Re: Fun with fixing I-Micro power supplies
But then I'm not using your RS caps
I have 7 computers running 24/7, and most of them have PFC or PPFC now. The half bridge unit with no PFC is powering a computer that pulls 52W DC. Is it really worth the trouble to reduce a few watts on one machine? Not in my opinion. And I also doubt its efficiency is in the 60's. It's probably 75% at worst.
Good units, but I also get those Antec Earthwatts a lot for free that just have one bad CapXon or Ltec. Much better value Plus, isn't working on PSUs part of the fun? What's fun about buying an already perfect PSU?

poor efficiency it will become very expensive in the long term no matter how much you payed or did nto pay) for that.
On the other hand 80 PLUS Gold certified Seasonic SSP-350GT or similar quite cheap unit has 100% quality internals and you will definitelly notice 25-30 % higher efficiency as long as you don't steal electricity…
