    Re: Antec TPII-480 replacement caps ?

    Well, I substituted four Sanyo WG 3300uf 6.3v into it, and connected up my recalcitrant A8V Deluxe https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...958#post450958

    Started up without problems, and all voltages looked OK in BIOS display

    Tried various tasks for a day and a half - no issues, A8V started every time, voltages continued to look OK

    Another try with the A8V this morning - wouldn't start the power supply

    But power supply worked fine with another board

    Pronouncing this a successful fix

    Thanks everyone who contributed

    Don't confuse the picture with WG series, which is what I intend to use, in 3300uf 6.3v, as replacements

    That picture was supplied in response to a question by a different, Macau based, eBay vendor who are offering 4700uf 10v caps

    Not to mention that according to the WG datasheet, there is no 4700uF WG series part.

    yea, fake.

    sanyo are a lighter green and the gold print actually looks like gold - not bronze-paint.

    That sanyo looks fake. the colours on the sleeve look wrong. Real sanyos usually are greener than that

    Before they got so good at counterfeiting UCC, Sanyo was their staple... I'm pretty sure old stock Sanyo is now pretty much unobtainable and all you can get is Suncon branded, so anything that says Sanyo on it is most probably fake.

    eBay used to have about a 50/50 ratio of new old stock to counterfeit caps. These days it's something like 90/10.

    FWIW, before researching Badcaps and making my original post, I considered a 4700uf 10v offering from Macau and asked "brand & series of capacitor in size 10 x 30 will you supply"

    They replied Sanyo or OST, then sent me a picture of the Sanyo (attached)

    I suspect the only difference between their Sanyo and OST is the sleeve - can't see any point asking for more pictures of top & bottom

    eBay - egekecu/PCMCS

    And to preempt the inevitable, the final cost of those c_hegge referenced makes the difference between cap replacement and it meeting the garbage can

    We already covered that Per . c_hegge measured ripple and it was slightly improved with Ultra-Low ESR caps (Even lower than what he is planning on using)...

    I think those have too low ESR to work well for PSU use.
    Do you have a oscilloscope to check with after modding?

    i'd be suspicious of sanyo.
    they are very expensive and hard to find.

    if they seem cheap - as in the same price as pana/ruby or if they are on taobao/ebay etc they are fake.

    I haven't, and neither have I found any KZG or suspect HM that were re-usable.

    LOL - when was the last time you found any Fuhjyyu worth reusing ?

    I would never use HM / HN/ HZ in power supplies. I think they are too low esr for that use. The lowest esr capacitor series I use for psus is Panasonic FR.

    Ah, in that case good HM caps would be just fine on it... But I wonder what he means by "suspect" HM... Nothing is suspect about HM up until 2004, in the sense that they will certainly fail. After that, there's some debate as to when exactly they fixed the series.

    Still, would be interesting to see how long they last in a PSU as opposed to a motherboard VRM.

    I've used MBZ in an SL-350 before and it was fine. I think it may have been the drop in capacitance that the SP-400 wasn't happy with. Not that I would advise using KZG or suspect HMs on it, though. You might as well recap it with more Fuhjyyus.

    Rubycon ZLJ is also sold in 10mm:

    According to c_hegge's article on polymodding, those CWT Antec units do not work properly with Ultra-Low ESR capacitors. He writes:
    After the results of the first test, I had high hopes for this unit, since the performance was very similar to how it was originally. However, my hopes were short-lived, because my test PC wouldn’t even boot with the poly-modded SP-400 installed. This unit is clearly not designed to work properly with these capacitors. Let’s see if our next contender can do better.
    ...a bit odd considering the ripple measurements looked good. But you shouldn't use Nichicon HM for this reason, with a 0.012 ESR rating.
