Please upload your images here, don't host them on external sites.

Re: Ocz600sxs

Sorry, but I don't know how to upload images here.

When I click on the insert image, what happen is that a small box pops up requesting the URL.

So how can I upload the images into the badcaps host?

Re: Ocz600sxs

There is Manage attachement button under the message field.

Re: Ocz600sxs

Thanks, I will do that way if I need to upload more images

Re: Ocz600sxs

I have uploaded some of the pics in case they disappear - I still have a number of psus to fix so may be useful

Re: Ocz600sxs

In the meantime I have discovered this is not original Blue Storm II paltform but evolved - Everest/Epsilon. They are most likely troubled the same way with caps as they are almost same, I have at least one with bloated caps waiting in a carton box. They are just not so infamous because after BSII, people ceased buying them.

Re: Ocz600sxs

Hi Behemot,

Can you explain what you has said? Is this a shitty power supply? This issue can be solved? (By replacing all the caps)

[Behemot]

Re: Ocz600sxs

It's crap until you replace the caps.

Anyway, what about the measurement?

[Pyroblast]

Re: Ocz600sxs

I'll be taking the measurements tomorrow in the afternoon. I'll ler you know.

So, that coltage level has that value because of the caps? Better, might be.

Re: Ocz600sxs

Here's how you upload images locally btw.

The PSU is worth recapping. These FSP elipson builds do have a somewhat noisy DC output, but it should at least be a reliable enough unit if given some decent caps.

Re: Ocz600sxs

Hi guys, I have measure the +12V and the +5V lines and those are good. They have 12.38V and 5.025V.

So I don't know why the computer goes down when I run the 3D Mark.

My specs are: E8400, P5E3, 2x2GB DDR3, HD7870 and 120GB SSD.

I think that this PSU should work correctly with system, based on the 600W.

Any suggestions?

[Behemot]

Re: Ocz600sxs

As expected.

Most likely caps are going bad already.

[Pyroblast]

Re: Ocz600sxs

What you mean by that? You think that the CAPs are going bad and they doesn't handle the power demand?

But I have been monitoring the +12V line while running the 3D Mark, and at the moment the computer rebooted I think that the DMM was showing +12V but it might so fast that I couldn't notice that.

Re: Ocz600sxs

BTW, theoretically speaking, if I run OCCT or Prime95, the CPU will ask for lots of power to the POWER supply, right? That might be a good test to do and see if the PSU ok?

Running the 3D Mark affects the graphic card, so if the graphic card has some problems it will shutdown the computer.

Or maybe because the CPU uses the 3.3V line only that line will be tested? So it might be really the 12V caps that might be in bad shape?

Correct. P95 stresses the CPU, which will put more load on the PSU

Running the 3D Mark affects the graphic card, so if the graphic card has some problems it will shutdown the computer.

3DMark does load the GPU, but also the PSU as well

Or maybe because the CPU uses the 3.3V line only that line will be tested?

No. The CPU uses the 12V rail, and so does the GPU. The other two rails are only used for some of the onboard peripherals, the RAM and drives. All of the really power hungry components are powered by the 12V, which is why most modern PSUs have around 20-25A on the 5V and 3.3V rails, regardless of whether they are 500W or 1KW, and it is only the 12V rail(s) which is substantially more powerful.

Re: Ocz600sxs

Thanks for the reply.

Só in your opinion you think that, for example, Dunning prime95 would be enough to teste the PSU? Or it would be a bettwr test to run prime95 AMD after that 3D Mark Professional? Running each onde of them it would be better, bit since is happening this to my computer:

I run prime 95 for 1 hour and everything is OK. While Dunning prime95 I took some measurememts to the +5V, +12V and +3.3V and all of them were good. I mean, all of them were around +-3% or so.

Them, when I run the 3D Mark, first with demo modelo, the computer reboots at certain point of the demo modelo. Reboots onde first time them before entering into the windows reboots again.

Yet in the 3D Mark, I remove the demo video and run the test. He cwas able to run all the tests bit when he finished and was about to show the score, puff reboots again.

3 notes:

. While running the 3D Mark, I think that the graphic card is doing some noise. Like the noise like a coil operating at HF or so. I Trier to listem wih my ear nexto to the graphic card AMD the PSU AMD it seems that the niise in comingo from the graphic card.

At first I though that I was 100% surge that was comming from the PSU but at that time I didn't had the case open.

. When I run the Prime95 teste there is no noise.

. I don't know if only running the prime95 is enough to guarantee that the PSU is OK.

What you guys think?

Kimd regarda.

Re: Ocz600sxs

If you want to test power supply than run Power Supply in OCCT.

But it will tell you nothing if you have unstable system from another reason than power supply and you don't know it. Have you stressed the system recently with some known good power supply? No? Than testing it with unknown PSU tells you nothing.

[Pyroblast]

Re: Ocz600sxs

Yeah, you are right.

I installed my onde 420W LC power PSU and ran the same tests, etc, etc and the PC did OK. I know that this PSU for this system is no suitable.

However that sound that I have mentioned remains and I think that comes from the graphic card.

But the strange thing is that, when running prime95 the PC didn't reboot and while running the 3D Mark Professional he reboots.

With my old PSU (420W) he did well. Played the demonstration video and the tests.

So this means that the graphic card test requires more power and the ocz psu doesn't handle that power demand, right?

So the PSU is in bad shape. Recaping might help?

Regards.

EDIT: While running the 3D Mark Professional with my 420W LC POWER PSU the minimum ouput voltage measured was 11.80V (-1.667%).

Re: Ocz600sxs

Found a OCZ GSX 700 in my pile of power supplies. Here are some pictures for comparison

Re: Ocz600sxs

It looks like the same PCB as the 600 sxs, right?
