Hmm I got the KA7 sitting in my closet the refused to post that has bulging/leaking caps. Debating on whether it would be worth fooling with since it is old and probably isn't worth $20-$25 if it was working. No if it allowed me to get the $113 I gave for it back in the day that would be sweet.

Does that mean I can call Abit and tell them the problem and them RMA no problem? Or do I fill that out and wait for the ok to?

Hmm, not sure what the big deal is. I had a KT7A with bulging caps. I called Abit for an RMA and they replaced it even though it was well out of warranty. That was several months ago.

Man... my mom got a KG7-RAID with bad caps.... I've heard over several KG7's with the same problem. Ah well. I gave her my A7N8X deluxe and got a A7N8X-E deluxe to replace it. I still use the XP for my game system for games with good surround. The onboard on my opteron dually isn't that great, and there are no useable PCI slots, and both PCI-X busses have 66MHz or high cards... so no downclocking.

Of course thier not on there. this is old news. Abit started "bullit proof" soon as problem was realised in 2002. what's unfortunate is most MB makers did'nt and many still use the cheap junk. Not ABIT abit has used the best quality caps and mosfets since 2002.

Thanks OP.
I got a dead KT7 sitting in my closet.

My KT7A-RAID has been running for 3+ years without a hitch. I checked it last week and there was no bad caps. Wierd.

edit: DOH, I looked closer and found 2 are bulging out of the 20+ on that board, ohh well.

I wonder. Would a BH6 be covered, one that suddenly failed, after about 3+ years of operation, although it had problems with sagging vcore before that? Settings vcore to 1.65v resulted in something closer to 1.6, setting to 1.7 (or higher!) still only resulted in 1.65v. I have a dead BX6-r2 too, although I'm pretty certain that it was my own fault that it died, in the middle of performing a tualatin wire volt-mod. Would be a bit wrong to try to RMA that one I'm sure.

You are a member of the proposed Settlement class (the "Class"), if you are within the United States and you purchased one of the following specified ABIT Motherboard models during the period January 1, 1999 to the present: BE6, BE6II, BF6, BX-133, KA7, KA7-100, SE6, VH6, VH6II, VH6T, VP6, KT7-RAID, KT7A, KT7A-RAID, VL6, VT6X4, SA6R, AND BX133-RAID.

Nope, I'm not covered. The BH6 was more-or-less before their "bad cap" days too, so it's not surprising I guess. Hopefully you KT7 owners will get some remuneration out of this, those were some of the worst-hit boards.
