Re: HP-D3057F3H recap
I wonder how long it was in service. I'm guessing the heatsinks are fairly thick in it and that its input capacitors are 680uF/200V Teapo rated at 85C. Funny how the Teapo that's bloated is almost always the one on the 5VSB rail, which leads me to be of the belief that it takes the most stress and heat, and for that matter, time.
My guess is that something like 90W-110W is the combined rating of the 3.3V/5V rails. And assuming that ADDA is a sleeve bearing, keep dust out of it, keep it lubricated, and keep it away from heat and it should still last a while (most sleeve bearing fans do that way). I do not think well of ADDA but at least their sleeve bearing fans (usually, in my experience) warn you when they're about to go (whether through slowing down or bearing noises).
