K8V Deluxe capacitor problems
hi,
i bought a asus k8v deluxe board 2 weeks ago with an a64 3200+. on bios version 1003 i set the performance mode to turbo and was wondering about the weird sound [like extremely high wheezing] the board made while the processor was idle in winXP. after an upgrade to bios 1004 i set it back to standard and the noise was gone. when i opened the case to install a new disk i saw that 2 capacitors are thick and open on their top and some brown mass around... i'm using recommended ram, i didnt change any voltages in the bios at all. how long can i work with this board now, what could happen...? thanks, wolf |

Things will only get worse. Hope you purchased from a dealer that had good customer service. |
