I have a motherboard with 3 VRMs with total of 20 nichicons 1500uF/6.3V, some of which are bulged. I would like to replace all of those nichicons with rubies 3300uF/6.3V (I ony got these in stock, currently). Will this work or is it a bad idea?

Different capacitors respond to different noise frequencies differently. You might actually end up, making it more noisy by increasing the capacitor size, also, as said above, power up inrush will be larger. Which may or may not be a problem.

Intel starting made motherboards with Sanyo Oscon capacitors during the Pentium Pro era.
What are they not like an ageless classic?
