That’s only a bulk storage cap, if you have put only the largest capacity cap out of the three there, it would have most likely been fine.
These big electrolytic caps aren’t precision components, tolerances of +50%/-30% are common and expected. The exact value of the cap isn’t really critical.
What you have there is asking for the cap breaking off and/or shorting something out, potentially causing a lot more problems.
nfsw??
Let me join
the computers with sketchy af repairs are always the most stable
Wait this works? Cam some one please explain?
Don’t worry, honestly any cap with a value within the right order of magnitude would have worked. Hell, it probably would have worked without the cap.
This looks like a city…
For the love of G-d dust it
With the lead height that big(distance of the capacitor body to the PCB), you might get unnecessary Ripple. But if it works, it works.
I put a jumper across a fan header and saw fire escaping the board. That part of the board didn’t work anymore but the computer was still stable.
Someone commented the board might have worked without the resistor…I’m noting sometimes fire won’t take the board out.
I put the jumper in by feel because I was lazy. Lucky I had 22 identical machines.

Oh god, are those ChongX brand? 🤮
IT’S NOT A TOOMAH
This would add some parasitic inductance, but if works, it’s good 🙂
If you have some problems with that, you always can solder a 1 nF cap between the legs as closest as possible to the board.
Lmao
Looks like an old desktop Motherboard with laptop RAM, what kinda Motherboard is this ? if I may ask.
lol I’ve done worse. I put leads on some PCB mounted caps and then glued them to the motherboard to get it to work
