Hello VOGONS,

I know this won't be an easy matter to help with, but any help would be appreciated.

I recently bought a Pentium D 960 from Australia, and I bought it knowingly that it had a missing capacitor on it:

I'd love to replace said capacitor with another like it (the other cap that's still on the CPU is presumably the one I need), but since these guys have no easily-marked capacitance or voltage ratings on them, I'm at a loss as to which ones would work with this CPU. I do know, however, that the height of the capacitor in question is around 0.85mm (this was done with a caliper I have on hand).

Assuming I'm able to find a replacement, would putting 8 dots of solder paste and heating the cap up with a hot-air reflow station do the trick, or does someone here have a better suggestion? Thanks!
