I replaced some buldging caps in my old cheapie MOBO
with nichicon equivalents and the board still runs great.


That said, there was a genuine issue a few years back where one
(or more ??)
of the major electrolytic manufacturers had a batch of 'fake'
electrolyte
swung across them, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of
substandard
caps appearing on the market, and finding their way onto
computer
motherboards, and failing after a relatively short period of
time.
Obviously, the mo-bo manufacturers thought that they were
buying full spec
caps, and the cap manufacturers thought that's what they were
selling, so
not a penny-pinching situation in that case.
