I've got a 400W Corsair that works fine. But upon blowing out bunnies I see one bad cap, bulged a bit, and I was thinking if I replace it I may save other caps and the unit itself.
It's had a lot of use, maybe 6 years and been 'on the shelf' for 1.5 years now. All measurements are w/in spec.
Think it's worth replacing the one cap or just use it again until it fails? As I understand it modern mobos have built in protection from bad PSU's.
Read thru a third of 500 hits on a search and nothing quite like my situation so far. What do you think?
Thanks,
Mac
