Hi, I am a newbie in badcaps.net
My Antec found serious voltage drop on 5v rail and after check most of secondary side fuhjjyu cap bulge, I have replace all of them (2*3300uF and 4*2200uF) by rubycon YXA 16 3300uF capacitor. because of bigger side of rubycon (12.5mm dia), I forced to expose leg of them but got cover with black selotape. After recap, it working fine. But i worry about accident short between capacitor leg. Can i replace them again by smaller value capacitor?cos i only found panasonic FC series 10v 1500uF and 6.3v 2200uF (10mm dia). is them suitable?
