Re: What Do You Think Are The Worst Capacitors ?

Fuhjyyu may win in the poll in question but I think it can be universally concurred here that no brand is worse than GSC/Sacon/Evercon. YEC might tie with them, but those weren't as common, like with Rulycon.

YEC is worse, IMHO. They had often failed in storage as well as new equipment that hadn't been powered up, like IBM NetVistas and so on. It's almost as if somebody was determined to ensure that the sale of the IBM PC Company to Legend/Lenovo should take place, and at the lowest possible price, and therefore chose YEC as the capacitor brand on NetVistas.

CapXon and Teapo aren't that bad, in my experience. They often do fine in PSU secondaries for years, suggesting that fan cooling is the key to ensuring their durability.
