I need to replace a damaged capacitor on my old athlon mobo, it got a leg broken off in a case that had mobo tray that slid the thing right into the HDD cage.
Do I need to only have same rated capacity or also same voltage rating?
 
I know its best, however is it required?
all electronic shops I regularly order from dont have such low voltage capacitors in stock, and I have a 1000uf 25v one sitting here on my desk...
 
thanks, I went ahead and switched em, I just needa get the solder to get off the backpanel ground area and stay in its little printed circle and its all ready to be tested...
