So this cap is missing on my motherboard that I want to use. The board is an Intel S5000PSL server board that is an engie sample. I only intend to use one socket as I only have one CPU.
Now I have a capacitor size larger and smaller then the og size. 1200 uf 12v. I have a 1000 uf 35v and a 2200 uf 35v. Would any of them work? Any other solutions are appreciated too

Buy the same caps, and replace them all.

If the cap was ripped off or damage then you can replace it. If not then what's the point?

Voltage is basically irrelevant except that you cannot go under the original voltage or the cap might blow up. Other than that the only significant thing about voltage is that higher voltage caps are usually fatter. On the reverse end of this higher capacity caps are usually taller than caps of the same voltage with smaller capacitance.
Capacity might be important for certain things but electrolytic caps are usually only used as smoothing caps so you can probably go over capacity without worry. Probably.

In general though, try to match the original as closely as possible. You can go higher for the voltage if you can't readily find one that is exactly right but try to keep the capacity under the original spec.

Why are you even wasting your time with this trash motherboard?

I like to solder cpus.

Try the 1000uF, caps have like ±20% deviation in capacitance
