Q1: Will all-solid capacitor motherboards leak like electrolytic capacitor motherboards?
Absolutely not. Solid capacitors use different conductive material from liquid electrolytic capacitors that is more conductive and won't expand or explode when the environment changes dramatically.
Take for example an "always on" system in an internet café. The strain put on the capacitors in terms of constant, prolonged usage, as well as high system temperatures can easily lead to capacitor failure. An electrolytic capacitor running at 85°C has an average lifespan of just 8,000 hours, which is less than one year. Solid capacitors can last up to 20,000 hours at 85°C, while still operating reliably and stably.

Q2: Do all-solid capacitor motherboards represent better quality?
Definitely. Motherboards with all-solid capacitors have longer life cycles, better reliability and stability during regular use, better over-clocking results and better gaming performance in any working environment. Solid capacitors are a basic requirement for modern motherboards.
Q3: Do I have to pay a lot for all-solid capacitor motherboards?
No, you don't. The good news is that GIGABYTE now offers a full range of all-solid capacitor motherboards from the mainstream 945 chipset series to the high-end 965 chipset series at virtually the same price as non-solid capacitor motherboards. Now anyone can enjoy more durable, more reliable motherboards.
