Decided to give full new caps treatment for my Asus p3B-F v1.04 MB. Hopefully it will help reduce digital noise I'm getting with m sound cards. Also it's good for overall health as well.
I can clearly see that some of the caps are already replaced on my MB I got off the ebay 4 years ago .

In order to be 100% sure I'd like to have confirmation of original list of capacitors specs. Initial googling didn't help me much. Are there any resources/sites where I can search for that? Or have any of you done it so you have part list laying around somewhere.

I don't have a list, but I can probably look at mine if you have any questions about a specific capacitor. I have one on my test bench right now and, while I plan on swapping it out this weekend, I can keep it nearby and answer any questions.

Check out Caps Wiki, it actually has a page for your mainboard already 😀
https://caps.wiki/wiki/Asus_P3B-F

Though it doesn't appear to cover your 1.04 version, perhaps the 1.03 caps list could be helpful.

Thanks guys for links. I made my Farnell order. Managed to match all main parameters only challenge was ripple current but it's secondary lower priority parameter.

Also https://caps.wiki/wiki/Asus_P3B-F Replacement Parts section is wrong for 1500 µF caps. 10ZLH1500MEFC8X20 links to caps with 3.5mm leads spacing while in reality it should be ~5mm.

So did you recapped the motherboard? Can you share here the complete parts list that you bought?
