Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

I just got the 220uf/25v ncc/ky heres the pic.
What do u think FAKE OR NOT?

[predator0357]

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

Only one piece of each?

NO, like 5 each

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

panasonic? M is for matsushita electric industrial, former name of panasonic corporation.

What's the complete list you need with quantity of each cap type?

16v 470uf
10v 1000uf
16v 2200uf
16v 3300uf
6.3v 4700uf
10v 2200uf
50v 47uf
50v 4.7uf
50v 0.47uf
50v 1uf

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

PCMCS have 0.47\50v panasonic [M] its good enogh?
or just put GP caps from my class?

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

I have all of those caps (or equivalents) but 0,47 uF and 220 (no stock ATM). I think even some old used KZE 4700 uF/6,3 V but if you ask me this is way too high current/low ESR for only 420W PSU, this was MB grade capacitor in the times of this PSU.

Samxon RS 3300 uF/16 V in D10x30 offers practically the same as NCC SXE in D12,5x40 mm.

Last but not least, I have way better prices over the c_hegges eBay list. Check.

predator0357: higher voltage is OK if it also fits physically.

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

Tnx 4 the help
But what with the 220uf/16v can i put 25v?

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

You are covered for most of those with the list I posted. You can use the 47uF 50V caps to replace both the 35V and 16V parts. The 0.47uF is a bit harder. The only 105*C cap available from PCMCS is an audio cap - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-ELNA-Au...item43ca6107a4. It would probably do fine as the original is probably only a general purpose cap anyway. You could probably also use a ceramic cap. I've done that to Antec Smartpower PSUs lots of times when replacing a small 0.1uF electrolytics.

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

Those would do fine. Some like the SXEs might be somewhat larger physically than the originals, and be a bit of a tight squeeze to get in (although you could probably get around that by mounting them a few mm off the PCB), but their electrical specifications should be OK.

I'd recommend replacing as many of the really small capacitors as you can too.

Here are some options for some of the more common sizes (although I'm not sure how many of these apply to your power supply)

1uF - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15-NCC-LX...item43c00a435f
4.7uF - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15-Panaso...item460a1a1518
10uF - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-NCC-KY...item461e62f143
22uF - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12-Nichic...item46046b0183
47uF - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/8-Rubycon...item43c09e4709
100uF - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12-Rubyco...item4613a3b283

i have in the PSU:
470uf\16v
220uf\16v and i have 220uf\25v ky
47uf\35v
47uf\16v
4.7uf\50v
1uf\50v
0.47uf\50v

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

Hello every body,
After close combat with the PSU i got all the values and the main caps that i picked to replace are:
NCC KZE 6.3V 4700UF
NCC KZE 10V 2200UF
Nippon ChemiCon NCC LXJ Series 16V 2200UF
Nippon ChemiCon NCC SXE Series 16V 3300UF
Nichicon PW 10V 1000UF
Nichicon PM 16V 470UF

So what do u thinks about the list? The brand\series are ok?

ipa = isopropyl alcahol

[predator0357]

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

You will still need to get the glue off the resistor at the side of it. The glue goes conductive with time and may short it out . Sometimes the glue will soften slightly with repeat coats of IPA.
If you put shiney tinfoil down the side at an angle your camera may capture a mirror image of the detail on the side of the cap?

Tnx 4 the advice on the glue and amazing idea with tinfoil
IPA What is it?

Hi every1,
I need pls every1 who could tell what cap is cuz this little busterd is glued and i dont want 2 scrapted him now

Tnx 4 the help:-)

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

If you wanna I have some nice D10 caps, Samxon RS 3300 uF/16V and NCC KYA 3300 uF/6,3 V. Can pretty supply equivalent of everything in there. I also sell some on eBay but you will get it cheaper directly from me…

[c_hegge]

Re: ocz 420 u12 swollen caps

You could do that. It wouldn't make much difference, though.
