Hi guys, first time poster long time reader of this forum.
I have a quick question to ask. I have purchased a Jetway V266B mobo (AMD Socket A, AGP, Via KT266A) as a replacement board to an existing system.
The replacement board has had some of the larger capacitors replaced. The board's layout is that it has 7 large caps adjacent to the cpu socket, 4 in line a little below that and 2 next to the AGP slot.
Here is a link to a thread with some pictures.

the 7 large caps next to the cpu socket can be seen in the first pic and the line of 4 in pics 2 & 3 in the link above.
The original caps are as follows:
7 caps next to cpu: 6.3V 1500uF GSC (I have read threads that confirm these are of poor quality)
4 caps in line: 16V 1500uF GSC
2 caps by agp slot: 6.3V 1500uF GSC
The replacement board has:
7 caps next to cpu: 10V 2200uF Elna (never heard of them !!!)
4 caps in line: 16V 1500uF (these have not been changed)
2 caps by agp slot: 10V 2200uF Elna
I have read the FAQs in this forum as well as this thread
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...hlight=voltage
and understand that although the voltage of the cap is not so much of an issue, the uF could be, as if pushed too high this would 'stall' the psu and/or create other issues.
My simple question is this:
Will the caps on the replacement board work fine or are they likely to create any type of problem. I think from my searching it will be ok.
Any help or info provided would be much appreciated
Many thanks
