The dielectric material in electrolytic capacitors is a liquid electrolyte. At high temperatures, these liquid particles become very active, causing internal pressure to build up within the capacitor. Since the boiling point of this type of capacitor isn't very high, there's a risk of it exploding. In contrast, solid capacitors use a polymer dielectric. The solid particles are less reactive at high temperatures compared to their liquid counterparts, and they have a much higher boiling point—up to 350°C. This makes explosions extremely unlikely. In theory, solid capacitors are almost explosion-proof.
Additionally, solid capacitors outperform traditional electrolytic capacitors in terms of equivalent series resistance (ESR). Testing shows that solid capacitors have very low ESR when operating at high frequencies, offering excellent conductivity and low electrical impedance. This results in less heat generation, especially between 100kHz and 10MHz. Conventional electrolytic capacitors are more sensitive to environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, which can affect their stability, particularly under extreme temperatures.
Even at temperatures ranging from -55°C to 105°C, the ESR of a solid capacitor can remain as low as 0.1 to 0.3 ohms. However, electrolytic capacitors experience greater changes in ESR with temperature fluctuations. For example, below 20°C, the capacitance of liquid capacitors may drop below the rated value. At -20°C, the capacitance can decrease by around 13%, and at -55°C, it may fall to just 37% of its original value. While this doesn't usually affect average users, it matters for those who push their systems to the limit using liquid nitrogen cooling. Solid capacitors maintain stable capacitance even at such extreme temperatures, dropping by less than 5%. This ensures better overclocking stability in such scenarios.
Despite these advantages, solid capacitors aren't always the best choice. Their low-frequency response isn't as good as that of electrolytic capacitors, which can lead to inferior sound quality in audio applications. Therefore, a motherboard with all-solid capacitors isn't necessarily the most optimal choice for every use case.
In terms of functionality, both types of capacitors serve the same purpose: filtering out electrical noise. As long as the capacitance meets a certain threshold and the components are of good quality, a motherboard can operate stably. Electrolytic capacitors can achieve this as well. So, the claim that "solid capacitors improve overclocking performance" is misleading.
While solid capacitors do have a longer lifespan—especially at lower operating temperatures—they don't necessarily make a motherboard more capable. At 105°C, a solid capacitor can last as long as an electrolytic one for 2000 hours. When the temperature drops, the lifespan increases further. For instance, if the operating temperature is 70°C or lower, the life of a solid capacitor could reach up to 23 years—about six times longer than that of an electrolytic capacitor. However, how many people actually use a motherboard for 23 years? Even if the capacitor lasts that long, other components might not.
Many motherboards marketed for overclocking use solid capacitors, but this doesn't mean they're inherently better. Overclocking success depends on multiple factors, including circuit design, BIOS optimization, CPU quality, and cooling solutions. Replacing electrolytic capacitors with solid ones won't automatically boost overclocking performance. That claim is simply incorrect.
If anything, the real benefit of solid capacitors in overclocking is their higher voltage and temperature tolerance, which contributes to system stability after overclocking. But this doesn't mean they are the key to successful overclocking.
