    Was there a good Chhsi capacitor era, or are they all rubbish?

    I have a MS-6156 mobo from about mid 1999, and the whole board is covered in them, but they all look fine. Should I replace them or leave them be? The reason why I ask is I'm replacing a load of chhsi caps on a few later msi mobos from a 2000-01 which are bulging and was wondering if it is worthwhile changing the ones of this board or not.

    Recently I replaced three Chhsi 560uF 25V, WG(M), -40 +105 'C, 9846 (46th week of 1998) on an IBM PC 300PL Slot 1 motherboard. Visually they were fine but I replaced them because I've seen multiple pictures of them failed on someone else's PCs, however in all those pictures they were dated 9936 instead. It didn't solve any problems for me, so they were not bad caps. I haven't tested them in any way after removing them, though. If your mobo works fine, I would refrain for now.

      Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

      Title:
      Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

      Description:
      During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
      I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

      Procedure performed:
      - Removed backplate
      - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
      - Reapplied thermal compound
      - Reassembled card

      Observed behavior after reassembly:
      - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

      Good brands of run capacitor for house heat hump
      by cook
      Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
      Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

      Thanks

      RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
      by Prolog
      Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

      I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

      I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
      (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

      I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

      If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
      by chth96
      I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
      Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
      It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
      So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
      I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

      Is this capacitor any good???
      by Sinnyone
      Hi all. Just checking to make sure if this cap is good bad ugly.
      I believe it is supposed to be .047 with a 10% tolerance. I just want to make sure Im reading this correctly.
      44.89nF or .044mF
      on the schematic, it is c4
      So, it looks like it is just barely ok. what you guys think please.
      Thank you...
