So wow, this is a tight fit on these on this board, huh?

I am using 16v capacitors but they are still having to be bent around just to fit the other components.

Is there other options here? I mean, it's too late now because I already got them on there but I was just curious if there are smaller 470uf capacitor options out there in case I run into this issue again. I guess the past builds I have worked on maybe had one 470uf but this Sharkfin has 4 and boy....they eat up space quick.

ehh....never mind, checked out some of the build reports and it looks like it was tight for everyone. I also read in the build doc that they didn't have to be 470.

my bad
