            Those silver caps are Nichicon HD series; the other two have Nichicon-style vents and a fragment of "Nichicon" is recognizable on at least one. If those are the "HM" series caps you referred to, they are indeed Nichicon, as "HM" is not a Rubycon series. Both are aqueous electrolyte series; there was a known bad run of HM series parts some time in early 2004, IIRC.

                Per Hansson, all the red ones on yours are Fujitsu and the Blue ones look like Chemicon. I would not worry about either.

                  You are correct. The two center caps are Nichicon HM not Rubycon.

                    The heatsink network on that board is designed to work with an air-cooled processor, so that the airflow from the CPU cools the rest of the heatsinks. If you're using water cooling, my recommendation would be to invest in some good case fans! Perhaps a side-panel fan, blowing in?

                      I guess these caps should be Capsun or Samwha more, not OST. Although Asus like to use OST e-caps in the past.

                      OST polymers should be like this, i take the photos from some ECS motherbaords.

                        Updated the correct information, now is 100% surely these are "ELITE" brand polymers, called CS CON. Here is the UP Series datasheet, made by Chinsan Electronic Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

                          Maybe the caps on the first post are "APAQ" / "APAK" Capacitors.
                          Look at this page: http://www.apaq.com.tw/products/ap_conarea01_en.htm

                                  Hello!

                                  I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                                  The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                                  I have studied the board and...

                                  I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                                  For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                                  Assistance with identifying replacement caps on ASUS P5VDZ-MX
                                  by crosswinds
                                  Hello,

                                  So, pulled a motherboard out from storage, was working when put away, wont post when I took it out of storage today.
                                  Since it was working, and it looks to be essentially time that killed it I figured its a good idea to replace the caps before digging further.
                                  Looks to be only good quality caps on this board, so might not be the issue. But it is closing in on 20 years now so, wont hurt i guess

                                  Its a ASUS P5VDZ-MX board.

                                  I would really appreciate some assistance on what the best replacement caps would be for these:

                                  Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                                  by eryjus
                                  Hello,

                                  First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                                  I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                                  I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                                  ...

                                  GeForce 6800GT recap, need help identifying caps and finding replacements
                                  by fl0w
                                  Hi,

                                  I just noticed that my Asus V9999GT (GeForce 6800 GT) had some swelling capacitors. I managed to identify the brown ones, which are Nippon Chemi-Con KZG series, 6.3V 820µF, which I plan to replace with this.
                                  But for the yellow ones, I guess these are Fujitsu caps, without being able to identify which series... A picture of the video card is attached to the topic.

                                  I need to replace:
                                  • 2x 2.5V 1500µF => I plan to use this
                                  • 2x 16V 330µF=> I plan to use this
                                  • 1x 6.3V 680µF=> I plan to use this
                                  Am I correct with the cap choices?

                                  Thanks for...
