Teapo

Re: Teapo

In my old SmartPower Antecs, the Koshins and Teapos failed before the Fuhjyyus,

I take that as an indication that Teapo = junk.

I've seen that before on rare occasions (where the teapos get outlasted by fuhjyyu).

Maybe because the quality of the Fuhjyyus was so bad that all the other capacitors had to stem all the ripple & noise and so were out of spec which caused them to fail?

Re: Teapo

Get this:

I recently replaced bad Koshins and Teapos in some Antec power supplies that have been used daily for 4-5 years, so I measured the Fuhjyyus in there, and their ESRs were only about 0.03 ohm. Does that mean I have fake Fuhjyyus?

Re: Teapo

It must have been fake Fuhjyyu capacitors .

Re: Teapo

I voted average. Because they aren't up par with the Japanese caps. My 7 year old Athlon 64 x2 4000+ PC has a Hipro PSU which the caps are STILL good!

Well I also saw PSU's with bad Teapo's (Most of them were dusty and the fan was failing). They are OK in well cooled PSU's, like my 7 y.o. computer.

Re: Teapo

I'd still take Teapo over the other cheap brands, if stores would even sell "brand name" caps in the first place. Jaycar Australia mainly sells unknown brands like S.I., Suntan and Topcon (there was at least one box with Hitano caps as well), at least from my local store.

Re: Teapo

I would rate Teapo's at the higher end of the bad cap brands. They're still a bad cap brand, but just the fact that people here are arguing over them should give you an idea that they're better then Capaxon, or Rulycon, or Jamicon.

If there was a border line for good caps and bad caps, I would put Teapo just slightly south of that border. You can use them for probably a couple years in a high heat setting, whereas I wouldn't trust a Capaxon or Jamicon to make it 6 months.

Re: Teapo

Just how bad do you guys reckon they are? Nowadays, I find just as much gear with failed Teapo as I do with Fuhjyyu, and I absolutely hate them. If I find them in my own gear, they get replaced pre-emptively as soon as the warranty is up.

EDIT: I probably should add that Teapo and Fuhjyu caps are both about as common as each other around here

The very fact that Teapos are in a given device is enough for me. Like whoever spec'd them "boasts" about being cheap.

Sort of like "Evercon." Ever Con? Always. Though those are worse than Teapo...


I replace them immediately. In the rare instance something new has them, they get replaced. Not like that happens much, since I buy, repair and use, mostly older equipment.

CapXon is the new Fuh-juju, while Teapos will at least let the device operate long enough till the good caps come in.
