Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Seriously??
This makes no sense. Why would they be, anyways?
Yes.
Keyword here: very old Delta/Newton PSUs - the ones that typically came with Pentium 4 and Pentium D machines. Later ones... I'm not sure if Delta changed something or Ltec became more crap, but these latter PSUs have a ton more problems with CapXon and Ltec caps, despite the PSUs being built very similar to the old ones and powering an even less power-hungry PCs (typically Core 2 Duo and Athlon II X2's.)
With that said, Ltec is now on my replace-on-sight list. I trust even old Fuhjyyu caps more than that! (Except Fuhjyyu in a CWT - not sure why that combo never worked out
). And CapXon...... eh, let's not talk about them. ![Biggrin](https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Indeed.
That said, you can still use GP caps even on modern motherboards if the application is with a linear regulator.
