    No. Not good to change capacitance.
    You also cannot use capacitors from RadioShack, Frys, etc. They do not sell low esr capacitors.
    Capacitors can be ordered from badcaps.net or Digikey, if you need help ordering, just ask one of us here.
    Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
    For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

      Obviously, I concur with Tom66. The uf is the most important number - don't change it!

        3COM OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch 16 (3C1671600)

        The switch has served me for 10+ years (was new when I bought it). It's a nice switch with connections on the back which makes for quite a clean desk. Reason for taking it apart was that the cooling fan was noisy so I expected it to be dirty/dusty inside and the need to order a new fan. What I found was that it was very dirty/dusty and some electrolytic capacitors which needs attention. There are 3 capacitors which needs to be replaced but the ESR on some of the other ones might be bad as well so I think I'll replace them all. Original...

        ZUMAX Technology (Leadman Power) ZU400W (X1), Modifications & Life Test
        by RukyCon
        Hello Again, so i'm bringing back this Zumax PSU from the gutless thread and going to be doing some modifications, and also putting it into a PC i'm going to throw together out of spare parts to see how long it lasts.

        So the first thing i did was fill in the missing filtering, by replacing the cheap common mode choke with a real one and adding a 470nf X2 capacitor in the open capacitor spot, i then replaced the fake Y-class capacitors with real ones, i also swapped out the mismatched primary caps with a pair of Aishi WK 470uf 200v caps, both of which test around 520uf. I also swapped...

        DFI Lanparty NF3 250GB recapping
        by laskr1999
        Hello!
        I have got a DFI Lanparty NF3 250GB motherboard, that have all of the capacitors failed, board still working.
        I have read, that I need to match ESR, Capacitance, Voltage to have a quality recap, but with ESR im in a problem. 0.012 ohm is what i see on the vrm caps specs, but lowest I could find is 0.018 and up, usually 0.04. Can someone help me find good replacements?
        I'm located in EU, and I have found a guy here on the forums who listed the caps, so here are they:
        - 20 x Nichicon 1000uF 6.3v HM 105C
        - 5 x Chemi-con KZG 1000uF 10V
        - 1 x Chemi-con KZG...

        Help recapping DFI motherboard
        by kupa97
        I have a DFI LANParty UT nF4 Ultra-D with A TON of bad capacitors and I need help deciding which caps to replace them with, I've never done this before so I'll use this as a learning experience. I have included a color-coded photo of every single bulging capacitor on this motherboard. All bad caps are KZG, the KY and KMG caps seem to be in perfect condition at least visually. I've read about replacing these caps with polymer ones, but I'm not sure which ones to buy. Thanks.

        BLUE = 470uF 16v 8mm x 11.5mm
        GREEN = 1000uF 6.3v 8mm x 11.5mm
        PINK = 1500uF 16v 10mm x 19.5mm...
