When to Choose ZL vs. MCZ

>>> it feasable that these 15 electrolytics would boil due to overheating, and not one other single component in the system fail? <<<

Absolutely!
Other parts don't have to deal with pressure effects from liquids, gases, and gases in solution.

Capacitors are filled with liquid which expands and contracts with temperature even if there is no significant gas present at first.
Heat them up enough and they are going to pop.
-
In fact heating them up -too fast- can do the same thing if there is gas present. Warm them up at expected heat-up rates and some gas goes back into solution countering the effects of the expanding liquid. Heat them up way too fast and the gas can't absorb (get out of the way) fast enough for the expanding liquid. - Pressure spike.

Foxconn is that actual manufacturer for (most if not all) Intel boards and has been for several years. - A little outsourcing fact Intel would like to keep hidden from the public.

"brain fart" as Bonez so well puts it.

I would just use polymer capacitors in this case, they have superior endurance at high temperature, lower ESR and lower Z and a very high ripple current rating.
Half the capacitance should be sufficient in case of polymer cap replacement.

thats the bit I was trying to recall and put in correct terms thanks

it ain't now

keep us posted KC8

Re: When to Choose ZL vs. MCZ

cool!
i may have 2 of these little desktop blast furnaces coming in as donations.
i will do one up in your parts and the other in one of the polymers i have.

I am ready in anytime, just shoot me a PM if you need?
