Capacitor Broke Off Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7

I took this motherboard off from a friend and I found out one of the capacitors broke off =(

It looks like the capacitor was dented but it does not looked punctured or anything. Could I still use this one or would it be a smarter option to order a new one?

If I do need to order a new one, by chance could anyone point me in the right direction to order a new one?

Maybe this?

I'm sure your friend was aware of the problem on the board.

You could try ordering from cortexodus link and hope that you can plug that sucker back in the board.

If it still works fine, dont worry about it.

Capacitors either smooth voltages, pass signals (not DC) or are part of a timing circuit.
If its not unstable, then if there is a reduction in voltage smoothing, its not impacting you.
If it still works and the connectors local to it all work ok, then you've not lost any signals.

From the size of the cap, it looks like it performs voltage smoothing.

Easy one two three. Fry's Electronics has these types of components, you could do a search and figure a good compnent seller near you. Electrolytic Capacitors also help prevent voltage surge or spikes on the DC voltage, yes they filter out noise as well like the 60Hz. This one looks like it is on a voltage line which is important to preserve your motherboard from damage or other component damage on other hardware like hard drives, rom drives, audio. List goes on....

You'll also need a way to de-solder the component to put the new one in. Obvious!

Last thing the 270uF is important so get the same cap value, the 16V is max DC voltage it can handle and the rule of thumb is twice the DC volts it is filtering. So a 18v, 20v, 25v (common) or 30v works. You can go higher but not lower. Package size to fit properly is good to know.
