    Intel DQ35JOE Leaking KZJ caps

    Hello everyone,

    I have an intel motherboard that has 3 leaking 1800uF 6.3V KZJ caps near the ATX connector, and from reading this forum I have found out that the replacement for these would be the Nichicon HN 6.3v 1800uF 8X20mm caps.
    However, I was wondering if it would be ok to use poly caps instead, particularly the Nichicon LG Polymer 6.3v 1800uF 10X13mm.

    I also noticed this board has 5 KZG caps (470uF and 680uF 16V) which from what I gather here, should also be replaced. What would suitable replacements for these be? Looks like the 470uF ones would be replaced with Nichicon HN 470uF (Am I correct?), but for the larger capacity 680uF there seems to be more choices at capking (Rubycon MCZ, WXA, UCC KZE and Nichicon HZ)

    There are also a lot of small 470uF 6.3V KY caps, not sure I want to touch those as they all look fine and there are too many of them.

    You can use polymer capacitors rated for 4v instead of the 1800uF 6.3v electrolytics.
    They use 6.3v electrolytics because that's the lowest popular/common value for electrolytics - the voltage in that area is around 1-1.5v so 4v rating is more than enough.

    With polymer capacitors, you could go down to 1500uF or even lower, so if you don't find some 1800uF 4v or 1800uF 6.3v cheap, you can go with 1500uF. I wouldn't sweat even with 1200uF but you should find 1500uF-1800uF easily.

    The 16v rated capacitors are not that critical, I wouldn't look for some hard to find nowadays capacitors. UCC KZE should be fine, just as Panasonic FM or FR would also be fine.
    If you don't have a really shitty power supply, you could also use 270-330uF 16v polymer capacitors instead of the 470uF ones. For the 680uF, you can use 470uF polymers but those are probably expensive. I'd just use 680-820uF electrolytics.

      IDK if you can call intel and tell them about it... if they can RMA your board for free.

        Thanks, I'll try that. Not sure if they will take it since I don't have my receipt handy, but worth a shot.

        Keeping with the board recap, I think I'll just stick to regular caps, I don;t want to go too off-spec.

        So just to confirm, are these correct replacements for the 1800uF 6.3V KZJ, 470uF 16V KZG and 680uF 16V KZG respectively? Price isn't a huge deal if it goes a few dollars either way, shipping still costs more than the parts for me.

          Mid/late 80's Nichicon Yellow Caps
          by nick3092
          I recently acquired a set of Bose Roomate speakers from the mid to late 80's. Basically the right speaker cabinet is completely passive, and the left one has the power transformer and amplifier circuit in it. Out of curiosity, I opened it up to see what the circuit looked like. Looks like they used all Nichicon VX (2x 4700uF/16v for smoothing off the bridge rectifier), a couple random Nichicon SE series sprinkled on the board, and what really caught my eye - 2 yellow sleeved Nichicon caps (both 1uF/50v with no real series marking. Below are pictures of the caps. The only thing not shown in these...

          Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
          by momaka
          I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

          For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

          It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

          Dell Optiplex GX260 - Advice Needed for Polymodding Motherboard
          by SwedishDiesel
          Howdy folks,

          I have an Optiplex GX260 that blew a couple of those troublesome Nichicon HM series (ultra low ESR) electrolytic capacitors. Because said caps are obsolete, they are pretty much impossible to find on the market; I did find a listing for some but I believe they are counterfeit. I feel the easiest thing to do would be to replace all the blown caps with polymer ones. I am by no means an expert in electronics, and I've found a fair bit of conflicting information, so any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. While from a practical standpoint it's not worth...

          Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
          by Paxman_Swede
          Hello!

          I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

          The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

          I have studied the board and...

          Vintage AT Power Supplies - Selecting Capacitors
          by iMic
          Hi,

          Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.


          The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon...
