    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.

            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.
