Recapping a AOpen AK73 Pro(A). There are two 10v 3300uf caps on the board, but I only have 6.3v 3300uf caps. I measure 5v at the cap... that should be safe to replace with 6.3v, right? The voltage shouldn't fluctuate that much...

Ludicrous gibs!

Re: replace 10v with 6.3v?
bet its 2 lelon at the vrm input.
i used 6.3v parts as i was out of the 10v ones.
its 5v there so plenty safe. -
Re: replace 10v with 6.3v?
Good to go. I've decreased voltages on occasion after measuring and testing. For example: The 3900uF 10v caps on a Shuttle FV24 or FV25. They never have any more than VCORE voltage on them, so its perfectly safe to replace those 10v caps with 6.3v caps. However, never do this unless you're absolutely sure. It will always be safe to increase from 6.3v to 10v though.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: replace 10v with 6.3v?
I figured I was safe since I measured the voltage, but I wanted to make sure. Is there ever a situation where voltage through a cap will change during the normal operation of the motherboard?Ludicrous gibs!
