Re: EnerMax Galaxy 1000Watt DxX

So if no bad caps then toss it? There are a bunch of Caps under the wire harness, I gonna examine them carefully. I think this has been acting up for quit sometime, like since the last time I RMA'D it.

Thank you for your help Tom66!

If you're about to toss it - give me a PM and I'll buy it off you. Would be a shame to see a nice PSU like that to go to waste.

It looks like this PSU uses a DC-DC design to drop the 12V down to 5V and 3.3V.

It would therefore seem that the 5V DC-DC converter is faulty. Potentially bad caps could be the issue, but I see mostly Rubycons which are very high quality capacitors.

Hello all!
I use this one on my stuff so if its not feasible to use it again please do say so!!! EnerMax had warranted it like three times already. I did test the rails before I disassembled it only rail to far out of wake was the red wire 5v rail. It was reading 4.1v, this was only a fan and hard drive on it. If need be I can go back and re test again.........
