Still confusing, because KZG/KZJ are known for failing without showing it...
Like I said.
Caps can fail a number of different ways.
.
If you want a definite answer then send me about $50k and I'll get some spectrum analyzers and other lab equipment and build a small lab in the back yard so I can see what their chemistry does for certain.
.
Otherwise you're just going to have to live with educated guesses....

I don't measure bloated ones. - I just replace them.
I imagine most people do it that way.
So you aren't going to fund my new lab?
If you were ever in town I'd let you use the hot tub...
Every lab should have a hot tub.
All that 'stress' testing,,, you know..

I also have the same problem emachine t5048 (bios flash with last intel fw) with the D102GGC2 board.
looking to replace it with
1x 820uF 6.3v 8mm Samxon GD or nichicon HN
4x 1000uF 16v 10mm nichicon HZ or Samxon GC or Panasonic FM
15x 3300uF 6.3v 10mm nichicon HZ or Samxon GC
Don't forget about UCC's NPCAP lines. Don't have large values when you pass 4v, but their impedance almost dips into the nano-ohm range they are so low.

Go with the Nichicons. They are considered to be a better brand
Thank.
will place my order when I can determent what cap i need for my dell 8400 to keep price down.
what i have so far
D102GGC2 board:
15x 820uF 6.3v 8mm nichicon HN
4x 1000uF 16v 8mm nichicon HZ
1x 3300uF 6.3v 10mm nichicon HZ
Dell 8400:
1x 2200uF 10v 10mm nichicon HZ
1x 2200uF 6.3v 10mm nichicon HN
5x 1000uF 10v 10mm Rubycon MCZ
Well, this computer worked for years on a daily basis without a problem. I maxed the ram to 2GB (yes, this board cannot take 2GB DDR2 dimms..).
Several months ago I had some random BSOD, so I opened the case and found a bulging Rubycon MFZ. I can't blame the cap cause it was sitting under the LGA775 heatsink. I continued using compurer as a file server, then all the electrolytic capacitors on the CPU VRM out failed (3x Rubycon MFZ 680uF 4V 8mm). Computer kept working with some random BSOD, then it couldn't even boot Windows Xp
2 Panasonic FJS 820uF 6.3V 8mm capacitors bulged. I think those 2 caps are the VRM out capacitors for RAM.
I would like to find suitable replacement caps for MFZ. There is no datasheet available for them. Are they equivalent with MCZ? Another problem is that the replacement caps need to be no taller than the original or else they will touch the heatsink.
I don’t know if it’s just the pictures, but the FETs (linear regulators, by the looks of it) by those Panasonic FJS look like they were running rather on the warm side. If a system of that age is worth it to you, I’d recommend polymodding both Panasonic FJS in that location and the 3 failed 680uF 4V Rubycon MFZs. As far as I know, Rubycon MFZ is supposed to be equal to Nichicon HZ.
Notice that the ram has 2 red leds right where the bulged caps are located. The airflow is blocked by the ram dimms and all this makes it a rather hot spot that cooked those FJs
Nice, looks like the board has been really really toasty though!
Also take a look at the VRM input caps (right by the parallel port).
They look like they might be pushing their bungs out, as they are standing at odd angles...
