Power Supply cap suggestions?

Re: Power Supply cap suggestions?

I would use these as replacements paying attention to the voltage.
[Because their ESR is right for a typical PSU and they are 10mm.]

The up to 3300uF won't hurt anything there and might even be a slight benefit.

Maybe he meant RLP series

It seems like RSP, but I pulled one out, attached is a pic front/back.

Does not have to be hooked to anything to see secondary voltages if you jumper it "ON".

Ah, so just the jumper trick, green wire to ground... Thanks.

Probably a OEM "special run" for Cooler Master. Not in their advertised product line.

I think PCBONEZ meant:

for the 10v ones.

Can you fit 30mm height?

Toss us some pics if you would, please. Buncha voyeurs here

Pardon my VRM comment.
Was late and I forgot this was a PSU.

This PSU does have two VRM daughterboards that have poly caps already, so you're right anyway. But the OST are on the four 12v rails.

Thanks for your recommendation. You're extremely helpful here.

Does the stuff about 85C apply even to the two big ones? This PSU does have NCC for the primary 270uf/330uf, but they are 85C. Should I replace them as long as I have it all apart? What about the various small ones around 47uf. They are 105C but they are also OST?

This was a pricey PSU , around 180US. I found a review which says that the oem is AcBel Polytech, but why would cooler master allow OST if they are so bad in their top-end product?

Re: Power Supply cap suggestions?

AcBel uses OST in many of their supplies. Then again, I have AcBel's with not an OST in sight. LOL!

NCC primaries are fine at 85°C. They're working, but not stressed, as the secondary filter caps are. Reliable brand/company for the most part.
