Nothing failed, but I use this in my test computer, so I need it to be reliable. I pulled all the OST's with vents and replaced them with Rubycons.
The board had:
15x OST RLP 1000uF 6.3v
3x OST RLG 1000uF 10v
Those were replaced by:
18x Rubycon MCZ 1000uF 10v
In addition to some UCC on the VRM input, and other smaller OST's without vents. I left those alone.
Now I know I violated my own rule by using a different series than what was on the board (replacing the GP RLG's with low ESR Rubycons), but I dont think it will hurt anything.
The board seems to work fine after being recapped.
Here's some pics:
