Hi guys,
I'd like to recap the motherboard as there are 8 bulging 1800uF 6.3V OST RLZ caps. The RLZ series is not listed on the OST website: http://www.ost.com.tw/products_ec_list.asp so I have no clue what the specs are. I imagine they must be low ESR. There are also four 1500uF 10V RLX caps which are supposedly Ultra Low ESR but they look fine.
The dimensions of the 1800uF caps are 8 x 20 mm with 3.5mm lead spacing.
The only suitable replacements that actually fit the dimensions are Nichion HN and HM series, HM being about 50% cheaper. The question is, would it be safe to use HM caps?
I'm also considering doing a poly mod but can't figure out which caps would be alright to use.
Cheers,
SainT
