    Looks like 5K Series and EE series.
    No data sheets found but probably solid poly and I wouldn't worry about them.

      Yup. Definately Apaq. They are polys, but only time will tell whether they are good polys.
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

        I've never heard of a bad poly.

          Which motherboard is that?
          "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

            Fujitsu and Elite poly's are known for exploding under heavy conditions (overclocking on PSU's with bad caps). Trodas collected some examples here and on other sites too.

              kc8adu has also seen a few bad polys on boards.

              the quality of materials is critical.
              already seen some shorted on an ecs board.

                The early Fujitsu Hybrid Polymers did have occasional problems but those aren't solid polymer.
                They were wet and their problem was moisture leaking IN.

                As to your thread try reading it.
                The only bad polys there were blown by a bad PSU. It says so.

                  What do you expect. - He works on industrial equipment.
                  Factory/machine shop conditions can blow any cap especially when morons block vents let chips and other crap into the mobo bay.

                  I haven't seen a 'bad brand' of poly caps. - None.

                  Lytics fail because they are full of liquid that undergoes chemical reactions usually by reacting with impurities in the aluminum.

                  Solid Polymers got no liquid.
                  Same failure modes -> can't happen.
