Hey guys, first time poster - also first time attempting to recap a motherboard!
I've had a good read through the forums but just want to make sure that I am making sensible choices for replacement caps for this Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard.
Background: I picked up the machine this motherboard belonged to Facebook marketplace, so its history is unknown. By the looks of it, this machine probably stopped working at some point because the original PSU was replaced (PSU in it has modern plugs that didn't exist when this machine was new - 8pin and 24pin connectors were the giveaway).
I haven't tried powering this machine on because I wanted to do a full inspection first. As you can see from the attached images, the state of the KZG caps suggest it might not have worked anyway. The caps on the DPS module are slightly bulged but figured they should be replaced anyway.
I tracked down a schematic and I believe the KZG 3300uf 6.3v caps (10x25mm) are for vcore and the 1500uf 16v cap (10x20mm) is for 12v in.
I have found some Panasonic caps I thought might be a suitable replacement:
3300uf - https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/alumi...citors/7660044
1500uf - https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/alumi...citors/7083651
I'm just looking for guidance around whether the ESR, ripple and impedance of these caps will be OK.
Cheers!
