I am trying to replace caps on a Dell GX270 motherboard. I ordered some but when they came in they are taller than what is on the board. The height will not interfere with anything that I can tell. But I was wondering if there is any significant difference in performance or how they are supposed to work between a 6.3v 1500uF cap that is 10mm thick or wide and is 1/2" tall and one with those same specs that is 3/4" tall? Also should I just change out the caps that I can tell are bad? Or should I change all of the ones that are the size of the ones I can tell are blown? The only ones that have popped are this 6.3v 1500uF size. Thanks for any help.

Re: Does the height of a cap make a difference in performance?
Physical size does not matter as long as they will fit on the board and not interfere with anything
Although physically larger capacitors of the same value and voltage are probably higher quality."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: Does the height of a cap make a difference in performance?
The different diameter capacitors can have slightly different values for various parameters like ESR, ripple etc. However they are within the same region as the thicker diameter ones (and they could be exactly the same). The only way you will know for sure whether there is a difference is to check the datasheet for the capacitors that you have bought.
However, generally there is practically no difference.Comment

Hello everyone!
I come with a topic that is the lack of performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card in the HP OMEN 16-B0020NW laptop with an SRKT1 (Intel Core i5-11400H) processor and a DAG3KMB1AB0 REV.B motherboard.
The card shows barely 20 FPS in FurMark under load (with the original battery and original power supply connected). It displays correctly in Device Manager, without any errors. So far, I have reinstalled Windows 11 and updated all drivers and BIOS.
In general, the motherboard was flooded, I managed to bring it back to life and only the graphics... -
I'm working on a Surface Book 2 performance base (M1032224-004 on white sticker) and would love for some help troubleshooting or where to look next.
The tablet when not connected to the base seems to work fine, but:- When tablet is off and connected to the base, it won't turn on.
- Connecting tablet that is already on to base there is a windows device detected tone (not sure what device), but tablet remains in tablet mode, keyboard/trackpad don't work, and windows continues to report only 1 battery.
- Charger white light turns on when connected to the base, but base battery and tablet
