    Forton Source FSP PSUs

    Just a quick question

    What is the heads up on these?
    Are they work recapping?
    Are they better than equivalent Seasonics?

    I have had two of these as with FSP350-60MDNRevA 350W ATX with
    active PFC.

    Thanks for any insight

      if it's ost&teapo inside, i would say these don't even need recapping.
      those caps are good enough for psus.

      i wouldn't say you have equivalent seasonics, as they start at 2x prices of fsp...

      if you want 2x pricier, get corsair, that has good caps...

      it's interesting that such fsp
      http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104954
      actually got better user rating...

      seems few corsairs(of that model) that fail are usually DOA...that shouldn't be happening, because even their cheapest model is rather pricey...where's the quality control?

          Alas,

          These are OEM built Forton Source for Advent, Medion and the like.
          A quick look inside and its Jamicons in the O/P filter.

          No surprise really!

          I have a Seasonic SS-300GS with PFC, it was this I was referring to.

          Thanks

              Well if OST's are ok, then how about one of these?

              Edit: I hadn't noticed your location. Don't know if they'll ship over there.
              A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

                  Y

                  I have seen the thread reviewing the 550W Acbel - interesting.
                  These are found in Sun Workstations I believe.

                  As I recently acquired a dead Power Mac G4, I found
                  an Acbel in that. It is an Acbel API-9841 126W PSU.

                  I was going to use a good 550W and mod it for MAC purposes.
                  The MAC has 64-bit PCI slots - so good for a RAID adapter
                  and a HDD array albeit an adapter upgrade to a 2GHz CPU
                  is pricey.

                  As the AGP graphics in the G4 has further, an additional ADC connector
                  at +24V which powers MAC VDUs directly, I can even so,
                  use a normal AGP card with DVI which means I would not be able to use
                  a MAC VDU - no big deal there.

                  Thanks

                      Asus X532FL 3.2V at source and gate
                      by Lvsitano
                      I am having some trouble with troubleshooting a Asus X532FL rev 2.0 motherboard, which does not power on. So at the first MOSFET, I am getting 19V at the drain, and then 3.2V on both gate and source (compared with ground). Of course, the 2nd MOSFET's source will have 3.2v at source.

                      First MOSFET is a QM3056M6 and 2nd MOSFET is a QM0930M3

                      I already checked first MOSFET and source and gate are not shorted (drain with source not shorted either). Also I have 1.7V at the LDO rail (measured at the keyboard connector, as the power button is on the keyboard).

                      First...

                      Testing ATX PSUs under load - Does loading the ATX 24 pin also load EPS & PCIE?
                      by AJ847.63e
                      Hi Folks,

                      Just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding of mine (or what I expect is one). Isn't the 12V rail from the 24 pin, EPS and PCIE separated? IE if I put a power resistor on the ATX 12V pin that is not going to load, thus tell me if the EPS or PCIE rails are fine?

                      I was recently watching ArIs from Hardware Busters video on how to properly test ATX PSUs without using 5 figure Croma substations.

                      The PCB adapter he used breaks out the 12, 5 and 3.3V pins from the 24 pin and gives you banana plugs to connect to. That is a bit useless is it not? Aren't...

                      Samsung ProBook NP767XCM-K1CA battery connector replacment source?
                      by LarrySabo
                      Tonight I broke the battery connector on the motherboard of this laptop and need to source a replacement. See pictures. The marking seems to read B6u. The sticker on the motherboard reads TCZRFN6X00230 P03AJD BA92-20746B 06 29. If someone could suggest a proper part number and source, I would be very grateful....

                      Delta Source - ADP-30GF

                      Guys, I have a power supply like this, it is used in a Cisco SG300-28, but it suffered a discharge and the Q2 exploded. I don't think of anything like that.

                      The IC used is a uc3843b and the FET is a K2544.

                      Would anyone be able to help?
