I have an older Abit KT7 motherboard, running my 800Mhz Athlon. I was looking at it today to see if a heatsink would fit, when I noticed some of the capacitors near the socket didn't look right. Two of them had brown spots on their tops at the centers (silver area where the X is). The tops also looked like they are bulging outward. The other caps on the board are flat on top and look fine. I'm a bit concerned since I remembered a front page article about bad caps on Abit boards. The board has been stable and even overclocked a bit. Should I be worried? Should I replace this board? What kind of damage would be inflicted if those caps would go?
Thanks.
