[QUOTE="MoneyShot, post: 131078, member: 7628"] Since it seems you are looking for advice from a gigolo, I would say to be preemtive and pick up two spare boards for the company, test them, and leave them in the box. Since the overall power draw on boards has increased due to clockspeed and voltage the current capacitors are much more stoudt (or not flawed however you feel like saying it), and that tiawan-cheapocapacitor problem was IIRC between 2002 and 2003. I would also reccomend if you are running a peltier cooling to make sure the seperate power supply running the peltier is switched on before the computer. That will help you add to chip logevity, burnout boy. :!: I am thinking about sending off handymans VP6 for a capactor swap before putting it into the 1U thats supposedly coming in (tinfoil hat deal). The one good from all this hassle is at least the manufacturers are swapping out capacitors with no questions asked, no matter how far out of warranty the boards are. [/QUOTE]
