As seen in the bad-caps pic thread, these are the Vcore caps on N2PAP Ultra board from JetWay - Evercon caps, BTW:

The machine has problem starting up (sometimes more that six tries to sucesfull boot-up was need) and also the max. clock was about 2100Mhz for 1.650Vcore and about 2300Mhz semi-stable (but so was the board in general) for 1.575Vcore in Mobile AXP...
The board lack the additional 12V connector, tough my intention is to make it stable and fold for me on more that 2300Mhz. To do it, I intent to replace all the caps, and up the capacity of caps used for the Vcore recap + bridge them with 100nF ceramic caps from their bottoms to make things work better.
The five final Vcore caps are 1500uF 6.3V. The source-filter ones are 2200uF 16V ones. I think about 2200uF and 4700uF ones, but I think the 16V is bogus there and example of bad design, as there is not 12V power connector and therefore the Vcore get powered from 5V (or 3.3V) rail and therefore 6.3V caps are more that enought, while 16V is example of BAD DESIGN, IMHO.
I want to change that and see what the results will be
So, what do you guys think - should I try?
