PC Partner board De-capped.
Hello Everyone,
I have a PC Partner motherboard sitting on my workbench. It is an Achieva Australia OEM board with a VIA P4X266E chipset, running off PC100 SDRAM.
I took out all the 3300uf 10V Hitano caps around the CPU last week.... only because they were too large and dust was crowding all wround the legs because I had some caps bent parallel to the motherboard.
There are 9x 3300uf caps. I don't understand why we need so many caps with a high capacitance. I have some boards here with only 6x 1500uf and they work well with a P4 2.4GHz. This board only powers a Northwood Celeron 2GHz.
Anyway....
I want to know if it would be wise or even safe to use all Hitano EXR Low ESR 2200uf 10V caps??
The original caps on this board were bulging 3300uf 6.3V Licons.
2200uf 10V seems to be the only cap closest to 3300uf with a barrel diameter of 10mm and a height of 20mm.
Thanks.
