This board from an IBM ThinkCentre 8184 has solid caps in VRM, and a mixture of Rubycon and Chemicon electrolytics elsewhere
In this case, the Chemicon KZG beside the northbridge heatsink lives up to its reputation for disliking heat and is bulging top and bottom
Other KZGs, mixed with Rubycon, still appear OK
Whereas the same model that I use every day scored all Rubycon in the lottery, and shows no sign of any problem
