Re: My new Seasonic has questionable caps.

just on JG OW articule
the caps were from what I could tell at a quick look at the article

Fuhjyyu (is it TMR ?) Neopower 480W
Capxon on the other FSP600-80GLC

I think both got Chemi-Cons KZE and KY

Thats an interesting point you make bonez
if these had a higher ESR lower ripple....

I was "assuming" the replacement were of better specs then those replaced
which sort of didn't make sense....

anyway no guru here

cheers

Re: My new Seasonic has questionable caps.

I think KZE is ok, but the KY are from my point of view not the ones, i would have put in there.
My favourite would have been Panasonic FM, Rubycon ZLH, Samxon RS or GD or Pany FC.
Sure, apart from the ripple measurement, the Antec from OW is working fine, and it would probably make no difference in real world usage.

I think so: the graphs have a V/Div value of 0.01 instead of jonnyguru's usual 0.05, so they are emphasized 5 times. As OklahomaWolf stated in the forum, the recapped units have a ripple value still under Atx recommendations, so they aren't bad, only worse than before when speaking to ripple and [a lot] better when speaking of reliability.

Well, I finally got time to recap the dumb thing. Unfortunately my ISP is being today, so I'll upload the pics when I can. Right now it works about 1/3 of the time, and goes about 1/100th of the normal speed. They'll probably stumble in there hung over tomorrow morning and flip the switch or something to fix it.

Stupid wireless internet.

Edit: Oh, and the power supply does work well after the recap.

What you're looking at is a mix of Panasonic FC, FM, and Samxon GD and RS.
