list of crap caps?

[torpex505]

Is there a list of known cheap/crap caps? I'm looking to recap a few boards, but aside from the rubycons that look good, I don't know what other caps were quality to begin with. Here is a list of brands found on the 2 boards that I have inspected so far:

TEAPO
RUBYCON
NICHICON
G-LUXON
JACKCON
PETON
TAYEH

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
-Eric

Teapos are fine too, just don't expose them to extreme heat. If the cooling is good they meet their specs just fine.

I personally disagree. I see lots of failed cheapo teapos.
