Quantum Force - Foxconn MARS P35 - solid caps voltage measurement & Mod.

Greeting, all.
I had purchased a Foxconn MARS(P35) MainBoard weeks ago. Planing to mod caps with high frequency caps to improve OC ability.

Solid Caps


I found Panasonic SP-Cap(Specialty Polymer), high frequency character is superior... You may check the spec: SP-Cap high frequency character

As voltage value, we can estimate the DC power supply for which IC.(ex.1.32V for CPU, 1.8V for DDR RAM.)
Important point: Cap's voltage range(ex. DDR RAM voltage may overclock up to 2.1V, thus Caps >2V is recommanded.)



Mark cap locations with isolate tape.
Important point: Positive side.



Caps for CPU = 2V/330uF.



Parallel soldering by original solid caps' DIP pin.

Wow, really nice. I always liked playing around with caps, let's hope this project turns out well.

This looks interesting. But, how exactly are high frequency caps going to help an OC? Other than the awesomeness factor, I don't see getting much if at all of a higher OC just by replacing the caps.

Better caps = better filtering = more stable voltage. You figure out the outcome.

I really don't see this as being worth it from more than a "look what I did" standpoint.

Cool though.
