Hv In Place Of Kzg ?

[ReeceyBurger123]

Hi all just got this asus motherboard in today and noticed that someone has professionally replaced some caps on the output of the cpu vrm. The caps are 1000uf 16v 10mm Di nichicon Hv, looking at images of this board the original caps used in the replaced ones are ucc kzg. Will the Hv work inplace of the Kzg or shall I order some Mbz's ?

Assuming the cap is 8x20mm, the specs are as follows:

KZG:
Impedance 0.021 Ripple 1870

HV:
Impedance 0.031 Ripple 1550

So the HV are slightly inferior, but they might work here (VRM high), especially if your PSU isn't too noisy.

On Asus boards these caps are almost always interchangeable with 16V 270uF (Or more) polymer caps.

The question is, did he use real HV caps or eBay knockoffs?

Thanks for the reply Mockingbird, they look real when it comes to the sleeve, I might desolder one and get a look at the bung just to be sure.
