GeForce 6600 pci express capacitor replacement help

[ryan74]

Computer worked fine last night, today it seems to boot but no image.
Blown capacitor(see pics) is:
FZ4C 1500uf 6.3v.
There are 4 like this. I guess ill replace them all.
I know the FZ are crap, I just want to verify my choices below are ok and does it pay to spend more on the united chem con?

If my choices are no good please suggest a replacement.

This link is to a post for the same card but with slightly different caps(FZ54 vs. FZ4C)

Mariushm says in post 5. Nichicon HN series is fine.

Yes those should work well. Clean out the fan and heatsink too, re apply thermal paste

I replaced the 4 caps this afternoon and so far so good. I also cleaned fan and heat sink that was 80% blocked.
Thanks

Wow, looks like those FZs have no vents either!

You replaced just those large 4 FZs? Better replaced the small FZs too. And if those blue caps with gold stripes are OST or GSC - get rid of them too.

Those blue ones with the gold stripes look like Lelon or Skywell

I plan on replacing the other caps. Had to make sure it would still work first.

I've seen that before on an almost new GF 210. They hadn't failed, but I recapped the card anyway, and then I reverse-polarised the vent-less sacons on a 12V PSU.

Over here, I have a Ruby in 1500uF 6.3V!

And even a lousy KZG is better than that POS!

What brand are they? Now I'm curious
