    What are these caps?

    Have this old Asus/HP motherboard (A7V-VM), and it has mainly Rubycons on it, but there is a small riser board near the SD-RAM slots populated with yellow and black capacitors. The following link has a similar motherboard, you can see the caps in the photo, and zoom:

    Above the V/F value and temperature rating, there is a capital "F" with a bar above and below the "F", like this...

    Can someone tell me what brand these caps are? I haven't seen ones like this before.

      Those are Fujitsu hybrid polymers. Good caps. No longer made.
      "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."

        Thanks for the info, I've seen them discussed a couple of times here.

        I was just stripping the board, and wondering if they were worth keeping. They have low ESR, but the capacitance value is quite a bit higher than what's on the label, eg, 680uF reading about 800uF, and 820uF reading just over 1000uF.

        Anything to be concerned about?

          They're within 20% tolerance, so should be okay.

            Where did you major in math - they are both above 20% out
