ASUS NCT-D first bad caps after 10 Years !!!

[smilem]

Hello,

I blow dust out every 6 months and I noticed that my ASUS NCT-D Server motherboard had blown one of the 6.3v 1500uF KZG cap. (marked in red)

The motherboard however works fine.

Other caps are OK.

I made this list off all caps, please suggest what to replace. Should I just replace the blown cap and all 6.3v 1500uF?

The yellow caps have no brand. What they are?

P.S. I have Peak ESR70, but the caps can't be measured in circuit, gives me leaky, 0.00mΩ readings

9pcs 6.3v 470uf Rubycon YXG -> Rubycon ZLJ
2pcs 16v 1200uf Nippon Chemi-con KZE -> RUBYCON ZL 16ZLK1200M10X20
1pcs 16v 470uf Rubycon MBZ -> Rubycon ZLJ or WURTH WCAP-PT5H Series 470uf or PANASONIC SEPC 470uf

Full list attached with polymer caps too.
Please post your suggestions ASAP.

The original Yellow caps are polymer, is it needed to replace them given the 10 years, since they do not bulge how to test them?
Desoldering and measuring is the only way?

You need an ESR meter to test these capacitors in-circuit. Check the surrounding areas, especially around the IC pins, for any signs of electrolyte leak. In my opinion, as long as there are no leaks (the board still looks clean) and the capacitor does not bulge, it is best to leave it the way it is. You will never know what else you might damage during the replacement.
