Re: DFI-ITOX G4S600-B with Chemicon KZGs - compatible caps?

Along with low ESR you want a capacitor with a high Endurance rating. The Panasonic FR series is now rated 5,000 hours at 105° C. Most are listed as 2,000 hours at 105° C.



Choose a cap that has a 105° C 'Lifetime @ Temp' or 'Load Life' rating of 5,000 hours or higher if you're looking for long service life.

BTW - I worked at the manufacturer of your motherboard (DFI-ITOX) for 7 years. We and many other MB manufacturers had a slew of MB returns due to bad caps. Flatscreen...

The Panasonic FR series is a good choice for switching regulator applications such as on this motherboard.



Just make sure the diameter and lead spacing will fit and the same or higher working voltage.

There is a known issue with the Chemicon KZG capacitors. More info here:

Ripple current and high-ESR is what caused these caps to fail.Re: DFI-ITOX G4S600-B with Chemicon ...mpatible caps?
