Antec SP-450P caps

Re: Antec SP-450P caps

It's a great PSU once it's working... I've been using mine for a while already and it's been rock solid... My next PSU will probably be the Antec Truepower 550 (The newer "Green" revision, not the old design) which is based on a Seasonic S12-II plus the DC-DC converter of the later platinum designs, so it's a little better than an S12-II. All UCC caps including the polymers (Unlike Seasonic PSUs today which use Enesol polymer caps), and I only paid $20 when I bought it this summer.

tenortim - what are you going to use for the 10mm caps?

Re: Antec SP-450P caps

When I first flipped on the power switch to the supply my lights flickered for a second because of the charging of the dual 1200 uf line filters .

Sounds just like my FSP500-60GLN(80) PSU.

Hi mockingbird,
I ordered all FM-series Panasonic caps from Digi-key. The two Teapos were 1000uF 10V, so I replaced them with P12354-ND caps. Those can take a decent amount of ripple current (1.56A) and fit nicely in place. If you wanted something even better-speced, the FR-series looks good.

What about the 10mm 16V 3300uF and the two Teapo SC 6.3V 4700uF caps?

For the 3300uF, I ordered the P12373-ND which fit nicely in the space. I don't
recall the 4700uF caps. If they're there in the SP-450, they weren't Teapo caps in the one I have. I'll pop the lid and check again later.

Re: Antec SP-450P caps

You managed to squeeze a 12.5mm cap in then... Oh yea, those two 4700uF caps are definitely there... They can be replaced with 3300uF caps, or if you can fit 12.5mm 4700uF caps, that's even better, but I remember it being a very tight fit there, and that was with 10mm caps.
