hi! i just received a new P4 S478 mobo. it has 2 Rubycon MBZ series on the VRM input, one whole row of 6 Samxon GE 2200uF 6.3V on the VRM output. the rest of the board is populated wif Samxon GF 470uF 16V at the DIMM slots, AGP slot and the ATX connectors. the smaller ones w/o vents are of United, 100uF 25V. does the Samxon GE caps good or not since they are nt discussed in tis forum?

Re: samxon GE caps
I never seen any GE caps on hardwares in market. I knew Samxon have GE series, but i am not interest to source it. The reason is the pricing is not much different with GD, GC and GA. Why need GE?
Besides, The color of GE series are silver, not different with GD, GC and GA. By this reason, i guess the formula of eletrolytic should be not same as GD, GC and GA(golden).
May be i will get some samples of GE series for reference, because i never seen the caps with silver printing letters, quite interest
Do you have any photos of Samxon GE? If yes, please post here, thanks.Last edited by Big Pope; 11-09-2007, 11:09 AM. -

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?...
