yeah, ALL the 1000uf 6.3v GSC caps (5 total) had bulged tops and all
but one were oozing electrolytic.

What is the difference between low ESR and low impedance??

Another poster was using Nichicon HE's which are ultra low and ultra
life and 105C which looks like all the bases are covered.

FYI the mobo is a Gigabyte GA=7VKMLS. Its a KL266 chipset micro ATX
mobo and not worth much.

I just CAN'T resist a repair project under the B&L Stereo Microscope!!



Sounds typical, I've seen it on graphics cards and power supplies as well.

Low ESR and low impedance are the same thing.
