    should i recap this now or later

    Hello, i've been building a custom variable power supply for a long time now.

    How it works: i have a 12v 5A power supply which connects to a buck/boost converter giving me a voltage range of .8V to 29V.

    Now time for the thing that i want to know.
    The 12V 5A power supply has 3 1000uf 16v output caps all of them looks to be in good shape.

    But it's the brand of the caps that makes me want to replace them.

    Current brand of the output caps: cheng.

    I have 3 UCC KY caps of the 1000uf 16v type leftover from my ATX PSU repair.
    Thanks.
    I'm not a expert, I'm just doing my best.

          Caps are cheap, just replace them now and save yourself a time in the future.

              If i was to leave it the way it was the power supply would fail sooner so yes it will save me time it the future.

                  ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
                  by momaka
                  Here’s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
                  This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF caps… which aren’t any good news either.

                  So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:

                  no-name Radeon 9600 XT recap and cooler
                  by momaka
                  I've been seeing a lot of cheap-looking (but not always so cheap) no-name AGP video cards on eBay for a while. They started popping up quite a bit when the market for AGP cards became more alive all of a sudden due to interest in “retro” PCs. One thing that struck me about these cheapo cards is that they almost always seem to come with garbage caps - including the abominable Sacon FZ. That aside, though, I've been wondering about the rest of the quality (or lack of?) on these cards. So I decided to satisfy my curiosity yet again.

                  This one was actually suggested to me by ChaosLegionnaire....

                  Recap motherboards :: Abit KG7-LITE and Soltek SL-75FRN2-L
                  by Foetuss
                  Hi all

                  Hope this is in the correct place.

                  I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
                  Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid .

                  Pictures of the boards are attached.
                  What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

                  Soltek Golden ::
                  4 1500µF 16V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL152MJ16S (Chemi-Con 1500µF 16V)
                  6 3300µF 6.3V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL272MJ20S (Chemi-Con 2700µF 16V)...

                  Got 4 LG L222WS 22" for free - psu recap
                  by goodpsusearch
                  Got 4 CCFL 16/10 monitors for free.

                  The resolution is almost Full HD (1680x1050)

                  VGA Input only is a bummer though.

                  Uses cheap TN panel with terrible viewing angles.

                  Even though this is not 17" 5:4 screen, still has very low resell value here. Can be found for 15-20 euros.

                  All the 4 monitors were not working and needed psu recap. Used mix of mediocre / junk caps to recap them, then donated 3 of them to friends/relatives and kept 1 for myself. Also like to install extra caps on empty spaces to help them last longer.

                  I need to order some 1000uf @ 16 volt it has to be 8mm in diameter what is a good choice
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  Here is the page of capacitors that I can choose from what is a good choice for a FSP 400-60GLC
                  https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...Xmc1YPJ6BlESoA

                  I try to use a 565-1664-ND which is a 10mm in diameter unfortunately it will not fit because there are two of them the same size and value and there is no room and they go to two different circuits not in parallel...
