me one exactly like the one I sent them. I marked the mb so it is a different one. Abit claims they use good caps now but the last one I bought gave me so much grief I had to return it for something else. So I am leery of them, heard the top guys left anyway.
I am calling Asus this AM but I may just replace the cap and be done with it. Customer rebuild so I ordered a new board to replace it that I can use all the old hw on. fp At 01:33 AM 10/30/2007, Thane Sherrington Poked the stick with: >At 09:41 PM 29/10/2007, FORC5 wrote: >>Sent back a MB with a blown cap on rma. mb was not giving me any grief.
