    Need new caps

    Nobody replied in my https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?p=87951#post87951 but all I really want is what caps should I replace them with.

    The mobo is a DFI LANParty UT nF3 250Gb.

    List of caps:

    - 20 x Nichicon 1000uF 6.3v HM 105C
    - 5 x Chemi-con KZG 1000uF 10V
    - 1 x Chemi-con KZG 470uF 16V
    - 4 x Chemi-con KZG 1500uF 16V
    - 6 x Chemi-con KZG 3300uF 6.3V
    - 18 x Chemi-con KMG 100uF 16V
    - 4 x Chemi-con KMA 100uF 16V

    The two caps that went visibly bad are Nichicons.

    Thinking about re-capping the whole motherboard. What should I get?

    Thanks!

    Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
    by momaka
    I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

    For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

    It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

    Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
    by eryjus
    Hello,

    First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

    I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

    I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

    Vintage AT Power Supplies - Selecting Capacitors
    by iMic
    Hi,

    Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.


    The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon...

    Help with switching power supply caps
    by captain150
    I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
    I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

    Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
    by Foetuss
    Good evening

    I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
    Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

    But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
    Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
