Re: "capacitor modding" - literally
PCBONEZ, I'm surprised you didn't comment on this.. Is this the idiocy that we see it as, or is there something to this nutcase's "mods"?Comment

Re: "capacitor modding" - literally
It's BS. Just proof that some people have WAY too much time on their hands. Even if it did make any kind of difference, a few nice words on a webpage does NOT = scientific proof. Where are all the measurements?
We all know that audio is a very subjective experience, because the perceived sound depends not only on our playback equipment and psychology, but also on the physical construction of each one's ears and the activities the individual did before the listening session. To a large degree it also depends on what he's been smoking on...

Re: "capacitor modding" - literally
My question is not "does it make a difference"... Shouldn't the capacitor FAIL outright because there is no more aluminum oxide for the electrolytic reaction?Comment

Re: "capacitor modding" - literally
That's got to be the most asinine thing I've seen in ages.
Current doesn't even go through the can or sleeve.........
Couldn't affect the sound if it wanted to...
Though, when you heat the fuck out of it internally by removing it's heat-sink [the can] and applying insulation [wood and rice paper] it might sound better for a SHORT time because it's easier for trons to travel through materials at higher temps.

Perhaps he should use wooden screws to mount the PCBs.
It's as relevant to the to the signal as the cap's can is.

Re: "capacitor modding" - literally
I remember reading a site that was one of those wacked-out audiophool sites that I new was complete and utter BS, but I was amazed at how, when I read the articles, I got sucked in and wanted to keep reading even though I knew in the end it was just plain garbage. Anyway, the most bizarre one I've ever come across was one where they said they charge you some ridiculous price to call them, then they will have you put your phone in front of your speaker-system and they will send a tone or series of tones which will reprogram your stereo or tweak it so that it sounds better... Need I say more?

Re: "capacitor modding" - literally
You people can't tell the difference because you're not using superior cables made with conductive dielectric sheathing.
Really, I saw some $$$ cable advertised with that feature. Magician/debunker James Randi offered $1M to anybody who could prove that their expensive cables were superior to zip cord. StereoScam magazine said he was "swift boating" the cable industry.Comment

Title:
Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
Description:
During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.
Procedure performed:
- Removed backplate
- Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
- Reapplied thermal compound
- Reassembled card
Observed behavior after reassembly:
- GPU powers on and operates normally under... -
Hi
While messing around with my MacBook Pro, I stupidly pinged off a very small surface mounted component that I’m now trying to identify.
resistance tests show a rising resistance value, indicating a capacitor.
The laptop boots up and runs, however I'm choosing not to use it until I get it fixed.
i can’t see any markings on the capacitor at 10x magnification using a professional jewler's loop.
It seems like there's some damage to the capacitor - one side doesn't have "shiny bits" - can you tell I don't do this for a living!... -
Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.
I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.
I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
(yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)
I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never... -
I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
It has at least one problem.
The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.
Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
All are CapXon... -
I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...
