I had this old MSI 6330 K7T Turbo laying around from a upgrade and it still worked pretty well for the 4 main caps being blown. MSI used 4 x 4700uf 6.3v 12.5mm lelon caps in this model. The other 2 by the ATX power connector are 3900uf 10v 12.5mm which are Teapo brand. I checked the 2 Teapo's and they are OK, as well as the Chhsi caps on the rest of the board. I decided to try to repair this board with our common caps instead of special ordering them in since the board isn't worth much anyway. It's pretty hard to get 4700uf out of the common types. Here's what I ended up with: 5 x 3300uf 6.3v 10mm caps - 2 x 1200uf 6.3v 8mm caps. Here's what I came up with, The bank in front of the CPU (caps between the AGP and CPU) You see 2 empty cap slots between the 2 4700uf caps. Those are common to the 2 4700uf caps. I used 3 3300uf in that area to make 9950uf total (tested with the wavetek). Now the other 2 4700uf needed replacement. One between the ram slot and CPU, and the one behind the CPU. On each of them I used a 3300uf 6.3v 10mm and a 1200uf 6.3v 8mm which comes to 4600uf on the wavetek. I just left the leads pretty long on the 3300uf caps and installed them high up, then pushed them over at an angle. Then I left the 1200uf leads long as well and tacked them to the 3300uf caps. So I'm about 550uf high on the 2 bank, and 100uf short on each of the 2 single standing caps. So far this has been working well for over 48 hours, I think we'll do some overclocking on it and see if it will stay stable. By the way, this isn't a how to article. we are not responsible for anyone trying this cap conversion.
Here is the cap list: 4 x 4700uf 6.3v 12.5mm 2 x 3900uf 10v 12.5mm 2 x 2700uf 6.3v 10mm 9 x 1000uf 6.3v 8mm
