ObscureParadox Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 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.

knopflerbruce Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I remember this board, voltages all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Oh yeah tell me about it. Now the caps are starting to go on them I can't get any decent overclock stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted January 6, 2014 Crew Share Posted January 6, 2014 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Oh I know that but it just can't keep a CPU stable anyway I'll have a look to see what I can come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted January 6, 2014 Crew Share Posted January 6, 2014 You mean they leaked or what? If yes, of course it won't keep a CPU stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted January 6, 2014 Crew Share Posted January 6, 2014 Same voltage rate and best capacity you can get to fit. Then comes to what is available at your place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
