MSI RS480M (7145 v2.1)...help

[Lobo]

Alright, I've got an MSI mobo mentioned in the title. It was pulled from an e-machine, model W3410. The previous owner did not take care of this computer. There was so much dust in the case that I could have planted a tree in it. Here is the motherboard in case anyone is interested.

I also attached a pic of some of the blown caps.

Blown Rubycons. What!?!? Rubycon's? Yeah, I'm guessing the age of the caps and the heat from the CPU was just too much for them.

I need help finding replacements

Rubycon
MCZ
T0521
6.3v 1800uf
105ºC
diameter 8 mm, height 20 mm

I always forget to check the store here first. Will these Nichcons do the trick?

Yes, those will work.
These would be even better: https://www.badcaps.net/store/produc...roducts_id=146

Replace the ones on the left also... but those are probably rated for 16v ... the ones near the 4 pin cpu connector.

I know I see some non-bloated KZJs over there... You better change those too. I think have this board sitting around here somewhere...

I'd replace the busted ones with these - https://www.badcaps.net/store/produc...products_id=77. They are in between the MOSFTES, chokes and CPU - some of the hottest parts on the board

use https://www.badcaps.net/store/produc...roducts_id=173 for the other four on the left.

Thanks guys. And yeah, I was gonna just replace them all but I had trouble finding replacements for the Rubycons...And boy are Rubycons tough. Just look at how bad those caps are, and guess what? The PC would still boot up 1 out of every 3 times. haha
