    Re: Fixed FX 5200

    Nich VR are 85*C General purpose caps, and are totally unsuitable for use on a GPU.
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      Really? The one on the back there is a nichicon VR and it came stock on the card so I figured it would be alright to use them. Are they unsuitable because of ESR or because they are rated at 85C?

        Both. If the manufacturer used an 85*C cap, they should be shot.

          Hmmm, okay. Yeah that 100uF 10V cap in the back that came on the card is an 85C VR

            It's probably in a non-critical area, which is why they got away with it, but the skywells are in the VRM, where GP caps are not suitable.

                        Then, again its a passively cooled card which was probably meant for a low-performance system. It's not unrealistic to put an 85 in there, but just one hot summer and your nephew coming over to try and play a 3D game the system can't really handle, and... Well you know.

                            They should be shot for using 'lytics on a video card in the first place. At least ASUS has a clue (yay for FPCAP!).

                                  by DrewPhillips
                                  Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

                                  The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

                                  by nick3092
                                  I recently acquired a set of Bose Roomate speakers from the mid to late 80's. Basically the right speaker cabinet is completely passive, and the left one has the power transformer and amplifier circuit in it. Out of curiosity, I opened it up to see what the circuit looked like. Looks like they used all Nichicon VX (2x 4700uF/16v for smoothing off the bridge rectifier), a couple random Nichicon SE series sprinkled on the board, and what really caught my eye - 2 yellow sleeved Nichicon caps (both 1uF/50v with no real series marking. Below are pictures of the caps. The only thing not shown in these...
