Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps
Don't use that PSU at all until the caps are replaced, it may seem to work fine but that ripple is highly stressing your motherboard caps, and hard drive especially. Even one bad cap can cause crazy oscillation. Panasonic FC and Rubycon ZLH are good replacements. Ripple current and ESR are the most important factors, size isn't much of an issue if the caps fit, but it's preferable to not extend the caps off the board as this increases the ESR.
What is the full model number of the PSU? I know OCZ likes to use FSP, which sometimes use small 8mm caps. Are the failed caps CapXon?Leave a comment:

ocz 420 u12 swollen caps
Hi,
I just opened my PSU and found 4 caps swallon and one of them even with ”the juice” on top, but why i opened it cuz every time shouted of the computer n tried to start it, it comes on but not fully on u hear the fans ane led but no display no keyboard or mouse but if i repeate the shoutdown and power on it finaly comes on after like 2 to 5+-.
The weird thing is the comp work pretty fine.
My Q is i want to recap it but i dont know what cap should i put?

Thx very mush 4 ur help,

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

Hello!
I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.
The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.
I have studied the board and... -
Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

Good evening
I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?
But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
