    Is it ok to replace Rubycon MCZ with MBZ? Same specs...

    I accidently ordered a 6.3v 820uf Rubycon BMZ capacitor to replace a 6.3v 820uf Rubycon MCZ - is it ok to use the BMZ? What is the difference between the two?

    Sorry is this is a newbie question - I did make an effort to read through all of the related FAQs. Thanks for your help..

      One has to be a newbie to become an oldbie.

      95+% chance it won't be a problem.

          An Intel motherboard - (E210882) - D865GBF/D865Sperc chipset. It comes out of a whitebox PC.

          Good chance it won't be a problem? Good news! Thanks for your help.

              MBZ should be fine.

              If you have Nichicon HN or HM series on that with 2002, 2003, or 2004 date codes you should replace those too.
              There were some bad batches of those and Intel ended up with some of them.
              I know that board is one of the affected models.

                  Rubycon MBZ are one of the best aluminum electrolytic capacitors for motherboard use.

                      I stock both MBZ and MCZ, and regularly use MBZ when I cannot obtain the MCZ.

                      I guess you could look at the MBZ as the Gold Standard, and the MCZ as the Platinum Standard. Both are very high quality components.

                          by spike93
                          Hi everyone,
                          I'm probably going to ask a very noob question but after many readings and videos I'm still unsure on the answer.

                          I've broken one of the caps around the gpu of an xbox 360 by overheating it. In the forum I've found this thread where the user had exactly my situation (same console version and same broken caps): https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24983

                          The difference is that I've broken only one of the Rubycon caps (or at least that's what I can tell from a visual inspection). Now I'm planning to use a solid capacitor as replacement,...

                          by quickname
                          I'd like to start out by thanking this forum for providing the info to be able to repair my 15 year old CP1500AVRLCD UPS. Here is all the info I gathered during my trouble-shooting and re-capping.

                          Like clockwork, I've had to replace the SLA batteries every 4 years. It was about that time and the UPS was acting like it needed new batteries... randomly shutting off with AC present, not being able to charge fully, and poor runtime when AC was removed. So, I replaced the batteries but noticed that it was not charging properly.

                          I decided to verify that the batteries were...

                          by P4C800
                          Hi,

                          I'd like to recap some of my old mainboards (they are from 1998) before switching them on again for the first time after many years in storage. All caps still look good from the outside.
                          There are three mainboards:
                          - ASUS P5A rev 1.04
                          - ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Rubycon"
                          - ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Chemi-Con"

                          If you are interested in their specs, The Retro Web has pages for the P5A and the P2B-S.

                          They all have many 1000uF 6.3V 105°C capacitors. But there are some differences I cannot figure out.

                          P5A
                          ...

                          Hello,

                          I have an ASUS P5KPL-AM board with swollen and leaky capacitors. Amazingly, it still works, but I'm guessing it won't be long before it doesn't so I'm looking to replace the capacitors. All that electrolyte is probably not good for the traces too.

                          Anyway. Every cap on that board that is 820uf 6.3v is swollen, so that issue is isolated to those specific caps. They're TK AWTY caps. Never heard of them but I suppose they're bad quality.

                          To replace them, I bought Rubycon ZLH capacitors with the exact same 820uf 6.3v spec. But when I went to test...

                          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:
