I noticed the small caps in my MSI-5184 m/b isn't broken or swollen - should I need to replace it anyway? Or just replace the big and the swollen ones? I have around 4 1000 microfarads caps which are already swollen. So what's the best brand for the caps for my m/b anyway?
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: Capacitors - Small ones?
Originally posted by The_YongGrandOh, just wondering, is the size of the capacitor matters also? I have two swollen large 1000 micro-farads caps, and they are tall. So if I replace them with the same value but in smaller size..... will it work?

Re: Capacitors - Small ones?
Same and/or higher? If I put a cap with the voltage and capacitance higher than the original, the board will still survive? Just wondering, is that a theory behind this? I'm a bit ignorant in terms of electronics, and I'm learning actually....
Thanks for the info anyway, I'm going to recap my MSI-5184 right now. Pray that it'll work... Heh heh...
