Nice save. You were lucky.

other options would be from Nichicon or Panasonic, all things being the same im not sure why some cost more then other from the same brand. as in all ratings are the same, i dont see anything in the pdf that makes one better then another. why not go with the lower cost caps?
higher voltage rating on caps, from what i recall should follow 10% min. higher then voltage going into the cap. i like 20%, the question is what voltage, 3.3v or 5v? if its 3.3v then the rating is already way more then needed and close to 50%, if its 5v rail then even at 20% the cap would need to be 6v. stick with 6.3v and the same uF rating, you might find by going to a higher voltage or uF rating. the cap might be larger in diamater then the current one and may not fit on the board. all depends on spacing around the area of the cap.
i would suggest this

but i dont know if they ship to CA and you need a $10 min order.
No kidding!Nice save. You were lucky.
yea if they are in the vrm section its the 5v rail on P3's back then. computers didnt move to the 12v rail for cpu voltage supply till P4's, either get the 6.3v's ur linked too. there is still nothing wrong with sanyo caps either, some are just better in different applications then other. Prolly more then likely for slight changes in chemistry or manufacturing. for computer the general purpose caps will be good enough.
RAM temps are fine. ECC REG memory runs hotter than regular.
Rubycon caps are the ones I like best.

im not sure what your talking about atm, where were these caps located? as to me it sounds like you had some laying around and want to use them. either that or they were caps on the board that are bulging as well?
if your already replacing caps, do them all at once. that way your not tearing it down to do the work again, more of a time saver imo. if they are for the 12v rail then possibly someone recapped the board and used higher rated ones they had on hand. still hard to say since i dont know what brand they were using back then, i would just replace them.
Takes me to the digikey homepage with a large searchbar.
Yes. Curious to know, did you just pick at the solder with the needle to clean it?Did you check my links?
