    Need help identifying these "polymer" caps

    See attachment below. This type of capacitor used to appear on MSI's LGA775 motherboards. The motherboard taken as an example is P31 Neo-F and you can see them in CPU's VRM output stage:

    Sometimes they're replaced by OST's RLA series (in blue sleeve) electrolytics so I suspect they aren't polymers?

    It's also interesting to see that MSI used Japanese capacitors in the "non-critical" areas of this inexpensive motherboard, like:

    PCI power filtering and chipset power

    Memory power

    So they're somewhat better than these Japanese counterparts?

    Those are not polymer... PCBONEZ was kind to inform me that those are Panasonic FL... The "vent" is a plug in the bung, on the underside of the cap...
    "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."
