hp dx5150 / ms-7050 bad caps question(s)

[bfordz]

I've got another HP board running fine but when I went to do some preventive maintenance (clean out the dust) I found most of the caps bulging or bad series.

Most are Teapo's SM or UCC-KZG series.
I'm looking to order cap from here and my questions are these:

1)
The teapo's are 6.3v 1000uf ripple=950 esr=.053
-looking at Nichicon hz 6.3v 1000uf ripple=2210 'impedance'=14

The ESR=.053 and the impedance=14 is what has me wondering?

Are the HZ's the right choice to replace the teapo sm's?

2)
The board has two different size 6.3v 1500uf caps in the KZG series;
8mm and 10mm and I can't find a direct replacement for the 8mm.

In the HZ series they have an 8mm 1500uf but it's 10v, that should work ok, correct? It's ok to go up in voltage one notch?

TIA

thats an mohm impedance measurement, so its really 0.014

they should be fine

going from 6.3 to 10 is ok. Also, if there is enough space around the 8mm, you can use a 10, the spacing is so close on the leads it should not make any difference

edit: are those to the right of the memory bloated too? its hard to tell with your picture

Yes, those are the Teapo's, and they're ALL bloated.

replace all teapos, anything with "KZG" too

there are apparently different versions of this board. An earlier hardware version (1.x) uses mostly panasonic caps, KZG's on the PCI/-E slots, and southbridge vrm

apparently this is what happens when HP wants to cut corners. Come out with later versions of the board (yours is clearly 2.x) that has cheaper parts. And this shit happens.

Thank You for the clarification on the caps questions and the added advise about the two version of boards.

This board does have 4 panasonic caps; like you said, that must have been the limit of their budget. nice! thank you very much hp!!

And I just "thought" I was going to clean the dust out and re-assign this Pc!
