I've got a board that has three of the same 1500uf/6.3v caps that are bad. It's an old board, barely worth fixing anyway, and all of the other caps (all different values/brands) look just fine while these three are leaking.
I know most of you would probably say to replace them all, but for this board (PC133, if that says anything) it's not worth it to me. It's for someone that doesn't use the computer much.
Anyway, my question is this: I've got one Rubycon MCZ cap that's the same size/shape as the original - it's my last one. I've got plenty of SAMXON caps that are the correct value, but instead of being the original short/fatter cap, these are taller and skinnier. They are the GC(M) series.
Should I use the Samxon's, or wait and order more Ruby's?
