caps for mobo

[Tom Del Rosso]

Of all the types of electrolytics at Digikey or Mouser, which do you favor
for replacement of bulging mobo caps?

I used Rubycon,

Here's where I got mine, He has other brands too.

I didn't get the kit, just replace the bulging caps.
The computer worked a couple years, then the HD died.

Just fired up a new computer build yesterday.

Digikey, Panasonic FM series is what I use.

Thanks. There is no parts kit at badcaps.net for this model, so I would go
with that because Panasonic has a wide selection. Only question is, ESR is
not even spec'd. The Nichicon is a couple of ohms. Any idea what the FM
spec is?

I think a couple of ohms would be roughly 100x higher than normal,
unless the cap is small, like 10uF. For 1,000uF @ 10V, ESR is
probably around 0.02 ohm.

That sounds right, but oddly the mouser catalog has 1 to 3.5 ohms listed.

Thanks for all the info.
