ASUS P5B-VM poly replacements?

[Yakusa]

Hi.
I want to ask for recomendation about replacement this bad caps for poly caps.

3x 1800uF, 6.3V
5x 1000uF, 16V (these are all good but...)

Motherboard is working.

Thanks in advance!

i would use 3x 1500/6,3 polymer
and 1000/16 polymer

i'm not a fan of downrating polymers myself - others may dissagree.

those polymers wont fit as they are typically 10mm in diameter with such high capacitance or voltage. the p5b-vm looks like it uses 8mm diameter caps there and the 1800uF 6.3v caps are clustered together on the board so squeezing 10mm diameter caps there are not physically possible.

those have to be replaced with 1500uF 6.3v caps from panasonic fr series, rubycon zlh series or chemicon kzm series. those are 8x20mm in size and should fit.

the 1000uF 16v caps seem to be used for the cpu vrm input and the replacements can be from the same series as above with the same 8x20mm size.
