One simple question: to be compared with Rubycon, Panasonic etc., is Jamicon a good brand? In terms of reliability and stress mainly, not the lifespan. Feel free to add some hints.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
Compared to rubycon, panasonic, no. Compared to Fujiyuu, Sacon/GSC/etc..., they are not that bad. I've never seen them used in motherboards, have seen them used in a lot of power supplies especially bestec. They seem to be about like teapo, maybe a bit worse. Do good in power supplies, but expect failures in a power supply that is 2-3 years old or so.
If good caps are available to you, don't bother with them.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
hell no. jamicon sucks. between teapo and ost in my opinion. DO NOT RECAP WITH JAMICON! thats why god made rubycon, panasonic, sanyo, nichicon (2006 and later), chimicon, and samxon.sigpic

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
Thanks guys, we may consider this thread closed. My experiences so far are with sanyo and I think samxon ones, sanyo perfrom much better over samxon on the VP6, need to check all of them and share my findings with you.Mobo: MSI K8N Master2-FAR CPU: 2x Opteron 265 OC'd @ 2,25GHz RAM: 2x2GB Crucial DDR400 CL3 ECC/Buff.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
both samxon and sanyo are fine, both work equally well if specs are identical.sigpic

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
Yes I suppose there is not a huge difference within all these brands, but I guess there might be a slight one that would really be of help to my stability mini-issues. Of course it may be something else..again, need more time to do the research...as for the availability of other brands of caps here in Slovakia, it quite suxx, so I guess Ebay is my friend...Mobo: MSI K8N Master2-FAR CPU: 2x Opteron 265 OC'd @ 2,25GHz RAM: 2x2GB Crucial DDR400 CL3 ECC/Buff.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
MBZ are good series, ultra low ESR for motherboards, a little too low ESR for things like power supplies, but I don't know about telling fakes from non-fakes. Ebay is full of fakes.
What country are you from? I believe mouser has a european branch. Topcat (owner of this site) will also ship internationally. A little more costly though.Last edited by 370forlife; 12-23-2009, 11:44 AM.Comment

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
Slovakia. Yes, it might be a fake, but it is worth trying I guess...Of course I am awaiting any offers for these specific ones if it is possible, really need that 3300uF capacitance, VP6 really likes it. Of course ultra low ESR is very welcome.Mobo: MSI K8N Master2-FAR CPU: 2x Opteron 265 OC'd @ 2,25GHz RAM: 2x2GB Crucial DDR400 CL3 ECC/Buff.

Ratdude is right about G-LUXON. They are one of the worst brands of capacitor in the world.

Re: Is Jamicon a good brand?
G-luxon is getting to be a rare brand for me to see. Last I saw them was in a cheap surround sound system. Almost all bulged and the system refused to start up.Comment

Feed back wanted and website links are welcome ( I would refer a new one )
I have a HP elite 8200/8300 computer that has a separate table top switching power supply ( that I planning on converting into a battery powered computer instead and I would refer a monitor that has an external switching power supply to power it )
I plan on making a battery powered battery testing machine on a computer rack system

Good day everybody
I hope I'm posting in the right section - I am new to this awesome forum.
I have received an ACER Ferrari F-20" LCD Monitor to repair.
It produces interference lines on the image displayed and slowly rotates across the whole screen, with respect to the center of the screen. One rotation takes about 4 minutes and the cycle repeats over and over.
For some reason the On Screen Display Menu is not affected when switched on with the Menu button.
I opened the external 18V power supply and see no bulged capacitors... -
Hello,
has anyone use these Brands of solder balls? The brand BEST writes on the label of the jar the specs of the solder balls instead of the Mechanic brand. I beleive that BEST brand must be more professional (in labeling at least) but I have never try one of them so I would like your opinion. By the way I hardly can I find the Mechanic brand in aliexpress (the only where I found was lead free solder balls) and on ebay these that I found are approximately15USD per jar. If you know any other trusted brand of solder balls please tell me.06-22-2024, 11:06 AM
