What caps for a Sparkle 9600 GT Cool-pipe?

[amartolos]

This card has only 3 electrolytics on it. It still runs fine, but they make me feel uneasy. It has one UCC KZG with 680 uF / 16 V, another KZG with 470 uF / 16 V, and one Teapo SC with 100 uF / 10 V. At digikey I found Panasonic FM for the KZG's and FR for the Teapo, with the following differences: the 470 uF has ESR 0.038 Ohm, compared with the original 0.036 Ohm. The 100 uF has an ESR of 0.300 Ohm, compared with the 0.420 Ohm of the Teapo. Are these huge differences or I can live with them?

You can use them with no problems at all.

Seeing that you're in Germany you might want to check http://www.farnell.com or http://www.rs-components.com and see if you can get better shipping costs (smaller)

Thanks for the reply. Yes, being in Europe is hard on the shipping costs. Actually TopCat has unbeatable prices, too bad he does not ship other electronic components. I'll see what is best.
