Re: PSU With Premium Capacitors
I only know Seasonic S12 retail and my be Corsair VX for sure.
The several Seasonic S12 380w in black cases has Rubycon (not sure, but AFAIK YXF series) for the smaller capacitors (those tiny ones, not used at the output) and UCC KZE or similar.
Amacrox and Delta OEm units does mostly contain Capxon, which is for sure not the best, but probably better then anything else apart from Jap. capacitors.
Recently i am looking for an older ATX 1.3 supply with good capacitors, but sadly there aren`t any.

Re: PSU With Premium Capacitors
If it is a fact, it ain't a plug... just good information.
The only problem I have with the fan, is it a proprietary size, and more important: a sleeve bearing operating in vertical axis mode. This is hard on sleeve bearings and leads to early end-of-life.
More 140mm fans are coming on the market daily. Many, such as the Evercool Red Scorpion do not use sleeve bearings. The Noctua-Sony-Panaflo style fluid bearings are becoming more common as users demand (and pay for) higher quality fans. Fluid bearings are a mainstay in current disk drives, and with excellent results.
Slow rpm, high cfm fans are at the forefront in noise reduction.Last edited by bgavin; 05-29-2008, 09:15 AM.

Got anything down the line, say in the 400-500w range, that uses good caps? I know the retail Seasonic units do, but anything else? With those Seasonic units, I may as well throw the budget out the window!A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

Re: PSU With Premium Capacitors
I ordered a Corsair CMPSU-450VX 450W ATX12V V2.2 from Newegg for my upcoming ABit IP35 Pro build. The description mentioned Japanese solid caps on the critical output rails. We shall see what it looks like when it arrives.
I've been happy with Sparkle AT350-PN for business machine use, but these don't have the ATX12v 2.0 or whatever spec for the 8-pin aux power connector. The Corsair comes with both 4-pin and 8-pin to fit the IP35 Pro. This model is also advertised with extra long wiring, so it will fit the Antec P182 case that is holding the new system.

Re: PSU With Premium Capacitors
Seasonic low-end PSUs comes with OST capacitor in the secondary while High-ends comes with UCC (some models have a few UCC solid caps too).
CWT builds (like some Thermaltakes) in the 500 to 800W range comes with Rubycon or Matsushita (Primary) and Samxon (secondary).

Re: PSU With Premium Capacitors
>Well yeah, for $200 (current Newegg price). I'm sure it's a nice unit, but that's more wattage than I'd ever use.
my thoughts too, only i would say it like this:
why would i pay for those extra 500w i will never use.
then it boils down to corsair models, which should cost about 80$, i think...
this one

that way you'll only pay for extra 150w you'll never use..hehe...
