Can't find the brand here...

Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
they look like a good brand because they passed quality control
not even worth replacing the caps because it looks like a rebadged L&C power supply -
Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
Those stickers are there to keep the tops from venting. It's an extra quality control measure.Comment

i have sen a similar logo with an e in the ring of satern thingComment

Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
that logo with the S looks like it has a C around it, so that would make them super caps or Super crap. You pick, i'd say Super Crap because I've never heard of that PSU companyComment

Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
Startech is big in the local PC shops around here (well, PC shop, there's only one left). Their website- www.startech.com
One that I have is just a rebranded (and not really even that) ATNG, and I'm assuming this one is too, but they removed mention of the ATNG brand...Ludicrous gibs!

It looks good - thick wires, good heatsinks.Comment

Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
what would be the recommended series to replace caps of those type?
would there be any benefit using low esr types?
commonly they are rated 200v in PSUs but in Greece we have mains voltage 220-230V and in UK 240v so therefore they are slightly under-rated. would it be better to use a cap rated for higher voltage?
If they were replaced with caps of higher capacitance, say 1500uf then would the rest of the circuit need to be upgraded also?Comment

Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
They're rated 200V but are connected in series - so it's 400V. That's why if there's only one cap, it's rated 400V.
I've never replaced these primary caps in a PSU.Comment

Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
I have seen a similar saturn logo but it was just a saturn with the normal ring around it. That was spotted in an L&C LC-B450E power supply on the two big main caps that have the normal X vent, some of the other smaller caps that have the Panasonic T vent, and the main 80MM fan of it. The fan was so weak there was only a tiny amount of air going out of the back. It was as weak as a normal 80MM fan that was only powered by 7.5V.
P.S. Both of those two big main caps had a QC sticker on the vent.My gaming PC:

You can do QC and still have a crappy product... as long as it's working when it leaves the plant.
willawake was pointing out that they were joking about the QC stickers keeping the caps from venting.Ludicrous gibs!

Re: what caps are these, and are they crap?
Oh, maybe the stickers are used to cover up the electrolytic crud if the caps fail.Originally posted by doodMy gaming PC:

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

Hello!
I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.
The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.
I have studied the board and... -
I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,... -
Good evening
I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?
But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
