    Can't tell if this beast cap is bulging or not

    It kinda looks like it...but I may just be seeing things it's 560uF 450V. Getting 400VDC through it. This cap is a monster 70mmx40mm

        I once bought a brand new primary Illinois Capacitor cap from Newark that came bulged (Wasn't leaking electrolyte, but the top was domed and the sleeving was on funny)... I emailed them and they demanded proof. I sent them photos and they told me that it was normal... I still buy their caps (Especially KXM series which is equivalent to KZE/FM and often on sale), but I really shouldn't.

          Interesting. Yeah having issues with the PSU. It could also be the motherboard though. If it's getting 400V then there should be nothing wrong with it?

            Seems ok if psu has pfc 400vdc would seem about right.
