    Blown caps on XFX 8600 GT. What to buy?

    I didn't want to reopen an old thread, so I decided to make a new one.
    The old thread was here...https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8413

    Basically, I have the same problem.
    3 capacitors blew...

    2 x FZ 1500uF 6.3V
    1 x FZ 1000uF 6.3V

    I wanted to replace all the FZ capacitors like it recommended in the previous thread so I checked out the BadCaps store and found the right options, but since I'm in Canada I wanted to know if I could get the replacements from a local store.
    There's a local store called Sayal Electronics that sells more electronics than anyone could need in a lifetime and I found some good comparables (I think).

    I'm definitely not knowledgeable about voltages and whatnot, so I wanted a second opinion.

    The capacitors I wanna replace are as follows:
    3 x FZ 1500uF 6.3V
    1 x FZ 1000uF 6.3V
    3 x FZ 470uF 16V

    Unfortunately I can't get URL's for the searches, but I attached the screenshots of the searches, respectively.

    I was hoping you guys could give me the best options for each so I can look into pricing.
    It would be much appreciated if you could just provide the SKU number (on the left side of the Part/Stock Number), I can take it from there

    Thank you

    For the 1500uF, the 10th one down (UHN1A152MPD).
    For the 1000uF, the 2nd one down might work, but these or these would be a better option (it's OK to replace 6.3v caps with 10v).
    For the 470uF, none of them would work. Use these , these or these (you lower the capacitance when you replace electrolytics with polymer caps).
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      That rule of thumb only applies if the cap is a filter cap for a VR or VRM.
      [As like filtering power..]
      In other applications the uF may be important.

        FZ 1500uF 6.3V
        - 10x12.5mm - ESR= 0.022 / Ripple = 1800

        FZ 1000uF 6.3V
        - 8x12mm - ESR= 0.036 / Ripple = 1150

        FZ 470uF 16V
        - 8x12mm - ESR= 0.036 / Ripple = 1150
        - 10x12.5mm - ESR= 0.022 / Ripple = 1800

        Smaller ESR # = better
        Larger Ripple # = better
