DFI LanParty NF3 250GB re-cap advice

Featured Replies

Hi there guys,

 

I've got two NF3 250gb boards here which need the caps changing on them.

 

Since they need to be changed, I though that maybe putting solid caps on them might help a little tiny bit as it should reduce the ripple going to the cpu.

 

What I need to know is whether or not it will be a case of finding the exact same rated capacitor in polymer form or whether it was a bit more complicated than that.

 

The caps that need changing are :

 

6 x 6.3v 3300 uF

 

4 x 16v 1500 uF

 

1 x 10v 1000 uF

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for your time.

Voltage rate no less than yours have now. And capacity as close as you can find (solid caps have lower capacitance than older electrolytic, though perform better).

They are bulging pretty badly so I suppose yes they are leaking. But I would prefer to replace them with solid caps but I don't know what to search to find them.
