The Lelon website says the OCR series are polymer units, but they are normally with a clear sleeve with the series, voltage and capacitance on the top.
Could the blue units in the picture be fakes?
My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.
I recapped this mobo not too long ago, and what is interesting is that the CPU VRM in is at only 330uF and VRM out 1500uF 2.5v witch by spec might suggest perhaps they are?
If so, did I make a mistake by using lytics with the same capacitance?
when replacing lytics with polymers its OK to go down in capacitance somewhat.
the other way around it's an absolute no-go to go with the same or lower capacitance.
however.. that's on VRM input. my gigabyte s775 boards i've got here all have relatively low total capacitance on VRM in. most of them have 4x 330 - 470uF 16V for in, and 9x (or even more) 820uF 2,5V for VRM out. (all polymer)
I'm gonna order Nichicon LE Digi-Key part# 493-3061-ND to replace 1500uF 2.5 v and for 330uF 16v the only thing I found was 493-3718-ND.
Any one used these before?
Sorry. If I'd known thet these were on the board BEFORE I recommended rubycon lytics, I would have advised differently, but all you mentioned in the first post (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8747) was sacon FZ. I had no idea that there were polys on the board until after you had re-capped it.
I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards
