One simple question: to be compared with Rubycon, Panasonic etc., is Jamicon a good brand? In terms of reliability and stress mainly, not the lifespan. Feel free to add some hints.
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
Compared to rubycon, panasonic, no. Compared to Fujiyuu, Sacon/GSC/etc..., they are not that bad. I've never seen them used in motherboards, have seen them used in a lot of power supplies especially bestec. They seem to be about like teapo, maybe a bit worse. Do good in power supplies, but expect failures in a power supply that is 2-3 years old or so.
If good caps are available to you, don't bother with them.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
Thanks guys, we may consider this thread closed. My experiences so far are with sanyo and I think samxon ones, sanyo perfrom much better over samxon on the VP6, need to check all of them and share my findings with you.Mobo: MSI K8N Master2-FAR CPU: 2x Opteron 265 OC'd @ 2,25GHz RAM: 2x2GB Crucial DDR400 CL3 ECC/Buff.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
Yes I suppose there is not a huge difference within all these brands, but I guess there might be a slight one that would really be of help to my stability mini-issues. Of course it may be something else..again, need more time to do the research...as for the availability of other brands of caps here in Slovakia, it quite suxx, so I guess Ebay is my friend...Mobo: MSI K8N Master2-FAR CPU: 2x Opteron 265 OC'd @ 2,25GHz RAM: 2x2GB Crucial DDR400 CL3 ECC/Buff.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
MBZ are good series, ultra low ESR for motherboards, a little too low ESR for things like power supplies, but I don't know about telling fakes from non-fakes. Ebay is full of fakes.
What country are you from? I believe mouser has a european branch. Topcat (owner of this site) will also ship internationally. A little more costly though.Last edited by 370forlife; 12-23-2009, 11:44 AM.

Slovakia. Yes, it might be a fake, but it is worth trying I guess...Of course I am awaiting any offers for these specific ones if it is possible, really need that 3300uF capacitance, VP6 really likes it. Of course ultra low ESR is very welcome.Mobo: MSI K8N Master2-FAR CPU: 2x Opteron 265 OC'd @ 2,25GHz RAM: 2x2GB Crucial DDR400 CL3 ECC/Buff.
