Re: Nichicon RS Series capacitors


So basically I have to resolder all caps on this motherboard No, not worth it - it's just an old socket A. In fact I already put these fake RS Nichicons on it. I got them at Sayal, it's a pretty famous store for components in Toronto area, I didn't expect them to sell fake capacitors. Oh well, never stop learning I guess...

According to Nichicon Datasheets RS series has to be fat and short (18x15mm), when mine are skinny and tall (10x29mm). Also, RS only goes to 85 degrees, when mine say 105C. So they are 100% fake, Nichicon...

Greetings,

I've got Asus K7N8X-X motherboard. It has popped capacitors in the Video Card area. They are Nichicon 6.3V 3300uF 105C [B]HM[/B] Series H0345.

I don't really need this motherboard, but I still want to recap it. I've got Nichicon 16V 3300uF [B]RS[/B] Series H0912. They look exactly the same, only difference is HM were black and these new RS are green.

So my question is whether RS is a good replacement for HM. I know they may be not military spec but that's all I could find for 3300uF

Thanks!Greetings,
