Where to get caps ?

iSDn · Post by **iSDn** » Sat Jun 14, 2003 7:51 pm

First of all i wanna thank you guys who helped me so much! I posted a few weeks ago that my BP6 isn't able to run my P3 1100Mhz anymore its only stable when i use it with 66Mhz FSB. A few days ago one cap exploded. Now my question is there any online shop. where i can get all the caps for a cheap price in germany they cost about 60$.

http://www.farnell.co.uk is a good place to get cap's from the UK
there main site list many countrys were they sell, may be worth a look there http://www.farnell.com

oh allmost forgot to mention that they sell the exact rating of caps that are on the motherboard, but I'm yet to see if the caps fit... I hope that they will

If anyone in the UK wants some caps I need to put an order through for some for something else, so give me a shout in the next couple of days.

www.farnell.co.uk is PNP free

so If you know how to search for the caps you want it's great ...

I'm replacing all the caps on my BX133-Raid MB for £12 inc vat

Some posters have purchased the assorted capacitor pak that RadioShack sells. They have found a 2200uF, 16 volt electrolytic capacitor in the pak and used it for EC10.

i have access to some of the rares caps

i personally have 2 1farad caps and 8 .22farad caps

nice for playing with things

also i can get anywhere from 1MFD to 10K MFD 50v caps

to 2400MFD 10v caps

i've thought about using a 2K MFD 10v cap for EC10

hmm

i wonder what a 6800MFD 16V cap would do in ec10?

The feedback I have seen from other posters who have replaced all capacitors; they say the stability is excellent. Problems solved after replacement.

Just a question about the capacitor quality: Here in Germany it´s easy to get caps with that voltage and capacity, but they usually have 20% tolerance and do not seem to be low-ESR types. What qualities to the caps have to have?

Hi! Thanks again for your help!

I figured out that my capacitors aren't broken. It is at least one of my RAM modules that causes my random lookups.

Bye..i love you guys

Hi!

I think i need your help again.....

I figured out that when i test my ram at 66mhz FSB i get no errors, but when i switch to 100mhz fsb i get ALOT of errors...i think that's why my system always crashs at 100mhz fsb...(damn why did i kill my first bp6 board???) Could this still be a cap problem or is my board broken ???

Bye.
