• Faulty or Leaking Electrolytic Capacitors

Some motherboards may contain faulty or leaking electrolytic capacitors, which can negatively impact system performance or stability. These capacitors may exhibit issues such as bulging, leaking, or even exploding, potentially damaging other components on the motherboard. Users should inspect their capacitors regularly and replace any that are faulty or leaking to avoid damage or system instability.

The chipset is relabeled Elite but is actually just a standard Apollo Pro+ chipset with the VT82C596A southbridge.

The PCB is shared with the P6BXT-A+ (minus some resistors), therefore it has a silkscreened "P6BXT-A+" text on it that is usually covered with a "P6BAT-A+" sticker from the factory. However this sticker may be missing on some boards, including the instance found in the PCang picture, therefore it is recommended to check the model of the southbridge to determine the board's model (the P6BXT-A+ has a 440BX chipset with the PIIX4E southbridge instead).
