    Antec Truepower 2.0 550W

    Hi all, I have an Antec Truepower 2.0 550W PSU which has given sterling service for 4 years but now need's the fuhjyyu (not sure I've pronounced that right ) caps replacing. This is a UK unit and seem's a bit different to some of the pictures I've seen on this forum. But my problem being R117 has got a bit hot and I'd like to replace it. But the colour bands have burnt off (see picture). I don't suppose anyone has the lid off of one of these at the moment and could let me know what value (colour) it is?

    I left it unchanged.

      Spookie..... Thanks for that, if it'll work like that I'll leave it too. Or 2nd thoughts..... As it works I can measure the value an replace it. Ah-ha I love it when a plan comes together.

        It measures 1.8K ohms.

          I made sure after recapping it that it would stop overheating like that by modding the fan controller.

            Can I replace a 22uf 16V 105 cap with a 22uf 25v or 50V one? Can't seem to find a 16V.....

              Yes, no problem.

                    That's a minimum load resistor. They do get really hot (which makes one wonder why they decided to wrap it in heatshrink, making it even hotter). 1.8Kohm is a bit high, did you measure it out-of-circuit? If you're measuring in-circuit it might be open and you're measuring the resistance of something else. Either way it shouldn't be a problem.

                      No, I unsoldered it from the board then measured it. I was thinking maybe to go for a 5W ceramic replacement. At least it should handle the heat a bit better.
