Hi guys/gals,
I have this geforce 2 card that needs a recap.
It contains some nichicons but also some purple Sanyo OS-CON 510uf 4 volt according to the label. Unfortunately the product range is not on the label and i also cannot find the 510uf specs in their (older) PDF datasheets/catalogs using google.
Besides that, i can't find any matching 510uf these days either.
As a general rule I know you can deviate about 20% max on UF (510uf in this case), but what would/could happen if I were to use 560uf for it, since this cap can also deviate 20% and might have a uf of 560 x 1,20?
I am thinking about recapping the whole card using polymers, just to be sure it gets low ESR. Also given the fact that I don't know the exact specs of this Sanyo OS-CON 510uf 4v cap and I also don't know what the caps purpose is. I know it might not be necessary but Polymers are pretty affordable these days and I will be sure of Low ESR since Low ESR electrics aren't available anymore.
I read alot about capacitors yet i'm still pretty new regarding to my experience. What would you advise?
