Re: Suggested Caps for Xbox360

Thanks for the wealth of information... far more than I was expecting! Definitely given me food for thought... as well as raised some more questions!

I have the Falcon board, would it be worthwhile replacing the stock cooling?

I'm intrigued by the idea of switching to polys. Reading the forums, switching to poly seems the way to go. From what I gather, if I do switch then I must change all lytics to polys... What are the pro's and con's of making the switch? Is it worth doing for an xbox360?

In the event...

Hi,

I recently attempted to reflow my xbox360 motherboard with a heat gun. I tried to protect the capacitors with foil but unfortunately some of the capacitors became too hot. Several capacitors are now bulging slightly and one of them appears to have vented just a little at the top (thankfully it didn't overspill on to the motherboard).

To be on the safe side, I'd like to replace these capacitors but I've found it very difficult to source the original Rubycon capacitors in the UK.

I'd be very grateful for suggested alternatives to these capacitors,...
