Capacitor Replacement

I've a couple of capacitors going bad on a motherboard. The rating of the ones on the board is 3300ľF @ 6.3v. I cant seem to find
any matching at the local electronic stores but I have found some 3300ľF @ 10.0v. Will these work the same or do i have to use the
6.3? Thanks.
 
They will work!
sometimes higher voltage one used a lower voltage might have a bit lower
capacity but the tolerance usually isn't that close..
physical fit is sometimes a probelm because higher voltage units are usually
bigger!

Make sure they are 105°C capacitors, or they won't last very long.
