Nichicon HD on Intel D875PBZ

[ZuluLima]

I just got a brand new zero hour D875PBZLK C27085-209 and was wondering what the Nichicon HD 1500f 10v does? Its Between the sec. IDE and Dimm socket (circled in red). Next to it is a Rubycon ZL 2200f 16v with a resistior coil (circled in yellow). I am going to recap the KZG and KZE's in the vrm and regulator with Rubycon. I want to replace the HD with a Rubycon, but I don't know if the Nichion HD is a filter for the rest of the Nichions on the board. I would like to get rid of all the Nichicons all together for some Samxon. The Dimms are powered by some nice Sanyo and 1500f 6.3 Rubycon. Should I leave the Nichion HD alone? Has there ever been any problems with the HD series?

Thanks

Nichicon HD and Chemicon KZE are reliable series. I'd say no need to replace those unless you're having issues.

Chemicon KZG are failure prone. I'd recommend replace with Rubycon MBZ or better.
