From: Daniel Prince on 4 May 2010 15:13 I want to buy a good quality AMD motherboard with all solid polymer capacitors and ecc DDR2 support. How can I find one? The search system on Newegg does not support searches for these things. Is there a web site that will allow me to search for polymer caps and ecc memory support? Thank you in advance for all replies. -- Whenever I hear or think of the song "Great green gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts" I imagine my cat saying; "That sounds REALLY, REALLY good. I'll have some of that!"

The search > system on Newegg does not support searches for these things. Try the websites of Gigabyte, Asus, and Asrock because they do mention when any of their motherboards use all polymer capacitors. Motherboards with the AMD 770 chipset support ECC DDR2, but I don't know about other chipsets. 100% polymers isn't necessary. Maybe they help increase the reliability of the voltage regulators, especially the CPU regulator, but they're not needed everywhere, and it's probably a lot more important for all caps to be high quality brands rather than for all the caps to be polymers. Also some manufacturers vary the brand quality by mobo. For example, the wet caps for the BioStar MCP6P M2+ are low quality OST brand (I've had them pop in 1-2 years), while the wet caps for their A760G_M2+_V6 are the much better Nichicon brand. Even if you use ECC memory on an ECC mobo, test it thoroughly, both with and without ECC activated. |
