Re: Recapping Antec SmartPower SP350 and SP400
If they are designed correctly they can be ok with good caps, but there are some that they put a little too close to some high heat parts that cause failure of even good caps. Some are very poorly designed too like the bestec atx-250-12e. Also with no protection circuitry on the 5vsb with a two transistor 5vsb circuit it can go high because of cap failure or something else and that can fry your chipset.
