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?
