Re: FSP Epsilon 1010w Worth recapping?

Yea sorry, they are all measuring slightly over by 0.1-0.3v

So the 12v rail measures at 12.3v

Is that normal?

That's only 2.5% high, i believe the ATX standard is +/-5%, so it's well within that.

This is at no load, i guess?

Yea at no load, not got a spare hdd to stick in it yet but measure again at load?

Re: FSP Epsilon 1010w Worth recapping?

As i said, it's well within tolerance It's conceivable it might decrease a bit under load, but you'd need one helluva load

So yeah, i wouldn't worry about it

Those things are a pain to recap...

You can fit 10mm ones in some places, but only if you use new parts (because long leads).
But that's not that good a unit. After Recap I'd rather treat it as a 500W one...

The plattform is the same from 350W to 1000W, need to say more?

Yea the long leads bit sounds about right as I spent about 20mins trying to get one of the old caps back in that was near a coil and had to get in at an angle using tweezers. Nightmare

Yea is only posting a mid range system no more than 400w at loads I would hazzard a guess.
