Re: Intel D945GCLF Bloated Samxon GC due to overheating
Taicon is an Taiwanese associate/subsidiary of Nichicon, Japan. Their series are generally a subset (and similarly named) of Nichicon's. I haven't actually seen a failed Taicon cap yet, including the HD, though it's entirely possible that they fail in hot and high ripple-current locations like VRM outputs (where MCZs, KZGs, KZJs, etc. also die like flies). I have also used 16V-rated Taicon HD in SMPS recaps without a single failure in about 9 years - they seem to be similar in size and specs to NCC KZE, another series in which I haven't encountered a single failure.
