Re: Can I replace a 1800uf with a 2200uf 6.3v?

thanks for the info....I will look around...oh yeah by the way..the originals are 6.3v....can I still use the 16v??....I would think not but you guys are the pros.

I have a Dell gx280 and My mobo is fried all 9 of the caps between the cpu and the printer port are either leaking a yellowish powder or look like a frozen beer can. There are nichicon 1800uf 6.3v 8mm X 20mm 105 degrees and i have looked on digikey and I could not find anything near that diameter. So I found some on ebay and to no avail they are 13mm and will not fit without overcrouding each other. I guess I could rig them in there but i want to do this the correct way. So I have looked some more to no avail but a local electonis store has some 2200uf 6.3v 10mm X 20mm but are 85 degrees. Will...

Re: dell Optiplex gx280

I have a full size case gx280 and my caps are bad....They all look like a frozen can and ther is a yellowish orange powder coming from 7 of the 9 caps at the haet sink between the cpu and the printer port. I did but some 1800uf 6.3v caps but they are the wrong size....After finally finding the right 1800 uf and 6.3v i bought them....only 8 bucks shipped for 9 caps...but these are about 12mm and they will not fit without running together. I looked at digikey and mosler but they are all 12mm ...mine are 8mm wide. Can somebody point me in the right direction...
