When moving my Z390 Dark motherboard into a new case I noticed that a capacitor near the 24-pin ATX power connector was missing/broken.  I contacted EVGA about the issue however they said they were unable to do the repair or accept a RMA so I am forced to fix it myself.  Does anyone know where I can find a replacement capacitor?  I've attached an image for reference.

    You can get them all over the place. Digikey and Mouser are popular online component stores.

    560 microfarad (uF or µF)
    6.3 volt (V)
    through-hole or "radial" mounting
    0.098" (2.5 mm) lead spacing

    Here are some:
    Capacitors | Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors | DigiKey
     
    It's not a very critical component.  The equivalent series resistance, equivalent series inductance, and tolerance aren't that important.  Just pick one.

    And on top of that - a higher maximum voltage is allowed, lower not (well, depending on the circuit but it's never a good idea to do so).

    Thanks for the information, you guys are far more helpful than EVGA customer service. They wouldn't even give me part information. Ordered a couple of Nichicon FPCAPs from the link provided and a cheap soldering kit from Amazon. Hope I don't screw anything up soldering the new cap on.

    In case you weren't aware, polarity matters. Make sure you solder it on in the correct orientation.
