    P5K premium blown caps

    I voltmodded my P5K premium with Vcore and Vdimm.

    1st go around Vdimm mod and measure worked flawlessly.

    Vcore mod did not work at all, and did not perform Vcore measure.

    Redid Vcore mod and added Vcore measure at circled area under mobo at 1 leg of the R68 inductor around the socket.

    Turned mobo on, no POST. Shut off.....checked cables/etc.....all looked ok....Turned on again.

    Vcore measure point showed 1.06. The VR was set to 50K Ohm (max) at the time as this was first startup after performing mod.

    All of a sudden I hear *BOOM* *BOOM* and see sparks!! Immediately shutdown system and here is the aftermath.....2 blown caps and one WICKED urnt smell. Also some of my paper towel from the insulation appears to have been stock on some of the caps and inductors around the socket. The MOSFET heatsink over top of the Vcore measure point was SERIOUSLY hot, as well as all of the caps and inductors around the socket were very hot too.



    I tested the CPU (Q6600) in another mobo and its working fine. Havnt tested the other components yet but I assume they will be fine as well.

    What are the odds of this mobo being repair-able? Can I just replace those caps? If so, with what replacement caps?

    EDIT: Full System Specs are: Q6600 G0, P5K Premium, EVGA 8800GTX, Corsair HX620W, 160gb PATA Seagate Barracuda, 2 X 1 gb PC8500 Crucial Ballistix Tracers.

    Thanks for any info or advice!
