i have a shipment of capacitors arriving friday. i'm wanting to try an experiment where i fill all the cap spots(instead of just the 3 spots) in front of the processors with 3300uf caps to see if the extra power being available to the gpu/cpu help the xbox's performance. my question is, is there any chance that this will damage the xbox? also, has anyone ever tried this before?
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: Wanting To Try Something With Extra Capacitors for my original xbox
Didn't you post this on reddit as well? It's pointless. More capacitors != faster system.
What capacitors did you buy?
Also, those capacitors aren't "fun" to replace without a de-solder pump. You will be happy when you have finished with the first 3.
BTW, I used 3900uf caps (x3) and no visual difference whatsoever at nearly 12000uf total.Last edited by jayjr1105; 10-08-2020, 12:50 PM.--------------------------------------------------------------

Originally posted by bulkchart32 View Postthis is not about changing them, this is about wanting to add more so that it will get more power to the chips. i'd have 5 caps instead of just 3 to deliver power to the chips. that's be like having 5 wires delivering power instead of 3.
the chip draws the power it needs and if there isnt enough it will glitch and crash.
which does not happen because the circuit was designed to support that cpu.

Re: Wanting To Try Something With Extra Capacitors for my original xbox
Increasing the capacitance will not improve anything. OTOH, you are messing with a carefully designed network that probably has capacitors of multiple types, values, impedance characteristics, and locations. You could probably get away with some amount of changes, but you will get no benefit and will risk screwing up the VRM's loop stability and/or the network's transient load response.Last edited by PeteS in CA; 10-09-2020, 03:25 PM.PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.
