one mb with solid caps w/ no slits got c1 and 0e errors and wouldn't boot so i got the reserve economy board with non-solid caps. diff top of the line rams installed and still c1 error. peeked inside and saw bloated caps. recapped and running smoothly now.
problem is, the board w/ solid caps doesn't show signs of cap degradation. i did see some web-like streaks on the cans.
the boards were bought same year 2008 w/ substituting duty when the other gets problematic. i wouldn't think twice getting econo boards of known brands now.
i know! 2013 and still the bad caps problem :twak2:
