Sparkle ATX400-PN

The one here:

I opened mine up a few minutes ago and examined the caps. All Teapo.

Also, the fan is "Yate Loon D12BH-12 DC 12V 0.30A". I'm guessing that's a high speed (2000RPM?) ball-bearing fan.

I would have taken pictures, but I think my sister took it... so next time I tear down my rig I'll snap pics.

Re: Sparkle ATX400-PN

i have several fortron units with Teapo SEK (brown) and Jamicon TM (green/teal) on secondary side, and teapo LXK on primary side. they are still doing fine. given it's been 2 years or more, measuring the esr of them would be very interesting.

Re: Sparkle ATX400-PN

My ChannelWell has all Teapos and it's been fine for over a year (It's got 15a on the 12v rail, and it powers a Sempron 2800+ at 1.8v and a Radeon x1600, among the rest), left on 24/7.

I've never seen a Fortron go either; in fact the Power Man 235w (FSP built) from my P2/266 still goes well, as does the 200w Fortron I have from a Micron ClientPro P2/350. The former has mostly Chemicons, the latter has Rubies as input and the output is mixed, I forget what-all's there.

Re: Sparkle ATX400-PN

My FSP 530W is all Teapo - 2 years and counting of 24/7 use. No cap problems, but I did have to do the fan bearings on that oddball 20mm thick Yate Loon exhaust fan.
