The Bad Capacitor FAQ
7.3 What values of caps should I use to replace the ones on the board?
"You can increase the capacitance (uf) as you see fit ...................
So if we give some examples :............330uf 25V - These are seen on some boards like Gigabyte. You can probably replace with 1000uf 16V like we did on a few boards without problems"

So from what you are saying - the standard capacitors are a minimum workable value only. Presumably just enough to smooth the power supply to an acceptable degree???
So there would be no problem in replacing say a 2700uF Cap with a 3300 one of the same voltage?
I would be interested in getting some feedback on this from anyone who has tried it or anyone who might offer some technical advice.
I have a bunch of higher value candidates that may be put to better use.
