I've got an old HP board that went out due to some bad caps and I'm gonna replace with some NCC's I have.

Though, I can't tell what brand these caps are (pictures as soon as I can get a new camera but that may be a bit.)

The caps themselves are yellow with a K shape on top. Anyone have idea what these are? They're from the P4 erra.

Those are most likely Fujitsu caps... Is there a symbol, a stylized capital "F", both underlined and overlined? If yes, then I'm definitely right.

Found the old camera and a cap that wasn't jizzed all over.

That's a Fujitsu like you're talking about?

Should I be worried about replacing this guy (as he looks fine.) Runnin a bit low on the NCC's and the board needs to have 5 of these caps replaced as well as 2 OSTs that are lookin a bit buldgy at the top.

That's exactly the type I had in mind, yes. Those are very good caps, I wouldn't bother replacing any that aren't failed; moreover, I am yet to actually see a failed one. Asus used to love those, I remember seeing them on older boards and on some relatively modern ones, like the A7V133 for example...

As for the OSTors, go ahead and pull them out. You'd be doing the board a favor :)

I figured I'd take out the OSTs. They're really small guys and only 3 of them but I think I've got the caps to replace them anyways.

Not sure why the Fuji caps failed but one is definitely leaking and the other looks like it may burst soon. It's keeping the board from powering on though.

This is an Asus/HP OEM board. Some Intel chipset (probably an 875 or somethin along those lines.)
It's been running reliably for the users for awhile just decided to stop a week ago so I wanna get this turned around and sent back to them ASAP since they don't do more besides use the machine as an Internet surfer. I even put Ubuntu on it and taught them how to use it so upkeep was reduced to nothing.

The board definitely looks like a Delta unit though in Cap choice. I'm seeing NCC, Fujitsu, OST, Teapo, a cap too small for me to eyeball (also in an odd spot, but black shrink & flat top.)

The OST's and Teapo's are few though. It's mostly Fuji & NCC.
