Replacement of Nec/Tokin 0D128 capacitor on my Toshiba motherboard

[Qattos]

Hi everyone,

I browsed the forum for threads talking about the 0D128 Nec/Tokin capacitor but found them only about 0E128 even on Google there's nothing about it, and since i'm a noob in these matters i figured i'd ask before replacing anything, so yeah, my Nec/Tokin capacitor is marked by 0D128 and after some digging i found that means 1200uf 2v, i found a thread about the 0E128 where people said it's fine to replace it with 4 330uf 2.5v capacitors, the 0E stands for 2.5v and 128 for 1200uf, in my case the 0D stands for 2v only, so my question is, is it safe to use capacitors that have higher voltage than my Nec/Tokin capacitor rated at 2v ? And while you're at it, which type or kind of capacitors should i buy ? Ones that withstand heat, i use my laptop for gaming.
I will disassemble my laptop tonight and take some pictures if you wanna have a look.

Thanks everyone.

Higher voltages Tantalum Smd capacitors are better , as heat dissipation , longer life's expectancy and better handling raising voltages . If any inconvenient are there , it's more power consumption , a negligeable factor here .
Here's a link for multi choices , and the higher the price , it's better ..That's the truth that everyone try to avoid , lol :

I have one remark here concerning the replacing process :

1- Many complaint from the de-soldering and soldering process , so , if you're not using a heat gun , better remove the CPU and the cooling mechanism from the other side , or else , you'll definitely need a 80 Watts Iron at least to do the job perfectly .

Thanks for your reply, now that i got that right, can you give me your opinion on this one https://www.arrow.com/en/products/ee...31r4/panasonic
Seems like it can handle as much as 125 degree celcius and overall perfect, low ESR rated at 4.5 mOhm, 470 uF, 2.5 V, i think using 3 of it is more than enough, don't you think ?

Concerning de-soldering and soldering, i saw a video where a guy carefully removes the Nec/Tokin cap with a knife and solders the new caps in its place and it worked, i will definitely remove the CPU and the cooling mechanism just to be safe.
