Replacing a 68uF cap with 100uF

[Pentium4]

There are 2 caps in this Seasonic PSU (They are both Su'scon) that are 68uF 35V. I really don't want to leave them because of the brand but I also don't want to wait for some caps to arrive. One is directly next to the 5VSB IC and the other is next to the main transformer. The closest value I have is 100uF 35V (or 47uF 50V), would this throw things out of whack?

Use the 100uF, if it gives you trouble then try the 47uF one.

I actually decided to leave the 68uF one *sigh* so I just replaced the caps on the 5VSB and 12V rails and called it a day. Thanks for the reply though, I will add it to my "in progress" bin and try it out later. Surprisingly the Su'scon caps I pulled had <0.02 ESR, not bad!
