Default Re: OT: Building A New System

Your right about the capacitors, but it is a wide spread problem.
There is some really cheap caps coming from China.

We had one customer who is buying those cheap caps, and then complaining about our power management chips.

It seems this cheap stuff tests OK on RCL analyzer equipment, but fails under real life stress.
We found that some old, crude, tried and true methods, would expose the weakness. Take a few measurements, mix in a little MATH, and the problem is well defined.
Then the real problem of communicating some basic math and science to managers begins.


BTW: I have been very happy with MSI mother Boards.
