Adding another brand to the "bad caps" list!
My older Chaintech S848P started acting up, so I did a cap check. Sure enough, found one near the CPU with a domed top! The brand is G-Luxon, sort of a grape-colored sleeve, 3300 mfd at 6.3 volts.. rated 105°C.
There are eight of them in a row, the others look OK.. but will have to do a check on them now and then.
Did not have a "new" identical cap, so 'borrowed' one from an old Asus mobo.. an "Ost" branded one that looked good. Will definitely get some new replacements soon!

Both G-Luxon and OST are known bad brands. Time to hoard a batch of Rubycon 
I haven't touched chaintech since socket370 for this reason.
