Hello,
I have an ASUS P5KPL-AM board with swollen and leaky capacitors. Amazingly, it still works, but I'm guessing it won't be long before it doesn't so I'm looking to replace the capacitors. All that electrolyte is probably not good for the traces too.
Anyway. Every cap on that board that is 820uf 6.3v is swollen, so that issue is isolated to those specific caps. They're TK AWTY caps. Never heard of them but I suppose they're bad quality.
To replace them, I bought Rubycon ZLH capacitors with the exact same 820uf 6.3v spec. But when I went to test them today, they had a capacitance of 780uf. And that's because they have a capacitance tolerance of 20%.
Will this be okay? All of them are 780uf so I can't cherry pick good ones...
