    MSI MS-6309 N1996, need to replace 2 caps

    Heres a pic of the two green ones, they say Chhsi WG(M) 1500uf 10V.



    Theres no performance changes, but I worry theyre gonna pop all over the graphics card!

    Anyone recommend what to replace them with? Im from the UK and cant seem to see Maplin having any on their site.

    Thanks

    you should recap it. the sooner, the better, while all is still ok. panasonic FM/FJ, chemicon KZE, rubycon MBZ/MCZ, is what i would recommend. but it depends on what available to you..
    days are so short when you actually do something..

        We only recommend japanese caps, or at least samxon caps, for recapping. I think if you try harder, you can find some from respectable online seller.

        (I get all my caps locally, so i cant recommend you where you can buy them online.)
