Sure. However, they're very difficult to identify without back
tracking the part number or chopping one in half and looking for the
black goo inside. The clue is that they tend to be short and not very
tall, while conventional electrolytics are much taller:


Both Asus and Gigabyte make motherboards that they claim use all
solid polymer capacitors. I doubt that they would lie about
something like that.

They were all gourmands!
