seasonic ss-300fs apfc worth recapping?

[nick122]

I bought this psu about 10 years ago for my p4 rig. Yesterday that pc broke and i took its psu. It's a seasonic ss-300-fs apfc. Caps on the secondary are "Pce-tur". 2 of them are bulging and 2 are leaking. What are adequate replacements and is it worth recapping?

Re: seasonic ss-300fs apfc worth recapping?

Looks like a pretty good PSU to me. I would definitely recap it. 300 Watts should be more than enough for a mid-range modern system today (something with perhaps a 60-90 Watt TDP CPU and a 20-100 Watt TDP GPU).

I don't have the datasheets for Pce-Tur and Pce-Tul caps, but from what I remember reading some time ago, they don't have specs that are anything spectacular. So even something like Panasonic FC, Nichicon PW, and United Chemicon LXZ/LXV/LXY would be okay. I'm sure that any of these will work too:
Panasonic FK, FR, and FM
Nichicon HE, PS, PM, PJ, and PW
Chemicon KY, KYB, KYA, KZE
Rubycon ZL
