Re: why the f...? (HP Asus IPIBL-LA)
Good catch.
Looking at the board, though, most of these 820 uF KZGs are probably on a linearly regulated rail, so the ESR shouldn't be a problem. It's the ones around the CPU and also ones near coils that might be on a buck regulated rail (i.e. ones that need to be very low ESR). But even those ZLHs will be many times better than the busted KZG caps.
