That won't work - there's too much inductance between (and inside) the
giant can capacitor and the electronics.  The bypasses that matter for
logic transitions are the surface-mount chip ceramics that are on the
RAM stick, on the CPU carrier and next to (under) the northbridge.

Try under-clocking a bit, or using more conservative memory timings
(especially if you've set you motherboard to "aggressive" timings).
