No building a system for me yet. The motherboard has bad capacitors. Don't know why I didn't see that before.

Been trying to get new caps, but that's difficult since Epox is gone.

WHOA! That's a LOT of bad caps...

BTW - The caps can be replaced with any Brand of Capacitor as long as they are the SAME micro farad value and the SAME or HIGHER voltage value.

I'd Recommend one of the following capacitor brands...

Rubycon
Nichicon
United Chemicon

...there are other good brands too, but they're the best.

I know, but the only caps I can find with the same uF, have like 50+ Volts instead of 10Volts which seems a bit too much.

Its ok to go up on the voltage but I think a 50 v cap will be huge compared to the one its replacing

Bit late on the reply aren't you? Wink

Might as well give a small update; I ordered caps from badcaps.net and had someone solder them on. Board seems to work fine, haven't done any stresstesting yet though. Needs a new BIOS and AWDFlash does not seem to recognise my keyboard Embarrassed

By chance do you have a list of the caps required to fix up an 8K3A? (would prefer to replace all most all of the caps)

Yep, except the 2200 are 6.3Volts when ordering from badcaps.net (no problem though) and I didn't replace the 100 and 10's.

Thank you for the information Tim! (and thank you NitroX for the additional info)  I think I will undertake that as a small project for myself. (one of my three 8k3a+ boards could use a recap)
