    Advice regarding Antec Truepower 430 recap

    I'm in the process of recapping my first and also last Antec PSU, a Truepower 430. The replacements, Samxon RS, for the six Fuhjyyu secondaries are already ordered. The unit is however "blessed" with two Fuhjyyu LH 200V 470uF primaries as well. Do they stay, or do they go?
    If they go, I can source locally as replacement for them Rubycon MXC. They have the correct physical dimensions to fit, and are rated for 1450 mA ripple. The Fuhjyyu's rating, according to their spec sheet is 1620 mA, but as they have a smaller can size than standard, 25x30mm, that figure could be overrated. Is the choice acceptable?
    The two 5VSB caps close to the exhaust fan are TEAPO's. I was thinking of leaving them for now.
    Any input is welcome.

    replace every single Fuhjhhyuhuh.. cap. even the primary ones.
    and don't forget about the tiny ones in between the heatsinks.

    fuhjyyu is SO crappy that even the primaries fail/bulge, given enough time..

      I confirm that.

      I would be worried about the Teapo caps. Sure, they are better than fuhjyyu, yet these antecs get really hot cause they are made to be silent... I always do a fan mod so that the fan moves some air just to be safe

        OK, all Fuhjyyu's go, including the primaries. Any opinions as to the choice of Rubycon MXC to replace them?
        The TEAPO's are gone as well.
